DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to implement or pulling away from implement. Do not operate
hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly behind
the power machine or near the implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not raise center of lower 3-point hitch pins more than
24" above ground with power take-off engaged. Do not
engage power take-off if hitch pins are higher than 24"
above ground. If 3-point hitch pins are raised higher
than 24", the driveline can break causing flying projectiles.
•
An unsupported parked tiller can tip over. Always use park
stand and/or support blocks to prevent it from tipping over
onto a person.
•
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
IMPORTANT: The tractor’s lower 3-point arms must
be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement.
Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains
for this purpose.
IMPORTANT: To prevent park stand from being
damaged, always store stand in the transport
position before moving tractor with tiller attached.
3-Point Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 1-5:
1. Make sure you have read and follow all Safety Alerts
and notes in boxes listed under
“Hook-Up Rotary
Tiller” on this page before continuing.
2. The tiller is equipped with a Cat. l hitch. Make sure
your tractor’s hitch is compatible with the tiller’s hitch.
3. Ensure lower 3-point lift arms are blocked to prevent
excessive side-to-side movement.
4. Move or remove tractor drawbar to prevent
interference with tiller driveline. See tractor
Operator’s Manual for instructions.
5. If installed, remove customer supplied linchpins (#4),
hairpin cotter (#6), and hitch pin (#5).
6. Slowly back tractor to tiller while using tractor’s
3-point control lever to align holes in lower 3-point lift
arms with hitch pins (#3).
7. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 8.
8. Attach lower 3-point lift arms to hitch pins (#3) and
secure with customer supplied linchpins (#4).
9. Attach tractor’s top center 3-point link to tiller hitch
plates with customer supplied hitch pin (#5) and
hairpin cotter (#6).
NOTE: Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. An additional driveline may be
required if a Quick Hitch is used. See your nearest
Land Pride dealer to purchase a Quick Hitch.
NOTE: Linchpins (#4), hitch pin (#5), and hairpin
cotter (#6) are customer supplied.
