Long Term Storage - Land Pride RCR2684 Operator's Manual

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Long Term Storage

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the implement when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always disconnect driveline from power take-off shaft
before servicing drivetrain and cutter blades. The power
take-off can be engaged if tractor is started.
• 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.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See "Cutter Blade Maintenance" on
page 24.
3. Inspect cutter for loose, damaged, or worn parts and
adjust or replace as needed.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent
rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol touch-up
paint. Paint is also available in touch-up bottles with
brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT, or GL
to the end of the aerosol part number.
