Land Pride Z52 , Z60, Z72 manual Mower Deck Operation, Danger, Discharge, Chute

Land Pride

Section 2 Operation

Use high blade speed. Your Accu Z is designed to operate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controls blade speed. The highest blade speed generally gives the best cut.

Direct grass discharge to right, away from unmown area. Select a mowing pattern that directs grass discharge towards the outside, not towards center, of mowing area. Generally, this means using a pattern utilizing left turns because side discharge is to right. Refer to Figure 2-10.In any case, avoid throwing grass discharge onto unmowed area because grass is then mowed twice. Mowing twice puts an unnecessary load on the unit and reduces mowing efficiency.

Mower Deck Operation

!DANGER!

Never attempt to make any adjustments to the mower deck while the engine is running or with the blade engagement switch engaged. Mower blades cannot be seen and are located very close to deck housing. Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.

With the engine running, engage the blade engagement switch (Refer to Figure 2-11)and advance engine throttle to full rpm.

NOTE: Engaging the blade engagement switch at high engine rpm or when under heavy load (in tall grass for example) can cause belts to slip, resulting in premature wear or possible damage.
