Section 5: Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

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

!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.

!WARNING!

Always secure mower deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside of the mower. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the mower instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.

Frequently inspect mower for loose bolts and nuts. See “Blade Removal And Installation” on page 24 to identify left hand threaded bolts. Tighten all hardware as indicated in the “Torque Values Chart” on page 39.

Check drive belt tension after several hours of mowing. Refer to “Belt Tension” on page 21.

Lubricate components as listed under “Lubrication” starting on page 30.

Always maintain proper air pressure in the tires. Refer to “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 39.

Replace worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer. See Information about “Safety Labels”starting on page 4.

Servicing Mower Blades

Blade Inspection

!WARNING!

DO NOT attempt to modify cutting blades such as hard surfacing, heat treating, cold treating or by any other method.

!WARNING!

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.

!DANGER!

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before servicing underside of mower deck. Starting the tractor with a connected driveline can result in damage to the mower, bodily injury or death.

!CAUTION!

Wear a pair of gloves when checking blades. Avoid direct contact with cutting edge of blades.

Refer to Figure 5-1:

Blade Wear: Blade performance is reduced as blades wear and are sharpened for reuse. Excessively high wear can occur to your mower blades when mowing in sandy soil areas. Frequent inspection should be made and blades replaced if damaged.

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