Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts after using unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Land Pride dealer.
The parts on your Rear Blade have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land
Pride parts. Do not alter blade in a way which will
adversely affect its performance.

!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always check all blade hardware for tightness before moving
or working around the unit. Make sure moldboard pivot and
tilt retaining hardware is tightened to the correct torque. The
moldboard can fall from the its pivot mount or tilt mount if
retaining hardware is loose or missing.

surfaces thoroughly with a garden hose.

hardware. Adjust or replace parts as needed with

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.
