Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication
General Maintenance Information
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts and pins after using the unit for several
hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are
tight and secured. Lubricate components on schedule.
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining them from your Land Pride dealer.

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Work only in areas that are well ventilated. Never operate
an engine in a closed area without venting the exhaust
fumes. Exhaust fumes will cause asphyxiation and can lead
to death.
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
•
Always disengage power take-off before lifting implement
up, and never operate implement in the raised position.
Objects can be thrown at high speeds toward people or
animals
•
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before
servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the
drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain
if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.

WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not operate Wood Chipper with an out-of-balance rotor,
damaged or worn knives. Internal parts can work loose or
break at high speeds. Always replace all blades at the same
time.
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service.
•
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the implement.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

•
Wear eye protection and gloves while inspecting, removing,
sharpening, and replacing knives.
•
Knife bolts must be tightened to the correct torque value.
Not doing so can damage the chipper and cause bodily
injury. Torque values for the knife bolts are provided under
"Additional Torque Values" on page 40
IMPORTANT: Replace knives with genuine Land
Pride knives only. All knives must be replaced at the
same time. Not replacing knives at the same time
will result in an out-of-balance condition that can
contribute to premature bearing breakdown and
create structural cracks in the chipper housing.
