Maintenance

!WARNING!

Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to mower. Place control levers in the neutral position, disengage blade engagement, and remove ignition switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area. Read and observe safety warnings in front of manual.

!DANGER!

Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and remove ignition switch key for maximum safety. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and under the seat platform area; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.

Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has high moisture content. This build- up will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality of cutting. Therefore it should be removed routinely.

To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck in the full up position and scrape the build-up from underneath.

Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Land Pride dealer when assistance is needed.

!DANGER!

Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wearing gloves is advisable when working around or with the blades.

!WARNING!

Except when changing or checking belt, always keep belt covers on mower for safety as well as cleanliness.

!WARNING!

When possible, clean under mower using a stick or similar instrument making sure that no part of the body, especially arms and hands are under mower.

Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following pages contain suggested maintenance information and schedules which the operator should follow on a routine basis.

Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.

!WARNING!

Keep your machine clean and remove any deposits of trash and clippings which can cause engine fires and hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear.

!WARNING!

Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug nuts and blade spindle nuts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can cause serious damage or personal injury.

Torque Values

	FT - lbs.	Nm
Wheel lug nuts	65 - 75	88.14 - 101.7
Wheel motor nut	290-310	393.2 - 420.4
Blade spindle bolts (top	118	160.01
and bottom)

It is recommended that these be checked after the first 2 hours of initial operation and every 50 hours following removal for repair or replacement.

For all other torques refer to “Torque Values Chart” page 39.

For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.

Tires

It is important for level mowing that the tires have the same amount of air pressure.
