Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication
Maintenance
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.
Check all bolts after using the unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Land Pride Dealer.
The parts on your Flail Mower have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land
Pride parts. Do not alter the mower in a way which will
adversely affect its performance.

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.
