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.
A 3-Point Category I hitch is required.
1.
Slowly back tractor up to the Soil Pulverizer and use
tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to align hitch holes
in the 3-point lift arms with clevis lug holes (A) on the
Soil Pulverizer.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. With tractor’s lower 3-point lift arms aligned and
positioned in the clevises, attach lower arms to the
clevises with hitch pins (#1) and secure with linchpins
(#2).
4. Connect top center 3-point link to the upper center
hitch clevis with top clevis pin (#3) and secure with
keeper (#4). Clevis pin (#3) and keeper (#4) are
supplied by the customer.
5. Return to the tractor and slowly operate the tractor's
3-Point hydraulic control up and down to check for
clearance between the tires, frame, drawbar etc.
Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the Soil
Pulverizer.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
6. Shut the tractor down before dismounting to level the
pulverizer. Refer to
7.
Manually adjust one of the two lower 3-point lift arms
up or down to level the Soil Pulverizer from left to
right.
8. Manually adjust the length of the top center 3-point
link to level the Soil Pulverizer from front to rear.
NOTE:
A level placed on the unit can be used to
check for levelness.
