WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not raise center of lower 3-point hitch pins more than
14" above ground with power take-off engaged. Do not
engage power take-off if hitch pins are higher than 14"
above ground. If tiller is raised too high, the driveline can
break causing flying projectiles.
•
Always follow "Tractor Shutdown Procedure" provided in
this manual before dismounting the tractor.
•
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. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
