General Maintenance Information
Proper servicing and adjustments are 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 Post Hole Digger have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine
Land Pride parts. Do not alter the digger in a way which
will adversely affect its performance.

Daily Inspections
1.
Check all bolts after using unit for several hours to beÂ
sure they are tight.Â
2.
After each use, inspect auger for loose, worn, orÂ
damaged auger teeth, tip, flighting, and gearboxÂ
output shaft bolts and nuts.
3.
Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting edges digÂ
easier and better.

on page 33 for detailedÂ
instructions.
5.
Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safetyÂ
labels by obtaining new labels from your Land PrideÂ

Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs toÂ
the digger when storing it for long periods and whenÂ
storing it at the end of a working season. This will helpÂ
ensure the digger is ready for field use the next time youÂ
hook-up to it.
1.
Remove any dirt and grease that may haveÂ
accumulated on the digger and moving parts. ScrapeÂ
off compacted dirt and wash surface thoroughly with aÂ
garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied toÂ
the lower auger to minimize oxidation.
2.
Check auger teeth and bolts for wear and replace ifÂ
necessary. SeeÂ
3.
Inspect for loose, damaged, broken or worn partsÂ

prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosolÂ
touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-upÂ
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by addingÂ
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
