Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
!CAUTION
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be performed with tractor PTO disengaged, the mower lowered completely to the ground and the tractor engine shut off with ignition key removed.
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 the mower for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight and check the tension of the drive belt. Refer to Belt Tension in the “Adjustments” section on page 16.
•Lubricate items as listed under Lubrication, this section, starting on page 20.
•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.
