Make the following inspections with cutter attached to a 
tractor, PTO disengaged, and all moving components 
completely stopped:

1.

Park tractor and cutter on a level surface. 

2.

Disengage PTO, place gear selector in park, set park 
brake, shut tractor off, and remove switch key. Make 
sure cutter blades have come to a complete stop 
before dismounting from tractor. 

3.

Inspect tractor safety equipment to make sure it is 
installed and in good working condition.

4.

Inspect cutter safety equipment to make sure it is 
installed and in good working condition. 

5.

Check driveline to make certain it is securely 
connected to the tractor PTO shaft and cutter 
gearbox shaft. Also, make certain that the guards are 
in good working condition and in place.

6.

Carefully raise and lower implement to ensure that 
the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor 
do not contact cutter frame or driveline. 

7.

Check all hoses and wires to be sure that they will not 
come in contact with rotating driveline.

8.

With cutter resting on solid supports, PTO 
disengaged, and blade rotation completely stopped:

Check for and remove foreign objects wrapped 
around blade spindles.

Check for nicked, bent, broken, and worn cutting 
blades. Replace or sharpen blades as required. 
Refer to “Cutter Blade Maintenance” on page 43.

9.

Inspect Hydraulic hoses for wear, damage and 
hydraulic leaks. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids 
Hazard” on page 3. Replace damaged and worn 
hoses with genuine Land Pride parts.
