Hydraulic Maintenance
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your Skid
Steer reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your Skid Steer. Replace the filter element for
your Skid Steer’s hydraulic system at the prescribed
intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way
to prevent occurrence of hydraulic problems.
Storage
!
CAUTION
Store cutter with hitch plate in the upright position. A hitch
plate that is stored folded down against the deck can tip up
easily resulting in serious injury to the body.
!
DANGER
Do not modify the Rotary Cutter without authorization from
Land Pride. Unauthorized modifications to the cutter can
result in the cutter not performing properly and/or in serious
injury or death.
Clean the Rotary Cutter at the end of the working season
or when the cutter will not be used for a long period.
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck
area to minimize oxidation.
2. Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on
page 23.
3. Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
4. Lubricate as noted in the Lubrication portion of this
section starting on page 26.
5. Store the Rotary Cutter in a clean, dry place. The
deck should be positioned on a flat surface to suitable
Skid Steer hook-up height. Ensure that the main
frame is stable. Use auxiliary supports or posts if
necessary to prevent the possibility of the unit tipping
over. Store hitch in the upright position.
6. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Aerosol Land Pride
touch-up paint.
