Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment can increase the life of
any implement. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.
!
CAUTION!
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be
performed with the backhoe lowered completely to the ground
or folded with the transport boom lock engaged and the tractor
engine shut off with ignition key removed.
•
After using the backhoe for several hours, check all
bolts to be sure they are tight.
•
Lubricate items as listed under Lubrication, this
section, starting on page 22.
•
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
Information about labels is located under Safety Labels in
the “Important Safety Information” section starting on
page 1.
Storage
For short periods coat all exposed cylinder shafts with
grease or a corrosion preventive.
Install dust caps on the quick couplers, if equipped, to
prevent dirt contamination of the hydraulic system. Or, if
possible, connect the quick couplers together.
At the end of the working season or when the backhoe
will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to
clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated
on the backhoe and any of the moving parts. It may be
necessary to scrape off compacted dirt from the bucket,
then use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the surface.
Inspect the backhoe for loose, damaged or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed.
Lubricate as noted in the Lubrication portion of this
section starting on page 22.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent
rust. Aerosol touch-up paint is available from your Land
Pride dealer. Order Land Pride part # 821-002C for
Black.
Store backhoe in a clean, dry place.
