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:
•
Always disconnect driveline from power take-off shaft
before servicing drivetrain and cutter blades. The power
take-off can be engaged if tractor is started.
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported 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:
Always store cutter with 3-point hitch pivoted back as far as
possible. The floating 3-point hitch when not hooked to a
tractor can fall backwards unexpectedly causing bodily injury.
1.
Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A
coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See
3. Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts, and adjust
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 decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in
starting
7.
Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 36 when
disconnecting tractor from cutter.

Ordering Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard Beige
with black highlights. This implement may also be
purchased in Orange, Green, or Red.
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.
