Maintenance
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 bucket for several
hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are
tight and secured.
Check hitch fit-up, hydraulic hoses, and fittings on a
regular basis to ensure trash or other objects have not
loosened the hitch connection or damaged hydraulic
hoses and fittings.
Replace worn, damaged, or missing bucket parts only
with genuine Land Pride parts.
Replace illegible or missing safety labels by obtaining
new labels from your Land Pride dealer.

Hydraulic System
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure your power
machine’s reservoir remains free of dirt and
contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching
them to your power machine. Replace hydraulic filter
elements at the prescribed intervals. Performing simple
maintenance will go a long way to prevent occurrences of
control valve, hydraulic cylinder, and hydraulic motor
problems.
Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses,
fittings, and cylinders before each use of the equipment.
Replace damaged components as needed. Order only
genuine Kubota parts from your local Kubota dealer.
