Driveline Hook-up to Tractor
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or
unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become
•
Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and
gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles
•
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will
increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always disengage power take-off, put tractor in park or set
park brake, shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and
wait for blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting
CAUTION
!
To avoid minor or moderate injury:
•
Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.
Be certain your tractor’s power take-off is set at the
implement’s rated power take-off speed or equipment
breakage may result. RC models are rated for 540 rpm and
RCM models are rated for 1000 rpm.
•
Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each
end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to
rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and
bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.
1.
If needed, collapse driveline (#3) by pushing tractor
end of driveline against splitter gearbox.
2. Pull back on yoke locking collar (#4) and slide yoke
onto tractor power take-off shaft.
3. Release locking collar (#4) and continue to push
outer yoke onto tractor power take-off shaft until
locking collar snaps in place.
4. Both yoke ends of driveline (#3) should be moved
back and forth to ensure they are secured. Reattach
yoke end if it is loose.
5. Rotate driveline hanger (#1) down.
6. If park jack (#2) is attached to the hitch, it should be
removed and stored on the left-hand wing. For
detailed instructions, see steps 11-12 on page 15.
IMPORTANT:
Always rotate driveline hanger down
after hook-up to prevent driveline damage.

Hydraulic Hook-up
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death: Hydraulic fluid under high
pressure can penetrate the skin and/or eyes causing a serious
injury. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of
cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for
leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of injury must treat the
injury within a few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT
The standard cutter is equipped with three hydraulic
cylinders with one in the center for lifting the cutter and
one on each wing for folding the wings simultaneously. All
three cylinders are single action (one-way) operation.
Each duplex outlet on your tractor can perform only one
operation. One outlet is needed for lifting the cutter and
one for lifting the wings simultaneously. A third outlet is
required if the wings are lifted independently. This will
also require replumbing the wing hydraulic cylinders.
It is highly recommended to connect the wing fold
hose(s) to a duplex outlet with float capabilities and use
the float when in field operation.
Your Land Pride dealer can help you determine the best
configuration that will match your needs and your tractor
capabilities. Optional control valve kits are available if the
tractor does not have the required number of duplex
outlets. For additional information, see
Route hydraulic hoses (#1) through hose support
loop (#2) and connect to tractor remote outlets. If tractor
has a float option on one of the outlets, connect wing lift
hydraulic hose to that outlet and set tractor control lever
for the wing cylinders in float position.

NOTE:
The hose loop will be mounted on the right
side of the unit as shown in
