WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always secure the Snow Trip Blade with solid supports before
working under it. Never work under equipment supported by
hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are
actuated or if a hydraulic line burst. Either situation can drop
equipment instantly even when power to the hydraulics is off.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination. These
simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent
occurrence of hydraulic problems:
•
Replace your tractor’s hydraulic filter element at the
prescribed intervals.
•
Inspect tractor hydraulic oil level. Add oil if it is low.
•
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor.
•
Inspect quick couplers, make sure they are fully
engaged. Replace couplers if they are sized wrong.
•
Inspect hydraulic hoses and cylinder for oil leaks.
Tighten or replace components to fix leaks.
Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the attachment when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help 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 blade and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of blade and then
wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Inspect 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. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower blade
area to minimize oxidation while in storage.
6. To prevent seizing, lubricate moving parts as noted in
7.
Store blade on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer blade life.
8. Follow all unhooking instructions on page 20 when
disconnecting tractor from blade.
