Tires
Use only tires recommended by Land Pride. Solid fill tires
are not to be used on the Accu-Z mower.
It is important for your safety and the safety of others that
the tires have correct air pressure. Check air pressure in
all four tires before each use. Visually inspect tires for
loss of air throughout each day of operation. See Tire
Inflation Chart below for correct tire pressure.
Electrical System

The battery is located under the seat. The electrical
system is a 12 volt, negative ground. Recommended
battery size is a garden mower BCI group U1R with 225

WARNING
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.

positive (+)post before reconnecting negative(black) cable
to the negative (-) post.
!
WARNING
Keep battery terminals from touching any metal mower parts
when removing or installing the battery. Do not allow metal
tools to short between the 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 will result in personal
injury.
!
WARNING
Do not overfill battery. Electrolyte may overflow and damage
paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery, use soap
and water. Be careful not to get soap and water into the
battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean corrosion off the
terminals.
Common circuit problems are usually caused by
electrical shorts, corroded or dirty terminals, loose
connections, defective wire insulation or broken wires.
Switches, solenoids and ignition components may also
fail, causing a shorted or open circuit.
Refer to Figure 5-6:
The electrical system is protected by fuses located along
the wire harness beneath the seat next to the engine.
The fuses are:
• Main - 20 Amp, blade type
