NOTES:
1. Initial engine oil and oil filter change is after the first 5 hours of operation. Thereafter, change engine oil and oil filter
every 50 hours of operation. Change every 25 hours when operating the engine under dusty or dirty conditions,
heavy load, high temperatures, and hot weather periods. Refer to Engine Owner's Manual.
2. Torque lug nuts initially and after first 2 hours of operation.
3. Remove cooling shrouds and clean cooling areas. Check oil cooler fins and clean as needed. Refer to Engine
Owner's Manual.
4. Inspect ground and deck belt tensions every 6 months or 100 hours and replace if worn or cracking is noticed.
Otherwise, replace every 200 hours or 2 years whichever comes first.
5. Inspect transaxles for oil leaks. Have your nearest Land Pride Service center make repairs as needed.
6. Replace air cleaner filter element if damaged, every 200 hours or every season (whichever comes first). Replace
more frequently when used in dusty conditions.
7. The transaxles are self contained and maintenance free. Check oil level in a transaxle only if it shows signs of
leaking, is operating hot, is noisy, or if unit lacks power after operating it for a short time.
8. X/M = Service per hours indicated in column or monthly (whichever comes first).
X/A = Service per hours indicated in column or annually (whichever comes first).
