These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in
this manual.
Use A Safety Chain
A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor drawbar.
Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the towed
machinery.
Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
Do not use safety chain for towing.
Tractor Shutdown
And Storage
Before leaving operator’s
seat:
If engaged, disengage PTO.
Lower attachment to ground or
onto support blocks.
Put tractor in park or set park
brake, turn off engine, and remove
switch key to prevent unauthorized
starting.
Wait for all components to come to
a complete stop before leaving the
operator’s seat.
Detach and store attachment in an
area where children normally do
not play. Secure attachment using
blocks and supports.
OFF
REMOVE
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
Work in a clean dry area.
Lower attachment to the ground
and follow all shutdown procedures
before leaving the operator’s seat to
perform maintenance.
Allow equipment to cool before
working on it.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before welding
on attachment.
Do not grease or oil attachment
while it is in operation.
Inspect all parts. Make certain
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.
Remove buildup of grease, oil, or
debris.
Remove all tools and unused parts
from equipment before operation.
Maximum transport speed for an
attached implement is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
an attached implement:
20 mph
when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal to
the weight of machine towing the
implement.
10 mph
when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine towing implement but
not more than double the weight.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the machine towing the load.
Transport
Machinery Safely
Comply with state and local laws.
Use towing vehicle and trailer of
adequate size and capacity.
Secure equipment towed on a
trailer with tie downs and chains.
Sudden braking can cause a trailer
to swerve and upset. Reduce
speed if trailer is not equipped with
brakes.
Avoid contact with any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
