Maintenance
!
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.
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.
After using the mower for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight and check the tension of the
drive belt. Refer to Belt Tension in the “Adjustments”
section on page 16.
Lubricate items as listed under Lubrication, this
section, starting on page 20.
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
Information about labels is located under Safety Labels in
the “Important Safety Information” section starting on
page 1.
