Introduction

!WARNING!

Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to the mower. Place control levers in the park brake position and remove ignition switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area. Read and observe safety warnings in front of manual.

Your Razor Pro was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre-delivery set-up. However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change.

Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.

!WARNING!

Keep your machine clean and remove heavy deposits of trash and clippings. They can cause engine fires and hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the area of oil, fuel and engine combustion air; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.

Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Land Pride service center when assistance is needed.

Torque Values

!WARNING!

Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug nuts and blade spindle bolts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can cause serious damage or personal injury.

Torque Values

	FT - lbs.	N-m
Wheel lug nuts	65 - 75	88.14 - 101.7
Wheel motor nut	290-310	393.2 - 420.4
Blade spindle bolts (top	118	160.01
and bottom)

It is recommended that the following be checked after the first 2 hours of initial operation, and every 50 hours following removal for repair or replacement:

•Wheel lug nuts

•Wheel motor nut

•Blade spindle bolts (top and bottom)

•For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.

•For all other torques refer to Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes on page 39.

Steering Linkage

Refer to Figure 3-1

The neutral adjustment for the control levers in the neutral position is discussed in this section.

The steering has been factory adjusted to eliminate creeping when the control levers are in neutral position.
