Maintenance
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:
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service.
•
Backup alarm must be in good working order to warn
others. Use a backup camera or rear-view mirror that is in
good condition to help see undesirable situations behind the
unit. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for blind spots.
•
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.
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.
1. After using your pallet fork for a few lifts, check forks
to make sure they are still secured and check pallet
fork to make sure it is still properly attached to the
loader hitch.
2. Check forks to make sure they are not damaged,
broken, or worn excessively. Repair or replace as
needed.
3. Always remove any material that has become
entangled in the forks before continuing to use them.
4. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride
dealer.

Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the attachment when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the pallet fork. Scrape off compacted
dirt and then wash its surface thoroughly with a
garden hose.
2. Inspect pallet fork for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace when needed.
3. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Kubota dealer for touch-up
paint. Paint is available in aerosol can, quarts, and
gallon sizes. See chart below.
4. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
5. A coating of oil may also be applied to areas where
paint is worn off to minimize oxidation.
6. Store pallet fork inside a building and away from
human activity if possible. Inside storage will reduce
maintenance and make for a longer life.
7. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 15 when
disconnecting skid steer or tractor from the Plate
Mounted Pallet Fork.
8. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored
pallet fork.
