Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication
Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the cutter when storing it for long periods and when
storing it at the end of a working season. This will ensure
the cutter is ready for field use the next time you hook-up
to it.
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before
servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the
drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain
if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.
•
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.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil or touch up paint 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 "Cutter Blades" on page 55.
3. Inspect 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. Paint is 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.
