WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Select a safe ground speed that will allow adequate control
of steering and stopping. Never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h)
with attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower
speed.
•
When traveling on public roads, use LED lights, slow
moving vehicle sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate
devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your
presence. If implement blocks visibility of slow moving
vehicle sign, relocate sign so it is visible from the back at all
times. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.
•
Reduce ground speed when turning and leave enough
clearance to avoid making contact with obstacles such as
buildings, trees, fences, etc.
•
Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain. Shift
to a lower gear to maintain engine rpm while traveling
slower.
•
Operate only power machines equipped with a certified
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep
folding ROPS in the "locked up" position when
appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat
belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious
injury or death from falling and machine overturn.
•
When implement is wider than the tractor, take care to make
sure it does not make contact with oncoming traffic and
roadside obstructions.
•
Always disengage tractor PTO before raising mower decks
to transport position to avoid power train damage, injury
from thrown objects, or blade contact.
1. Refer to Figure 3-8: Relocate slow moving vehicle
Safety sign (#1) from back of your tractor to mounting
bracket (#2) on the back of the mower. If needed, the
slow moving vehicle sign can be purchased from
your nearest Land Pride dealer. Refer to "Slow
Moving Vehicle Sign (Accessory)" on page 34.
2. Select a safe ground speed when transporting from
one area to another. Maximum transport speed for
the All-Flex Mowers is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED.
3. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning
and leave enough clearance so the mower does not
contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
4. Always raise wings and set transport locks before
traveling on public roadways.
5. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. Use
LED lights on the mower to make yourself more
visible on roadways.
6. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.

Constant Velocity Driveline Angle
Refer to Figure 3-9:
The main driveline is equipped with a constant velocity
(CV) joint that allows the unit to run at angles up to
80 degrees with no vibration.
19626
IMPORTANT: Do not make turns that will subject the
CV joint to angles greater than 80 degrees. Angles
greater than 80 degrees will damage the driveline.
The constant velocity joint must be greased every 8
hours of operation. Refer to Page 41 "Driveline
Constant Velocity Shaft".
