Section 6: Maintenance & Lubrication
General Maintenance Information
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts after using unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Land Pride dealer.

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.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not alter implement or replace parts on the implement with
other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or meet OEM
(Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications. They can
weaken the integrity and impair the safety, function,
performance, and life of the implement. Replace parts only
with genuine OEM parts.
Hydraulic System
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor. Replace your tractor's hydraulic filter
element at the prescribed intervals. These simple
maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of
control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
