Important Safety Information
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use A Safety Chain
A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the towed
implement.
Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
Always hitch the implement to the
machine towing it. Do not use the
safety chain tow the implement.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be performed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
Always maintain correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate tires
above recommended pressures
shown in the Operator's Manual.
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.
Securely support the implement
when changing a wheel.
When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Make sure wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.

Transport Safely
Comply with state and local laws.
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity. Secure
equipment towed on a trailer with
tie downs and chains.
Sudden braking can cause a towed
trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if towed trailer is not
equipped with brakes.
Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
Always drive with load on end of
loader arms low to the ground.
Always drive straight up and down
steep inclines with heavy end of a
tractor with loader attachment on
the "uphill" side.
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing
work. Refer to the Operator's
Manual for additional information.
Work on a level surface in a clean
dry area that is well-lit.
Use properly grounded electrical
outlets and tools.
Use correct tools and equipment for
the job that are in good condition.
Lower implement to the ground and
follow all shutdown procedures
before leaving the operator's seat to
perform maintenance.
Allow equipment to cool before
working on it.
Maximum transport speed for an
attached equipment is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
attached equipment:
20 mph when weight of attached
equipment is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the equipment.
10 mph when weight of attached
equipment exceeds weight of
machine towing equipment but
not more than double the weight.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the vehicle towing the load.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on implement.
Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
Inspect all parts. Make certain
parts are in good condition &
installed properly.
Replace parts on this implement
with genuine Land Pride parts only.
Do not alter this implement in a way
which will adversely affect its
performance.
Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
Remove all tools and unused parts
from equipment before operation.
