OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Wheel Bearing Maintenance
Wheel bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the wheel
bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the hub cap, cotter pin, slotted nut and
washer.
3. Remove the hub. Clean and inspect the bearings and
hub cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
4. Repack the bearings using a high-quality wheel
bearing grease.
5. Replace the hub with a new seal and the inner
bearing in place.
6. Install the outer bearing cone, washer and slotted
nut.
7. Tighten the slotted nut while rotating the hub until
there is a slight resistance to wheel rotation. Then,
back the slotted nut off one notch, until the wheel
rotates freely without end play.
8. Install a new cotter pin and replace the hub cap.
Hydraulic Maintenance
1. Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level per tractor
owners manual and after any leakage. Check fluid
level with the cylinders in the retracted position.
2. If a cylinder or valve leaks, disassemble the parts to
determine the cause of the leak. Any time a cylinder
is opened up, or whenever any seal replacement is
necessary, it is advisable to clean all parts and
replace all seals. Seal kits are available from your
Landoll dealer.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses weekly. Look for binding or
cracking. Replace all worn or defective parts
immediately.
Transport
1. Raise the unit to full transport height.
2. Fold the wings and install the wing lock pins (See
Figure 4-2.)
3. Place the transport lock brackets on the rods of the
lift cylinders on the main frame and pin in place (See
Figure 4-9.)
