DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking 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 avoid serious injury or death:
•
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
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
•
Always shut tractor down according to "Tractor Shutdown
Procedure" provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook up or unhook the implement.
NOTE: Land Pride's Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment to the FDR1660 & FDR1672
models only. See your nearest Land Pride dealer to
purchase a quick-hitch.
A 3-point Category I hitch is required. The lower
3-point arms must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side
movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable
chains for this purpose.
1. Be certain tractor draw bar will not interfere. Move
draw bar ahead or remove if required. Draw bar
should also be checked for clearance when unit is
being raised for the first time with driveline installed.
2. Slowly back tractor up to the Grooming Mower while
using 3-point hydraulic control to align hitch holes in
lower 3-point lift arms with holes in hitch clevis (#3).

Quick Hitch Hook-up

Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Attach lower 3-point hitch clevis (#1) to the two upper
holes "A" and "B" above floating slots. The position of
the lower 3-point hitch clevis depends on the tractor
and tractor tires.
NOTE: This will lock the lower 3-point arms into
position. Use 3-point tractor float instead.
2. Attach the rear braces (#2) as follows:
a. If lower hitch clevis holes "A" and "B" are attached
to the deck, attach rear braces (#2) to hole "E".
b. If lower hitch clevis holes "B" and "C" are attached
to the deck, attach rear braces (#2) to hole "F" .
