DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while Connecting and disconnecting
the implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-
up to the implement or pulling away from the 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:
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
weight requirements and maximum limitations.
•
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.
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.
Refer to Figure 1-2:
A 3-point Category I hitch is required. The lower 3-point
arms of the 3-point hitch must be stabilized to prevent
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks
or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1. Slowly back tractor up to the Grading Scraper while
using the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to align
lower hitch arm holes with clevis pin holes on the
scraper.
2. Shut tractor down. See
3. With lower lift arms positioned between clevis lugs
and aligned with clevis pin holes, insert hitch pins
(#1) and secure with linchpins (#2).
4. Connect top center 3-point link to upper pivot hitch
using clevis pin (#3) and hair pin (#4).
5. Ensure that the lower lift arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side movement.
6. Return to the tractor and slowly operate controls up
and down to check for clearance between scraper
frame, tractor tires and tractor drawbar. Move or
remove drawbar if it interferes with scraper.
