Tire Maintenance

WARNING

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by
trained personnel using correct tools and equipment. When
removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the weight involved.

WARNING

Always release all air pressure in air-filled airplane tires
before removing hardware bolting their split rims together.
Not doing so can cause the split rims to blow apart instantly
and could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front
of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available. Do
not overinflate tires.

WARNING

Do not weld on or heat a rim. If a tire is mounted to the rim,
air pressure inside the tire can increase enough to cause an
explosion. High heat can also weaken and/or warp the rim,
damage the tire, and destroy foam filling inside a tire.

Air Filled Airplane Tires with Split Rims

Figure 5-12

Check tires for low air pressure, missing nuts,
missing lug bolts, wear, separated rubber, and bent,
broken, or cracked wheel rims.

Inflate air filled tires to the proper pressure. Refer to
“Tire Inflation Chart” on page 56.

Refer to Figure 5-12:
3.

Replace wheel rims and tires as needed with
genuine Land Pride parts. Do not loosen split rim
hardware (#1) until all air pressure in the tire has
been removed.

Long-term Storage

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the cutter when parking it for long periods and when
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure the cuter is ready for field use the next time you
hook-up to it.

DANGER

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before
servicing underside of cutter. PTO can be engaged if tractor is
started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

DANGER

Always secure cutter deck in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter. Never work
under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can
drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines
burst. Either situation can drop the cutter instantly even when
power to the hydraulics is shut off.

Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts. Scrape
off compacted dirt from the bottom of 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.

Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if
necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on
page 38.

Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.

Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. Paint is 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.

Replace all damaged or missing guarding & decals.

Lubricate as noted in “Lubrication Points” starting
on page 46.

Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for
a longer cutter life.

Follow “Unhook Rotary Cutter” instructions on
page 22 when disconnecting tractor from cutter.
