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 to ensure the unit is
ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Before parking or servicing ditcher, always secure unit in the
upright position with parking stands and wire snap lock pins.
Not locking parking stands with wire snap lock pins can result
in the ditcher falling and causing a serious injury or death.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the ditcher and moving parts. It may
be necessary to scrape off compacted dirt from the
impeller blades; then use a garden hose to
thoroughly clean the surfaces.
2.
Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace
as needed.
3.
Inspect ditcher for loose, damaged, or worn parts.
Adjust and tighten loose parts 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 guards and decals.
6.
Lubricate as noted in
7.
Apply a light coat of oil or grease may be applied to
the blades and to any exposed hydraulic cylinder
rods to minimize oxidation.

Store ditcher on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer ditcher life.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement is also available in
Orange.
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.
