Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Maintenance
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 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 new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.

DANGER
Always secure mower in the up position with solid supports
before servicing underside of mower. Never work under
equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop
equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst.
Either situation can drop the mower instantly even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.

DANGER
Perform maintenance only on a mower that is not running.
Disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park brake, shut
tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for blades to
come to a complete stop before dismounting from tractor to
perform maintenance!

installed before PTO is engaged. Never allow fingers, hands,
or other body extremities to come near a moving V-belt or
pulley. Doing so can result in server bodily injury or death.

WARNING
Frequently check all hardware to make certain it is tight and
not broken or missing. Such hardware can cause the mower to
not preform properly and may lead to breakage that can cause
bodily injury or death.
