Important Safety Information

5/2/23

2

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products 

described in this manual.

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.

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.

Towing 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 

chocks, tie downs, and chains.

IMPORTANT:

 Do not tow a load 

that is more than double the weight 

of the vehicle towing the load.

Sudden braking can cause a towed 

trailer to swerve unexpectedly. 

Reduce speed if trailer is not 

equipped with brakes.

Transport Safely

Comply with federal, state, and 

local laws.

Avoid contact with any overhead 

utility lines or electrically charged 

conductors.

Always drive with attachment on the 

end of the loader arms low to the 

ground. 

Follow recommendations in the 

power machine Operator’s Manual 

when driving uphill or downhill and 

when parking on an incline.

Never travel at a speed which does 

not allow adequate control of the 

load, steering, and stopping. Some 

rough terrains require a slower 

speed.

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.
