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.
After using your QH05, QH16, QH20 or QH30 Quick
Hitch 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.
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 with genuine OEM parts.
•
Make sure controls are all in neutral position or park before
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.
1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the hitch and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt and then wash surface thoroughly
with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be
applied to unpainted area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
3. 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.
4. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
5. Lubricate as noted under
below.
6. Store Quick Hitch on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer hitch life.
