Maintenance
Regular scheduled maintenance is the best prevention
for costly downtime and expensive, premature repair.
Correct problems as quickly as possible. The following
pages contain suggested maintenance information and
schedules to follow routinely.
Check initially and periodically for loose bolts and pins.
Torque loose bolts per the “Torque Values Chart” on
page 57. Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be
signaling a problem. Visually inspect machine for any
abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect
potential problems is while performing scheduled
maintenance. Correcting problems as quickly as possible
is the best insurance.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil, and dirt,
especially around the engine and under the seat
platform. Minute dust particles are abrasive to
close-tolerance engines and hydraulic assemblies.
Inspect mower daily for grass clippings, tangled wire and
string. The underside of the mower deck will collect a
build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when
grass is wet or has high moisture content. This build-up
will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will
usually produce a poor quality of cutting. Therefore,
debris should be routinely removed from under the deck.
To do this, it will be necessary to raise and block the deck
in the full up position before scrapping build-up from
underneath.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled
personnel. Consult your Land Pride dealer when
assistance is needed.

engagement switch has been shut off, deck has been properly
blocked up, engine has been shut off, and ignition switch key
