potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of

▲ Keep a first aid kit and fire
extinguisher handy.
▲ Keep emergency numbers for
doctor, ambulance, hospital, and
fire department near phone.

Tire Safety
▲ Tire changing can be dangerous
and should be preformed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Wear
Protective Equipment
▲ Wear protective clothing and
equipment appropriate for the job.
Clothing should be snug fitting
without fringes and pull strings to
avoid entanglement with moving
parts.
▲ Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause hearing impairment or
hearing loss. Wear suitable
hearing protection such as
earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Operating equipment safely
requires the operator’s full
attention. Avoid wearing radio
headphones while operating
machinery.
Keep Riders Off Mowers
▲ Riders obstruct the operator’s
view, they could be struck by
foreign objects or thrown from the
machine.
▲ Never allow children under 16
years of age to operate
equipment.
Use Seat Belt and ROPS
▲ Operate only mowers equipped
with Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and seat belt.
▲ Fasten seat belt snugly and
securely to help protect operator
from being thrown, crushed, or
severely injured if a rollover
occurs; and from falling off the
mower and being ran over. Not
using the seat belt & ROPS can
result in serious injury or death.
▲ Wearing protective equipment
such as safety shoes, safety
glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs is
highly recommended.
▲ LOW STRUCTURES CAN FLIP
MOWER OVER BACKWARDS.
Lower ROPS to drive under low
structures such as tree limbs and
doorways.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲ Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines or performing work
on the system.
▲ Make sure all hydraulic fluid
connections are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition before applying
pressure to the system.
▲ Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
▲ Wear protective gloves and safety
glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems.
▲ DO NOT DELAY. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor familiar with
this type of injury immediately.
Any fluid injected into the skin

Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This mower has been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from this machine.
Application
The Accu-Z ZT360 and ZT372 Zero Turn Mowers from
Land Pride are commercial duty mowers. They are very
maneuverable, extremely comfortable, highly productive,
and come in cutting configurations designed to meet the
needs of even the most discriminating owners and
custom operators. This makes the ZT3 Series one of the
premier choices of grass maintenance machines for
ranchers, farmers, large estate owners, cemeteries,
municipalities, campuses, and landscape maintenance
contractors.
The ZT3 Series mowers come equipped with a choice of
either 60" or 72" cutting decks with high blade tip speeds
ranging from 18,350 feet per minute on the 60" deck to
19,300 feet per minute on the 72" deck. The decks adjust
from 1" to 5" cutting height in 1/4" increments. The 60"
deck meets the needs of customers who mow in tighter
areas around obstacles or want to maintain a lower
cutting height over undulating terrain. The more
productive 72" 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 Accu-Z is
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
smoother ride.Twin-lever hydrostatic steering will enable
the Land Pride Accu-Z Zero Turn Mowers to turn within
their overall length. Couple this outstanding
maneuverability with a maximum 12 mph mowing speed
and low center of gravity and you’ve got mowing
capability that’s fast, safe, comfortable, and easy to
transport that will meet your commercial needs.
See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 53 and
“Features & Benefits” on page 56 for additional
information and performance enhancing options.

Folding ROPS
Low structures can make contact with the ROPS and flip the
mower over backwards. Fold ROPS down when driving under
low structures such as tree limbs and doorways.
Keep hands and other body extremities away from hinged
pinch points while folding and unfolding ROPS.
The ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) is shipped
factory installed and folded down.
ROPS Unfolding Instructions
Refer to Figure 1-4:
ROPS locking knobs (#1) are shipped in an attached
parts bag.
1. Remove hitch pins (#2) and rotate upper ROPS
frame (#3) up to position shown.
2. Reinsert hitch pins (#2) and secure with attached
hairpins.
3. Install locking knobs (#1) and hand tighten.
Electrical Cable Connection
Refer to Figure 1-5:
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.
• Always disconnect negative (black) cable from battery
before disconnecting positive (red) cable.
• Always reconnect positive (r ed) cable to the battery’s
positive (+) post before reconnecting negative (black)
cable to the battery’s negative (-) post.
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.
Attach black battery cable (#3) to the negative post with
1/4"-20 x 3/4" GR5 serrated screw (#1) and hex whiz
nut (#2). Tighten whiz nut to the correct torque.

until resting on it front face as shown.
4. When finished working, lower floor pan down using
hand holds and rotate deck lift pedal (#1) forward to
normal operating position.
Moving Mower with Stalled Engine
Refer to Figure 2-7:
Each hydro-drive is equipped with a bypass valve for the
purpose of moving the mower when engine is inoperable.
Both bypass valves are located under the hydro-drive
cooling fan. They face toward the center of the mower in
the location shown.
1. Rotate bypass valve slot to vertical (Bypass) position
to allow drive wheel to rotate freely.
2. Repeat step 1 for the other hydro-drive.

CAUTION
IMPORTANT: The deck must be level and blades
disengaged before setting deck cutting height. See
instructions for “Deck Leveling” on page 28.
IMPORTANT: See deck stop (#3) in Figure 2-8.
To operate deck stop pin, push in center button on
head of pin to remove & insert pin.
NOTE: Cutting height provided on deck height
indicator (#4) is from 1" to 5" in 1/4" increments.
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.
35380
IMPORTANT: The starter motor will engage only if
blade engagement switch is (OFF), control levers
are (OUT) , and park brake is (ON).
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: 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.
Section 2: Operating Procedures
Transport Height
