OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance & Lubrication
Hydraulic Maintenance
1. Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level per tractor
owner's manual and after any leakage. Check fluid
level with the cylinders in the retracted position.
NOTE
Repair any cylinder, hose, or valve that is leaking.
2.
Any time a cylinder is opened up, or whenever any
seal replacement is necessary, it is advisable to
clean all parts and replace all seals. Seal kits are
available from your Landoll dealer.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses weekly. Look for binding or
cracking. Replace all worn or defective parts
immediately.
Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personnel injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands
Figure
4-54. Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.

WARNING
See
Lower the unit to the ground, and relieve
hydraulic pressure before attempting to service
any hydraulic component. Accidental lowering
can result in serious personal injury.
4. Transport locks are provided to hold the implement in
a raised position. Do not attempt to perform any
service work under the implement without first
installing the transport locks. Before servicing any
hydraulic component, lower the implement to the
ground and relieve all system pressure. If a hydraulic
component is disconnected, repaired, or replaced, it
will be necessary to purge the system of air before
operation. See
"Hydraulic Lift System - Pull Hitch"
on page 4-16
on how to purge the hydraulic
systems.
Wheel Bearing Maintenance
Wheel bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the wheel
bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the tire.
3. Remove the hub cap, cotter pin, slotted nut and
washer.
4. Remove the hub. Clean and inspect the bearings and
hub cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
5. Repack the bearings using a high-quality wheel
bearing grease.
6. Slide the triple-lip seal onto the spindle. Do not install
the seal into the hub.
7. Slide the inner bearing cone and hub onto the
spindle.
8. Install the outer bearing cone, washer and slotted
nut.
9. Tighten the slotted nut while rotating the hub until
there is a slight resistance to wheel rotation. Then,
back the slotted nut off one notch, until the wheel
rotates freely without end play.
10. Slide the triple-lip seal to the hub and install the seal
in the hub.
NOTE
The triple-lip seals should point away from the hub to
keep contaminants out and allow grease to pass
