Electrical System
The electrical system is protected by fuses located in the
fuse box. The fuse box lid, located on the vehicle’s left
side panel behind the driver’s seat, is attached with
Velcro. Remove lid by pulling out at the top two corners.
On the lid is a diagram illustrating fuses and their
locations. Fuses may be purchased through your nearest
Land Pride Dealer.
Common circuit problems are shorts, corroded or dirty
terminals, loose connections, defective wire insulation or
broken wires. Switches, solenoids and ignition
components can also not function, causing a short or
open circuit.
Before attempting any fault diagnosis of the electrical
system, use a test light or voltmeter to check battery
voltage. 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 and alternator
should be performed by trained technicians only.

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
Incorrect battery cable connections can damage vehicle’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 positive
(+) post before reconnecting negative (black) cable to
negative (-) post.
!
WARNING
Keep battery terminals from touching any metal parts when
removing or installing the battery. Do not allow metal tools to
short between battery terminals and metal vehicle parts. Sparks
can cause a battery gas explosion which will result in personal
injury.
!
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.
The battery is located under the seat. It may be either a
maintenance-free sealed battery or a maintenance-free
battery with removable vent caps. Inspect your battery
and know which battery you have. Water cannot be
added to sealed batteries as the vent caps are not
removable.
Land Pride recommends a maintenance-free battery
size BCI group U1/U1R. The battery should also have a
minimum of 300 cold cranking AMPs and 375 cranking
AMPs at 32
o
F. The battery support is designed to hold a
larger automotive style battery. Simply reposition the
J-hooks to the higher holes when installing a larger
battery. Always follow manufacturer’s maintenance,
safety, storing and charging specifications.
