Fuel System
Refer to Figure 5-12:
The fuel tanks are located on the mower’s fenders. Total
capacity of the fuel tanks is 12 U.S. gallons. Before filling,
push blade engagement switch (OFF), move both control
levers (OUT), set park brake (ON), and turn switch key
(OFF). Allow engine to cool before filling tanks.
Allow engine to cool before filling tanks. Clean dirt from
around fuel tank cap. Remove cap and begin filling. Do
not fill fuel tanks to the top. Fuel will expand in hot
weather and seep out through the fuel tank vent system.
When finished, screw cap back on tight. EPA compliant
caps will make a clicking noise and ratchet action that
can be heard and felt when tight. Wipe up any spilled
gasoline. Use regular unleaded gasoline with an
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 or higher.
Land Pride recommends adding correct amounts of gas
stabilizer/conditioner in the fuel. For best results, follow
engine manufacturer’s directions. Using a fuel stabilizer/
conditioner in the fuel can provide benefits such as:
1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. Drain fuel tanks if storage is longer.
2. Cleans engine during operation.
3. Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.

IMPORTANT: The fuel system can be damaged if
the wrong fuel is used. Never use methanol, lead
gasoline, or unleaded gasoline containing more than
10% ethanol. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

DANGER
• Replacement of fuel system parts (i.e. gas caps, hoses, fuel
tanks, fuel filters, etc.) must be the same as original parts.
Fire and/or explosion can occur if not followed.
• Observe safe fuel handling precautions. Fuel is flammable
and vapors are very explosive. An explosion or fire can
burn, destroy and kill property, animals and people.
• Do not fill tank with engine running or while engine is hot.
Allow engine to cool before filling. Fuel spilled over
engine, muffler, or hot objects may result in a fire or
explosion.
• Allow engine to cool before servicing the fuel system.
• Do not smoke while handling fuel or around the fuel tanks.
• Do not fill fuel tanks to the top. Fuel will expand in hot
weather and seep out through the fuel tank vent system.
• Screw gas cap on immediately after filling a tank. Never
operate mower without gas caps installed.
• Clean up any gasoline spills immediately.
• Keep fuel away from open flame or spark.
• Store mower away from open flame and sparks.
• Refuel outdoors preferably, or in well ventilated areas.
• Never attempt to start the engine when there is a strong
odor of gasoline fumes present. Locate and correct cause.
• Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline and store
it in an approved container out of children’s reach.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle, on a truck,
or on a trailer. Interior carpets and plastic truck bed liners
insulate the container and slow loss of static charge.
• When practical, remove equipment from the truck or trailer
and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. If
this is not possible, then refuel the equipment on the truck
or trailer using a portable container and not a gasoline
dispenser nozzle. If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, keep nozzle in contact with rim of fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
• Gasoline is a poison that is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Long-term exposure
to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.
• Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank opening.
• Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
