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 to ensure the unit is
ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

DANGER
To avoid serious injury or 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.
1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the mower and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt from under the hood and
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.

2. Check rotor, blades, blade mounts, and blade bolts
for wear and replace if necessary. See "Rotor Blade
Replacement" on page 26.
3. Inspect mower for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4. 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.

5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. A light coat of oil or grease may also be applied to
areas where paint has worn off to minimize oxidation.
7. Lubricate as noted under "Lubrication Points" on
page 32.
8. Store mower on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer mower life. Lower unit onto a flat surface to
a suitable 3-point height. Ensure that the main frame
is stable.
