Storage

At the end of the working season or when the mower 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 mower and any of the moving parts. It may be necessary to scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck, then use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the surface.

Check the blades for wear and replace, or sharpen, if necessary, refer to “Blade Sharpening”, this section, on page 25.

Inspect the mower 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 23.

Release spring tension from drive belt, refer to “Blade Removal And Installation” on page 24.

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 #821-011C for Buckskin or 821-002C for Black.

Store mower in a clean, dry place.
