Electrical Outlet
A 7-pin electrical outlet is required to operate the LED
lights. Refer to "Hook-up LED Lights" on page 26.
Hydraulic Outlets
Two duplex outlets are required. One to raise and lower
the cutter and one to fold the wing.
If your tractor is not equipped with two duplex outlets, an
optional control valve kit is available from your local Land
Pride dealer. Refer to "Selector Control Valve Kit" on

Before You Start

Read and understand the operator's manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
It is best to go through the "Assembly Checklist" below
before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly
task and make the job safer by having all needed parts
and equipment readily at hand.

Torque Requirements

See "Torque Values Chart" on page 59 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
"Additional Torque Values" at bottom of chart for
exceptions to common torque values.

Assembly Checklist
Check
Have a fork lift or loader with properly sized chains and
safety stands capable of lifting and supporting the
equipment on hand.
Have a minimum of two people available during
assembly.
Make sure all major components and
loose parts are shipped with the machine.
Double check to make sure all parts,
fasteners, and pins are installed in the
correct location. Refer to the Parts
Manual if unsure. By double checking,
you will lessen the chance of using a bolt
incorrectly that may be needed later.
NOTE: All assembled hardware from the
factory has been installed in the correct
location. Remember location of a part or
fastener if removed during assembly.
Keep parts separated.
Make sure working parts move freely,
bolts are tight & cotter pins are spread.
Make sure all grease fittings are in place
and lubricated.
Make sure all safety labels are correctly
located and legible. Replace if damaged.
Make sure all red and amber reflectors
are correctly located and visible when
machine is in transport position.
Make sure all tires are inflated to the
specified air pressure and all wheel bolts
and axle nuts are tightened to the
specified torque.
