Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

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.

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.

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.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death: 

Make sure controls are all in neutral position or park before

starting the power machine.

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be

performed with tractor PTO disengaged, mower lowered

completely to the ground or folded with transport locks

engaged and tractor engine shut off with ignition key

removed.

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 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.

Buildup of debris around moving components and

gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and

gearboxes free from debris.

Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire

hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level.

1. Frequently inspect mower for loose bolts and nuts.

See 

“Blade Removal and Installation” 

on page 36

to identify left-hand threaded bolts. Tighten all

hardware as indicated in 

“Torque Values Chart”

 on

page 52.

2. Check drive belt tension after several hours of

mowing. Refer to 

“Belt Tension” 

on page 23.

3. Lubricate components as listed under 

“Lubrication” 

on page 41.

4. Always maintain proper air pressure in the tires.

Refer to 

“Tire Inflation Chart” 

on page 52.

5. Replace worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by

obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer. See

Information about 

“Safety Labels” 

on page 6.

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 tractor's 

hydraulic reservoir remains free of dirt and other 

contaminations. 
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends clean before 

attaching them to your tractor. Replace tractor hydraulic 

filter element at the prescribed intervals. These simple 

maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of 

control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses, 

fittings and cylinders before each use of the cutter. 

Replace damaged components as needed.

Transport Tires

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death: 

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed

by trained personnel using correct tools and equipment.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling

equipment adequate for the weight involved.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose

long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in

front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if

available. Do not over inflate tires.

Do not weld on or heat a rim. High heat can weaken and/or

warp the rim and damage the tire. Air pressure inside the

tire can increase enough to cause an explosion.

Heavy-duty tire sealant has been added in transport tires 

to reduce air loss from punctures due to nails/thorns etc.
1. Check tires for low air pressure, missing nuts,

missing lug bolts, wear, separated rubber, and bent,

broken, or cracked wheel rims.

2. Inflate air-filled tires to the proper pressure. Refer to

“Tire Inflation Chart” 

on page 52.

NOTE:  

Under inflated tires can roll off of the rim. 

Maintaining air pressure within 5 psi (34 kPa) of 

maximum tire pressure reduces this risk. See 

“Tire 

Inflation Chart” 

on page 52 for recommended tire 

pressure. See tire sidewall for optimum pressure.
