Storage
It is good practice to clean off any dirt and grease that
may have accumulated on the mower and to inspect and
make necessary repairs before parking the unit at the
end of the working season and for long periods. This will
help ensure that the mower will be ready for field use the
next time you hook-up to it.
!
DANGER
Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO and
secure mower in the up position with solid supports before
servicing underside of the mower.
1. Remove any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the mower and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt from under the hood and
then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose.
2. Check rotor knives and knife bolts for wear and
replace if necessary. See “Rotor Knife
Replacement” on page 19.
3. Inspect mower for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride aerosol
touch-up paint #821-011C. It are also available in
touch-up bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes
by adding TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part
number.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. A light coat of oil or grease may also be applied to
areas where paint has worn off to minimize oxidation.
7. Lubricate as noted under “Lubrication Points” on
page 21.
8. Store mower on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer mower life. Position the unit on a flat surface
with jack stands lowered to a suitable 3-Point height.
Ensure that the main frame is stable.
9. Store driveline end off the ground.
