Section 3:
Maintenance & Lubrication
Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the implement 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.
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.
1.
Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the Core Aerator and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt and then wash the surface
thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may
also be applied to unpainted area to minimize
oxidation. See also
2. Check for missing bolts and bolt wear. Replace bolts
if necessary.
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.
Replace all damaged or missing decals.
5. Lubricate as noted in
starting
6. Store Core Aerator on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer Core Aerator life.
7.
Follow all unhooking instructions on page 13 when
disconnecting tractor from the Core Aerator.

Maintenance
General
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 after using the unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Grease spoon gangs and optional
wheels per Lubrication Points Instructions on page 17.
Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.
The parts on your CA05 Series Core Aerator have been
specially designed and should only be replaced with
genuine Land Pride parts.
Do not alter the equipment in a
way which adversely affect its performance or reliability.
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:
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
Clean Spoons
The core Aerator efficiency is greatly reduced when the
spoons become plugged with dirt and debris. Remove
dirt and debris with a tool such as a screw driver or any
other hard pointed object. To make the job easier, clean
spoons immediately after operation. If needed, soak
spoons in water to soften the dirt and debris.
