Hydraulic Outlets
Depending on purchased fold option, two to three duplex
outlets are required. Two outlets are needed when
choosing a fold option where the wings fold
simultaneously. Three outlets are needed when choosing
a fold option where the wings fold independently.
Land Pride highly recommends connecting the wing fold
hose(s) to a duplex outlet with float capabilities and use
the float when in field operation.
If the tractor does not have the necessary number of
duplex outlets, a control valve kit is available for adding
an outlet. See "Hydraulic Accessories" on page 41 for a
complete description of this kit.
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 "Pre-Assembly Checklist" on
this page 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 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 pneumatic tires are properly
inflated and all wheel bolts and axle nuts are
tightened to the specified torque.
