Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any implement. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.

!CAUTION

For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be performed with the Ditcher lowered completely to the ground or folded with the transport boom lock engaged and the tractor engine shut off with ignition key removed.

•After using the Ditcher for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight. For corrrect torque values, refer to “Torque Values Chart For Common Bolt Size” on page 23.

•Lubricate items as listed under Lubrication, in this section, starting on page 18.

•Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer. Information about labels is located under Safety Labels in the “Important Safety Information” section starting on page 1.

Storage

For short periods, coat all exposed cylinder shafts with grease or a corrosion preventive.

Install dust caps on the quick couplers, if equipped, to prevent dirt contamination of the hydraulic system. Or, if possible, connect the quick couplers together.

At the end of the working season or when the Ditcher will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the Ditcher and any of the moving parts. It may be necessary to scrape off compacted dirt from the rotor blades, then use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the surface.

Inspect the Ditcher for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.

Lubricate as noted in the Lubrication portion of this section starting on page 18.

Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Aerosol touch-up paint is available from your Land Pride dealer. Order Land Pride part # 821-002C for Black or #821-011C for beige.

Store Ditcher in a clean, dry place.

Drive Chain Maintenance

The operator should check periodically to make sure that the drive chain is tight. If adjustment is needed refer to “Drive Chain Adjustment” on page 14.
