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 and pins after using the cultivator for
several hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure
they are tight and secured. Replace 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:
•
Allow only persons to perform maintenance on this
implement who have been properly trained in its safe
operation.
• Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in 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.
C-Tine Shank and Blade Maintenance
Figure 4-1
C-Tine Blades
Refer to Figure 4-1:
Inspect C-tine blades (#9), plow bolts (#10), flat
washers (#8), lock washers (#7), and hex nuts (#6) for
wear and replace when needed. Tine blades can be
adjusted down as they wear. When out of adjustment,
they can be rotated. Replace C-tine blades when both
ends of the blades are worn excessively. It is best if all
tine blades are adjusted, rotated, or replaced at the same
time to ensure they are of equal length for digging in the
ground. Rotate, adjust or replace tine blades as follows:
1. Remove nuts (#6), lock washers (#7), flat
washers (#8), plow bolts (#10), and C-tine
blades (#9).
2. If tine blades (#9) can be rotated, rotate them
180
o
and reinstall with plow bolts (#10), flat
washers (#8), lock washers (#7), and hex nuts (#6).
Tighten hex nuts to the proper torque.
3. If tine blades (#9) are worn out on both ends, discard
old blades (#9), plow bolts (#10), flat washers (#8),
lock washers (#7), and hex nuts (#6).
4. Install new blades (#9) with new plow bolts (#10), flat
washers (#8), lock washers (#7), and hex nuts (#6).
Tighten hex nuts to the proper torque.
