Maintenance
General
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Read and obey all safety labels on the Skid Steer Auger.
Securely block raised equipment before working under or
around it. Do not allow anyone to operate or perform
maintenance on this implement who has not been
properly trained in its safe operation. Do not alter the
equipment in a way which will adversely affect its
performance or reliability, or for a purpose the product is
not designed.
!
DANGER
Keep all persons away from rotating auger. Contact with
rotating parts may cause serious injury or death. Keep all
shields in place and secure when operating.
!
WARNING
Stop engine, engage parking brake, raise seat bar, move
controls until both are locked, and remove key to prevent
unauthorized starting before performing maintenance on the
auger. Use steps, grab-handles, and skid-resistant surfaces
when getting on or off the loader.
!
WARNING
Always secure Skid Steer Auger with solid supports before
servicing. Never work under equipment supported by
hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are
actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop
the auger instantly even when power is shut off.
!
WARNING
Keep all hardware properly torqued tight. Loose components
and hardware can break sending flying pieces in the direction
of the operator and others that may be close-by.
Daily Inspections
1. Inspect auger point and teeth for wear and loose fit.
Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting edges dig
easier and better.
2. Inspect flighting for wear, bend, and cracks.
3. Inspect auger mounting hardware for wear, bend,
and loose fit.
4. Inspect all connecting pins and hardware for wear,
bend, and loose fit.
5. Inspect out put shaft for bend and wear.
6. Check gearbox fluid level periodically. If fluid is
required refer to the Gear Lube Fluid Level
lubrication illustration that follows.
7. Replace all worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels
by obtaining new labels from your nearest Land
Pride dealer.
Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the Skid Steer Auger when parking it for long periods and
when parking it at the end of a working season. This will
help ensure the auger is ready for field use the next time
you hook-up to it.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the unit and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt and then wash surfaces thoroughly
with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be
applied to the spiral flights to minimize oxidation.
2. Inspect unit for loose, damaged, or worn parts and
adjust or replace as needed.
3. Lubricate as noted on page 16.
4. Store unit on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Be
sure unit is properly supported so as not to fall on any
one during storage.
5. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride touch-up
paint. They are available in aerosol spray cans,
touch-up bottles, quarts, and gallon sizes
6. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
