Tractor 3-Point Hook-up
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:
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone
including the operator to hook-up and unhook implement.
1.
Ensure lower arms are stabilized to prevent
excessive side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
2. Be certain tractor draw bar will not interfere. Move
draw bar ahead or remove if required. Draw bar
should also be checked for clearance when unit is
being raised for the first time with driveline installed.
3. Slowly back tractor up to the Grooming Mower while
using 3-Point hydraulic control to align hitch holes in
3-Point lower lift arms with holes in hitch clevis (#2).
4. Engage tractor park brake, shut engine off, and
remove key before dismounting from tractor.
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.
5. Insert lower hitch pins (#1) through hitch clevis holes
and lower lift arm holes. Secure hitch pins with
linchpins (#5).
6. Attach the tractor’s top center link to the mower’s
upper floating hitch (#4) with hitch pin (#6). Secure
hitch pin with hairpin cotter (#7).
