Storage

It is good practice to clean, inspect, service and make necessary repairs to the cutter when parking it for long periods and when parking it at the end of a working season. This will help ensure the cuter is ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

!DANGER!

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and secure cutter deck in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside of the cutter.

1.Clean off any dirt and grease that may have accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck area to minimize oxidation.

2.See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 24. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if necessary.

3.Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

4.Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting on page 30.

5.Replace all damaged or missing decals.

6.Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer cutter life.

7.Follow all unhooking instructions on page 15 when disconnecting tractor from cutter.

8.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride touch-up paint. They are also available in touch-up bottles with brush, quarts and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT or GL to the end of the Aerosol part number.
