Maintenance and Lubrication
Servicing Mower Blades
Blade Inspection
Refer to Refer to Figure 4-1:
Blade Wear: As blades wear and are sharpened, the
blade performance will be reduced.
Bent, Deformed or Split Blades should be removed from
unit and discarded. DO NOT attempt to straighten for
reuse.
!
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to modify blade, such as hard surfacing, heat
or cold treating and/or by any other method.
!
WARNING!
DO NOT try to straighten a blade that is bent. Never weld a
broken or cracked blade. ALWAYS replace with a new Land
Pride blade to assure safety.
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any machinery. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.
!
CAUTION!
For safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be
performed with tractor PTO disengaged, the mower lowered
completely to the ground or folded with the transport locks
engaged and the tractor engine shut off with ignition key
removed.
•
After using the mower for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
•
Also check drive belt tension after several hour of
mowing. Refer to Belt Tension in the “Adjustments”
section on page 20.
•
Lubricate items as listed under Lubrication, this
section, starting on page 23.
•
Always maintain the proper air pressure in the tires.
The Tire Inflation Chart is located in the “Appendix”
section on page 46.
•
Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
Information about labels is located under Safety Labels in
the “Important Safety Information” section starting on
