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.
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.
•
Do not let children play on or around the attachment
including when stored. Children and/or attachment can fall.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause
the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate
and fall.
•
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings frequently. Brush and
other debris can damage hoses and fittings causing the load
to release and fall.
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the
implement back into service.
•
Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

Hydraulic System
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin 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. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
DO NOT DELAY.
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. These simple
maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence 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.
