Slip Clutch Maintenance
Refer to Figure 4-1:
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
Slip clutches that have been in use or have been slipped for
only two or three seconds during run-in may be too hot to
touch. Allow a hot clutch to cool before working on it.
The Powered Rake drive components are protected from
shock loads by a friction slip clutch. The clutch must be
capable of slippage during operation to protect the
gearbox, driveline, and other drive train parts. Friction
clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial operation and
after long periods of inactivity to remove any oxidation
that may have accumulated on the friction surfaces.
Repeat “run-in” instructions at the beginning of each
season and when moisture and/or condensation seizes
the inner friction plates.
The Powered Rake will have one of two slip clutches.
Refer to Figure 4-1 to determine which slip clutch your
Powered Rake has (Type A or B). Follow run-in and
assembly instructions for your particular slip clutch.

Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life
of any implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time, and
repair.
After using your Powered Rake for several hours, check
all bolts to be sure they are tight. Replace any worn,
damaged, or illegible safety labels by obtaining new
labels from your Land Pride dealer.

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:
•
Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose
hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,
and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting implement
back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury
•

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 to avoid serious injury and
•
Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire
hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level to avoid serious
IMPORTANT:
If chaincase and/or sprocket shafts
