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 shaft and
support mower decks in the raised position with support jacks
before servicing underside of mower deck. Starting tractor
with a connected driveline can result in damage to the mower,
bodily injury, or death.
1. Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the mower and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck
and then wash 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 for wear and replace or sharpen as
needed. Refer to “Blade Sharpening” on page 28.
3. Inspect mower for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4. Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting
on page 31.
5. A light coat of oil or grease may be applied to the
deck and to any exposed hydraulic cylinder rods to
minimize oxidation.
6. Release spring tension from drive belt. Refer to
“Blade Removal & Installation” on page 27.
7. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your dealer for Land Pride aerosol
touch-up paint. They 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.
8. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
9. Store mower on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer mower life.
10. Store driveline end off the ground.

Tires With Air Pressure
Tire Sealant: Heavy Duty tire sealant has been added in
air tires to help reduce air loss from punctures due to
nails/thorns etc. See tire sidewall for optimum tire
pressure.
NOTE: Under inflated tires can roll off of rim.
Maintaining air pressure within 5 PSI of maximum
tire pressure reduces the risk of tires rolling off of
rim.
