If battery voltage is satisfactory, check cleanliness and tightness of terminals and ground connections. A general understanding of electrical servicing and use of basic test equipment is necessary for troubleshooting and repair.
Major overhaul or repair of starting motor or alternator should be performed by trained technicians only.

Transaxle Oil and Filter Change
The mower has two independent hydrostatic transaxle systems. Each system will require separate oil and oil filter changes. It is best to change oil soon after using the mower while dirt particles are still suspended in the oil. See page 43 for transaxle oil specifications.
Initially, change oil and oil filters after the first 25 to 50 hours of operation. Thereafter, change oil and filters every 200 hours or every year whichever comes first. Two filters are required with each oil change. They may be purchased from your nearest Land Pride dealer. Ask for filter Part No.
IMPORTANT: The transaxles must be purged after every oil change. See “Transaxle Purging Procedures” on page 35.
IMPORTANT: Clean debri from around the oil filter (#5), top port plug (#8) and expansion tank cap (#11) before draining any oil.
1.Park unit on a flat level surface. Stop engine and remove ignition key. Make sure blade engagement switch is in the down (OFF) position. Spread control levers fully apart.
