Refer to Figure 1-3:
•
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up or unhooking
the Weight Box. Keep people and animals away while
backing-up to the Weight Box or pulling away from the box.
Do not operate hydraulic controls while a person is between
the Weight Box and tractor or near the tractor and/or
Weight Box.
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always shut tractor down according to “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook up or unhook the implement.
A 3-point Category I or Category 2 hitch is required.
The lower 3-point arms must be stabilized to prevent
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have turnbuckles,
adjustable chains, or sway blocks for this purpose.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual for detailed
instructions on how to stabilize the lower 3-point arms.
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.
NOTE:
Top center 3-point link pin and hairpin cotter
are customer supplied. Use hole (#6) for Category 1
pin. Use hole (#5) for Category 2 pin.
1. Ensure lower 3-point lift arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side-to-side movement.
2. If hooking-up with a Quick Hitch, refer to the Quick
Hitch Operator’s Manual for detailed hook-up and
operating instructions. Otherwise, continue with
step 3 below.
3. The Weight Box has clevis pins designed for either a
Category 1 or Category 2 hitch. Determine the
correct size to match your tractor.
a. The small diameter side of pin (#4) is for Cat. 1.
b. The large diameter side of pin (#3) is for Cat. 2.
4. Remove linchpins (#2) and clevis pins (#1) from the
box and set aside.
5. Slowly back tractor up to the Weight Box while using
the tractor’s 3-point control lever to align holes in the
tractor’s lower 3-point lift arms with clevis pin holes
on box.
6. Shut tractor down according to
7.
Attach lower 3-point lift arms to box with clevis pins
(#1) and secure with linchpins (#2).
8. Connect top center 3-point link to the upper hitch
clevis with customer supplied hitch pin using hole
(#6) for Category 1 or hole (#5) for Category 2.
Secure hitch pin with customer supplied hairpin
cotter.
9. Return to the tractor and slowly operate tractor
3-point hydraulic control lever to slowly raise and
lower the Weight Box while checking for clearance
between tractor tires, drawbar, and box. Move or
remove drawbar if it interferes with the box.
10. Level the box left to right and front to back. Refer to
