Section 1: Assembly & Set-up

The right angle gearbox is shipped with vented breather 
plug factory installed. The other gearbox is shipped with 
vented breather plug packaged with the Operator’s 
Manual in the manual tube. Remove temporary solid plug 
from top of gearbox and replace with vented breather 
plug. See your nearest Land Pride dealer if breather plug 
is missing. 

IMPORTANT:  Rotary Cutters are shipped with a 
solid plug in the gearbox to prevent loss of oil during 
shipping and handling. The solid plug on top of the 
gearbox must be replaced with a vented dipstick. Do 
not operate cutter without vented dipstick installed.
