Chain Guards
Refer to Figure 5-20:
DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is
mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should
be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where
people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are in
or around the area. It is recommended that a safety shield be
placed between the operator and cutter on an open air tractor.
Before each use of the cutter, ensure all ten chain guard
sections (1-10) are present and undamaged. Replace
any damaged or missing chain guard components as
needed. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your
local Land Pride dealer.
Front and Rear Chain Guard (Tires, Axles, Hydraulics, &
Drive Components are Omitted for Clarity)

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 47.
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.
5. Replace all damaged or missing guarding & decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in
“Lubrication Points” starting
on page 54.
7. Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.
8. Follow “Unhook Rotary Cutter” instructions on
page 27 when disconnecting tractor from cutter.
Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement may also be
purchased in Orange, Green, Yellow or Red.
When ordering an optional color, the suffix number
corresponding to the color must be added at the end of
the part number. Parts ordered without the suffix number
will be supplied in factory standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is orange,
then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-555C82.
