Land Pride
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.
!
WARNING!
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck towards
bystanders.
!
WARNING!
Never operate the mower deck with discharge chute removed or
in raised position.
!
WARNING!
Always check area to be mowed for rocks and other debris
before mowing.

!
DANGER!

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.
