Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Storage Instructions

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the Grooming Mower when parking it for long periods
and when parking it at the end of a working season. This
will help ensure that the mower is ready for field use the
next time you hook-up to it.
!
WARNING
Perform maintenance only on a mower that is not running.
Always 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!
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the deck and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and
then wash the 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 "Service Mowing Blades" on page
19.
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. They are 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.

Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer mower life.
