The fuel tanks are located in the tractor’s fenders. Total
capacity for the fuel tanks is 12.2 U.S. gallons.
When filling the fuel tanks disengage blade engagement,
place control levers in park brake position, and stop tractor
engine. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap and begin filling. When finished, screw the cap on
securely and wipe up any spilled gasoline. Use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Using a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the tractor can
provide benefits such as:
1. Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days or
less. For longer storage, drain the fuel tanks.
2. Cleans the engine during operation.
3. Eliminates gum-like varnish build-up in the fuel system.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas. Follow the gas stabilizer/conditioner manufacturer’s
directions for best results. The fuel filter (Figure 4-8A) is
installed in the fuel line between fuel tanks and engine fuel
pump on the rear left side of the engine. Replace filter
annually or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever
occurs first. For fuel filter removal refer to the engine
owner’s manual. When replacing the fuel filter, check the
fuel line hoses for any cracks or leaks. Replace as
needed.
Refer to Figure 4-7. A fuel shut-off valve is located on the
outlet port of each fuel tank. Close these valves (turn
clockwise) to prevent fuel flow to the engine.

Draining the fuel tank
1. Park the unit on a flat surface. Stop the engine and
remove the ignition key. Make sure blade engagement
switch is in the down (OFF) position. Place control
levers in the park brake position. Disconnect negative
battery cable.
2. Close the fuel shut-off valve on the fuel tank to be
drained.
3. Trace the fuel line from the shut-off valve to the
Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve (Refer to Figure 2-3 on
page 9). Loosen the hose clamp and remove the fuel
line from the tee.
4. Place the end of the fuel line into a gas can or a drain
pan and open the fuel shut-off valve to drain the fuel
from the fuel tank.
5. When fuel tank is drained re-route the fuel line to the
Left/Right Fuel Tank Valve and attach to the valve.
Clamp fuel line to valve.
6. Fill fuel tank with proper grade of gasoline and open
shut-off valve.
Changing fuel filters
Refer to Figure 4-8A and Figure 4-8B
The fuel filter is installed in the fuel line between fuel tanks
and engine fuel pump. Replace filter (Land Pride Part No.
831-031C) annually or after every 500 hours of operation,
whichever occurs first.
When replacing the fuel filter, check the fuel line hoses
and fuel shut-off valve grommet for any cracks or leaks. A
fuel shut-off valve is located on each fuel tank (Figure 4-7).
Close these valves to prevent fuel flow to the engine.
