Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products
described in this manual.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing
work. Refer to the Operator’s Manual
for additional information.
Work on a level surface in a clean
dry area that is well-lit.
Lower attachment to the ground and
follow all shutdown procedures
before leaving the operator’s seat to
perform maintenance.
Do not work under any hydraulically
supported equipment. It can settle,
suddenly leak down, or be lowered
accidentally. If it is necessary to work
under the equipment, securely
support it with stands or suitable
blocking beforehand.
Use properly grounded electrical
outlets and tools.
Use correct tools and equipment for
the job that are in good condition.
Allow equipment to cool before
working on it.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on equipment.
Inspect all parts. Make certain that
parts are in good condition &
installed properly.
Replace parts on this attachment
with genuine Land Pride parts only.
Do not alter this attachment in a way
which will adversely affect its
performance.
Do not grease or oil attachment
while it is in operation.
Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
Always make sure any material and
waste products from the repair and
maintenance of the attachment are
properly collected and disposed.
Remove all tools and unused parts
before operation.
Tire Safety
Tire changing
can be
dangerous
and must be
performed by
trained personnel using the
correct tools and equipment.
Always properly match the wheel
size to the properly sized tire.
Always maintain correct tire
pressure. Do not inflate tires
above recommended pressures
shown in the Operator’s Manual.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on
chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to
one side and NOT in front of or
over the tire assembly. Use a
safety cage if available.
Securely support the attachment
when changing a wheel.
When removing and installing
wheels, use wheel handling
equipment adequate for the
weight involved.
Make sure wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
Transport Safely
Comply with federal, state, and
local laws.
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity. Secure
equipment towed on a trailer with
tie downs and chains.
Sudden braking can cause a towed
trailer to swerve unexpectedly.
Reduce speed if towed trailer is not
equipped with brakes.
Avoid contact with any overhead
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
Always drive with load on end of
loader arms low to the ground.
Always drive straight up and down
steep inclines with heavy end of
skid steer on the “uphill” side.
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
Maximum transport speed for an
attached equipment is 20 mph
(32 km/h). DO NOT EXCEED.
Never travel at a speed which does
not allow adequate control of
steering and stopping. Some rough
terrains require a slower speed.
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
attached equipment:
20 mph
(32 km/h) when weight
of attached equipment is less
than or equal to the weight of
machine towing the equipment.
10 mph
(16 km/h) when weight of
attached equipment exceeds
weight of machine towing
equipment but not more than
double the weight.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the vehicle towing the load.
Dig Safe - Avoid
Underground Utilities
USA: Call 811
CAN: digsafecanada.ca
Always contact your local utility
companies (electrical, telephone,
gas, water, sewer, and others)
before digging so that they may
mark the location of any
underground services in the area.
Be sure to ask how close you can
work to the marks they positioned.
