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.
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the cutter when parking it for long periods and at end of
working season. This will help ensure the cutter is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
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. Replace if needed.

3. Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts. Adjust or
replace parts as needed.

prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol

bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.

Order 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.

then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
