Hydraulic System
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure your tractor's
hydraulic reservoir remains free of dirt and other
contaminations.
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends clean before
attaching them to your tractor. Replace tractor hydraulic
filter element at the prescribed intervals. These simple
maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of
control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses,
fittings and cylinders before each use of the snow blower.
Replace damaged components as needed. Order only
genuine Great Plains parts from your local Great Plains
dealer.
Long Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the attachment when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help ensure the unit is ready
for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always disconnect driveline from tractor power take-off
before servicing drive train components or underside of
unit. Snow Blower can be engaged if tractor is started
causing bodily injury or death.
•
Always secure Snow Blower in the up position with solid
supports before servicing underside of Snow Blower. 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 Snow Blower
instantly even when power to hydraulics is shut off.
1. Clean off any dirt, salt, or grease that may have
accumulated on the Snow Blower and moving parts.
Then wash surface thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Check impeller, auger, wear bars, and skid shoes for
wear and cracks. Repair or replace if necessary. See
3. Inspect for loose, damaged, or worn parts. Make
adjustments, repairs, and/or replace as needed.
4. 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.
5. Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6. Lubricate as noted in
7.
Apply a coating of oil to the areas without paint due to
high wear to minimize oxidation.
8. Store Snow Blower on a level surface in a clean, dry
place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and
make for a longer Snow Blower life.

Order Replacement Parts
Land Pride offers equipment in factory standard beige
with black highlights. Equipment may also be purchased
in orange. Special attention must be given to the part
number to prevent ordering the wrong color. A suffix
number corresponding to one of the colors below must be
added at the end of the part number. Parts ordered
without the suffix number will be supplied in factory
standard colors.
For example, if you are ordering a replacement part with
part number 555-555C and the existing part is orange,
then add the suffix 82 to the end of the number to make
the part number read 555-55C82.
