Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This mower has been designed with care and built by
skilledworkers usingquality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The Accu-Z ZT60i and ZT72i Zero Turn Mowers from
Land Pride are commercial duty mowers. They are very
maneuverable,extremelycomfortable,highlyproductive,
and come in cutting configurations designed to meet the
needs of eventhe most discriminating owners and
custom operators. This makes the Accu-Z Series one of
the premier choices of grass maintenance machines for
ranchers, farmers, large estate owners, cemeteries,
municipalities, campuses, and landscape maintenance
contractors.
TheAccu-Z Seriesmowers come equipped with achoice
of either 60" or 72" cutting decks with high blade tip
speedsthat rangefrom 18,350feet per minuteon the60"
deck to 18,800 feet per minute on the 72" deck. The
cutting decks adjust from 1" to 5" cutting height in
1/4" increments. The 60" deck meet the needs of
customers who need to mow in tighter areas around
obstacles or want to maintain a lower cutting height over
undulating terrain. The more productive72" cutting deck
will meet the needs of customers with more level and
open areas to cut and just want to get the mowing job
done faster. The ZT60i cutting deck offers a choice of
23.5 and 27 hp Kawasaki while the ZT72i decks are
supplied with 27 hp Kawasaki air cooled engines for
proven performance, power, and reliability.
Customers living in areas with hills or warmer and wetter
climates will typically want to employ the floating axle
capability for enhanced traction capability and a
smootherride. Twin-leverhydrostatic steeringwill enable
the mowers to turn within their overalllength. Couplethis
outstanding maneuverability with a 13 mph mowing
speed and low center of gravity and you’ve got mowing
capability that’s fast, safe, comfortable, and easy to
transport. Top all of this off with Land Pride’sautomotive
drum style parking brake and the Accu-Z ZT60i and
ZT72i Series mowers from Land Pride will meet the
commercial duty needs described above.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 55 and

Driving The Mower
!
Never make sudden stops or sudden reversing of travel
direction,especially when going down a slope. The steering is
designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of control
levers in either direction could result in a reaction that can
cause serious injury.
Never make sudden speed changes from reverse to forward.
Always push control levers forward gently to avoid sudden
change in speed. Any sudden forwardspeed changecan cause
the front wheels to raise off the ground resulting in loss of
control, mower damage and/or personal injury.
DANGER
!
DANGER
To Start and Increase Speed
Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 19:
After starting theengine, release park brake and engage
control levers by moving handles fully (IN). This makes
the levers ready for steering while traveling.
Moving control levers an equal distance away from
neutral will increase travel speed.
• Start forward travel by gently pushing on the control
levers. The further forward the control levers are
pushed the faster the travel speed.
• Start backing up bygently pulling onthe control levers.
Thefurther back the control levers are pulledthe faster
the travel speed.

• While moving forward, pull back gently on control
levers to decrease speed. The further back the control
levers are pulled the slower the travel speed until
neutral is reached.
• While backing up, push forward gently on control
levers to decrease speed. The further forward the
control levers are pushed the slower the travel speed
until neutral is reached.
• Move control levers to neutral to stop. (Ref. Frame #2)
• Spread both control levers fully apart and pull park
brake lever up to (ON) when stopped. (Ref. Frame #1)
To Steer
Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 19:
• To Steer Straight While Traveling Forward
