Electrical Cable Connection
Refer to Figure 1-6:
!
Incorrect battery cable connections can damage the mower’s
electrical system and cause battery cables to spark. Sparks
around a battery can result in a battery gas explosion and
personal injury.
Keep battery terminals from touching any metal mower parts
when removing or installing battery. Do not allow metal tools
to short between battery terminals and metal mower parts.
Shorts caused by battery terminals or metal tools touching
metal mower components can cause sparks. Sparks can cause
a battery gas explosion which can result in personal injury.
WARNING
• Always disconnect negative (black) cable from battery
before disconnecting positive (red) cable.
• Always reconnect positive (red) cable to the battery’s

Engine Preparations
1. Checkengine oil levelat the dipstick. Add oil if below
fullmark. Do notoverfill.Refer toEngineOperator’s
Manualfor oil recommendation and to“Engine Oil&
Oil Filter” on page 43 in this manual.
NOTE: Mowers are shipped from the factory
without fuel in the fuel tanks.
2. Firstread instructionsunder “Fuel System” onpage

Engine Starting
The safety start inter lock system is designed to prevent
runaway or accidental entanglement.
IMPORTANT: The starter motor will engage only if
blade engagement switch is (OFF), control levers
are (OUT) , and par k brake is (ON).
The following steps are correct procedures for star ting
the engine. If difficulty is encountered, contact your local
Land Pride dealer.
1. Before starting engine, make sure:
a. Blade engagement switch is (OFF).
b. Both control levers are positioned (OUT).
c. Park brake is (ON).
2. Set speed control to approximately 1/2 open throttle.
IMPORTANT: Use choke when engine is cold or if
warm and engine fails to start after 5 seconds of
cranking. Avoid engine flooding by pushing choke
control knob to (OFF) as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT:It is best to mow around obstructions;
not over them. Beware, the front of the deck can
clear an obstacle and still make contact by high
centering on the obstacle. Mowing over obstacles
that make contact with the deck can bend/break
mower deck, mower blades, and blade spindles.
1. If it is necessary to dr ive over an obstruction, stop
mower, turn off blades, and raise deck fully up to
transport position.
2. Moveforward slowly to make cer tain deck clears the
obstruction.
3. Lowerdeckto cutting heightafter mowerhas passed
over obstruction, engage blades, and continue
mowing.

IMPORTANT: The engine starter should not be
operated for periods longer then 30 seconds at a
time. An interval of at least two minutes should be
allowed between such cranking periods to protect
the starter from overheating and burn-out.
3. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate clockwise to
engage starter motor. Release key when engine
starts.
4. Perform test to make sure safety start interlock
system is operating properly. Refer to “Safety Start
Interlock System” on page 19.
5. As soon as engine begins to r un, check to make
certain oil warning light is off. If not, stop engine
immediately, and check for the cause. Refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 56.
6. Allowengine to idle a fewminutes to warm up before
operating the mower.
