Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication

Land Pride

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.

After using your Grooming Mower for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.

!CAUTION

For Safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be performed with the tractor’s PTO disengaged, the mower lowered completely, tractor engine shut off and ignition key removed.

General Maintenance

Blade Inspection

Refer to Figure 4-1:

NOTE: Blade Wear: As blades wear and are sharpened, the blade performance will be reduced.

!DANGER

Bent, Deformed or Split Blades: Should be removed from unit and discarded. DO NOT attempt to straighten for reuse.

!WARNING

DO NOT attempt to modify blade, such as hard surfacing, heat or cold treating and/or by any other method.

!DANGER

DO NOT try to straighten a blade that is bent. Never weld a broken or cracked blade. ALWAYS replace with a new Land Pride blade to assure safety.

Blade Sharpening

IMPORTANT: Always install blade with the cutting edge facing direction of rotation.

IMPORTANT: Replace blades with Land Pride blades only.

!CAUTION

ALWAYS wear eye protection and gloves when sharpening a blade.

2.Clean blade, blade washer and mounting surface of all debris before replacing or sharpening.
