General Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life
of any attachment. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts and pins after using the attachment for
several hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure
they are tight and secured. Tighten all loose hardware as
indicated in the
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 32.
Replace worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.
DANGER

power machine shutdown before anyone is allowed to clean
•
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.

Hydraulic System
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin or
eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure your tractor's
hydraulic reservoir remains free of dirt and other
contaminations.
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends clean before
attaching them to your tractor. Replace tractor hydraulic
filter element at the prescribed intervals. These simple
maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of
control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses,
fittings and cylinders before each use of the cutter.
Replace damaged components as needed. Order only
genuine Land Pride parts from your local Land Pride
dealer.
Daily Inspections
1. Inspect auger point and teeth for wear and loose fit.
Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting edges dig
easier and better.
2. Inspect auger flighting for wear, bend, and cracks.
3. Inspect auger mounting hardware for wear, bend,
and loose fit.
4. Inspect all connecting pins and hardware for wear,
bend, and loose fit.
5. Inspect output shaft for bend and wear.
6. Replace all worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels
by obtaining new labels from your nearest Land Pride
dealer.
