CAUTION
WARNING
Stop IMMEDIATELY upon striking an
obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key,
inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation. Never leave the seat of
the tractor while engine is engaged.
Watch for hidden obstructions, like buried
pipes, rocks, concrete piers or uneven slabs
of concrete when operating the Land Plane
as damage to the unit can occur. This is
especially true with snow removal.
Transportation
Guidelines
Unit should be lifted as high as the tractor will
allow being sure the unit is clear of the ground
when transporting.
Care should be taken that at least 20% of tractor
weight should be on the front tires. A safe speed
should be maintained during transportation.
Tractor weight ballast may be needed to even out
weight to maintain proper steering.
Do
NOT
lower unit to pavement, blacktop or
gravel road while transporting. Damage to the unit
can occur.
When transporting on roadways always use a
Safety Sign, and drive in a manner to allow other
vehicles to pass you safely.
When traveling on public roads, whether at
night or during the day, use accessory lights
and devices for adequate warning to operators
of other vehicles. Comply with all federal,
state, and local laws.
Maintenance
Before servicing the Land Plane, engage the
parking break or place the transmission in
“PARK”, shut off tractor, and remove key.
1. Make certain any safety and instruction decals
are attached to the Land Plane 3-Point hitch. If
they are lost, damaged, or painted over, order
replacements from Behlen Country at 1-800-
447-2751.
2. Clean unit of dirt and debris to minimize rusting
and wear.
3. Keep cutting edges sharp. Sharp cutting edges
work easier and better. Check more often if
working in rocky soil conditions.
5. Replace any worn or damaged parts
immediately.
6. Check all bolts and nuts to make sure they are
tight.
7.
NEVER
go underneath equipment. Never place
any part of the body underneath equipment or
between movable parts even when the engine
is turned off. Servicing this Land Plane does
not require going underneath.
Replacing Cutting Edge
To service the Land Plane when attached to the
tractor, it must be blocked off the ground.
1. Place two 4” x 4” blocks under each side frame
of the Land Plane.
2. Lower Land Plane to rest securely on the
blocks.
3. Remove the lock nuts and plow nuts from the
blade. Turn cutting edge over and use new
edge, or replace it if both sides have been
used.
4. Reattach cutting edge to Land Plane and
secure with plow bolts and hex nuts previously
removed, and tighten.
