DANGER
To prevent serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while Connecting and disconnecting
the implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-
up to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do
not operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is
directly behind the power machine or near the implement.
!
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Always follow "Tractor Shutdown Procedure" provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine
weight requirements and maximum limitations.
•
Do not raise center of lower 3-point hitch pins more than
28 1/2" (72 cm) above ground with power take-off engaged.
Do not engage power take-off if hitch pins are too high. A
rotating driveline must not exceeds an angle of 25 degrees
up or down. If it does, it can break and throw off projectiles.
•
An unsupported parked tiller can tip over easily. Always
use its park stand and when needed, non-concrete support
blocks to keep the tiller from tipping onto a person.
NOTE: Land Pride's Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. An additional driveline may be
required if a Quick Hitch is used. See your nearest
Land Pride dealer to purchase a Quick Hitch.

hitch pin lift height at 28 1/2" (72 cm). If the lever does
not have a lift height limiter, make a mark with tape or
other means to indicate maximum lift height.
