DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will increase
strain on the tractor's power take-off shaft causing possible
damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose
of the tractor's power take-off shield.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Power take-off and/or driveline damage may occur if
distances "A" and "B" are not properly maintained.
Maintain proper distance, dimension "A" , between center
of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor power take-off
shaft.

Table of Contents
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
page 40 for information about the hydraulic kit.
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.
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 before
assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and
make the job safer by having all needed parts and
equipment readily at hand.
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
B
and lubricated.
Make sure all safety labels are correctly
located and legible. Replace if damaged.
C
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 psi air pressure and all wheel
bolts and axle nuts are tightened to the
specified torque.
