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.

The tractor

MUST

be equipped with protective equipment

designed to shield the operator from thrown objects and
from tractor roll over. An enclosed tractor cab with a Roll
Over Protective Structure (ROPS) may qualify. See
tractor’s manual for type of protection your tractor has.

Torque Requirements

Refer to

“Torque Values Chart”

on page 28 to

determine correct torque values for common bolts.

Dealer Preparations

This Grooming Mower has been partially assembled at
the factory. Some assembly and preparation are still
required before the mower is ready for operation and can
be attached to the customer tractor.

Make sure that the intended tractor conforms to the
Tractor Requirements stated above. Also, read and
understand the Operator’s Manual for this Grooming
Mower. An understanding of how it works will aid in its’
assembly and setup.

Go through the

Pre-Assembly Checklist

before

assembling the mower. To speed up your assembly task
and make the job safer, have all needed parts and
equipment readily at hand.

Operator’s Manual. Remove temporary solid plug from
top of gearbox and replace with vented dipstick. See your
nearest Land Pride dealer if dipstick is missing.

IMPORTANT:

Gearboxes are shipped with solid

plugs in them to prevent oil loss during shipping and
handling. The solid plug on top of the gearbox must
