Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, costly maintenance, time and repair can be
avoided.
!
CAUTION
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be
performed with tractor PTO disengaged, mower lowered
completely to ground and tractor engine shut off with ignition
key removed.
• After using the mower for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight and check drive belt tension.
Refer to "Belt Tension Adjustment" on page 15.
• Lubricate components as listed under "Lubrication" on
page 18.
• 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” on
page 4.
Trash Removal & Rotor Knife Access
Refer to Figure 4-1 & Figure 4-2:
The rotor knives and trash accumulated around them
can be accessed by opening the rear cover (#2).
1. Unscrew cover locking handles (#1) located on both
sides.
2. Raise rear cover (#2) up as shown.
3. Replace locking handle in cover open location (#3) to
secure cover in the up position.
4. Return cover to the closed position after servicing
rotor knives and cleaning out trash.
Rotor Knife Replacement
Frequently check rotor knives to make sure they are in
good working condition and properly secured to the rotor.
Replace worn or damaged knives with new knives.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the replacement knife is
the same length as the others on the mower. This
will keep the rotor rotation balanced.
IMPORTANT: Replace cutting knives with Land
Pride fine cutting knives or hammer knives only.
