Tires

Use only tires recommended by Land Pride. Solid fill tires are not to be used on the Razor 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.

!WARNING

Acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. Avoid skin contact with battery acid and always wear eye protection when checking the battery. Flush area with clean water and call a physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing.

!WARNING

Do not allow an open flame near the battery when charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to a flame.

!WARNING

Incorrect battery cable connections can damage 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) battery cable before disconnecting positive (red) cable.

•Always reconnect positive (red) battery cable to the 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 5-3:

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
