Maximum Driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-14
Check Driveline Interference
Refer to Figure 1-14:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A rotating driveline must not exceed an angle of 25 degrees up
or down, and never engage a driveline while at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down. The driveline can break and
1. Lubricate driveline If it has not be lubricated. Refer to
on pages 44-44.
2. Attach driveline to the implement or tractor if it is not
attached. See
and
3. Start tractor and raise implement slightly off the
support blocks. Drive forward until the implement is
clear of the support blocks.
4. Slowly and carefully lower and raise cutter to ensure
drawbar, tires, and other tractor equipment do not
contact the cutter frame. If there is an interference:
a. Back cutter over the support blocks and lower it
onto the blocks.
b. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
c. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the
cutter and make any other necessary corrections.
d. Repeat steps 1-4 to verify the cutter does not
interfere with the tractor.
5. Start tractor and raise implement fully up. If
implement is not above the support blocks, back
implement over the support blocks. Do not lower
implement onto the support blocks.
6. Without changing the 3-point lift height, shut tractor
down using
.
7.
Check to make sure the driveline angle does not
exceed 25 degrees above horizontal as shown in
24872
8. If driveline angle exceeds 25 degrees above
horizontal, adjust 3-point lift height as follows:
a. Adjust tractor 3-point lift limiter height to keep the
driveline within the recommended lift angle.
b. If the 3-point left lever does not have a lift height
limiter, make a mark with tape or other means to
indicate maximum lift height.
9. Start tractor, raise implement slightly, and drive
forward enough to clear the support blocks.
10. Lower implement to ground and shut tractor down
using
Check Chain Assembly
Figure 1-15
Check Chains (Accessory)
Refer to Figure 1-15:
For 3-Point Mounted Cutters
(Available through Land Pride parts department.)
Check chains are used to control the cutting height and
allow the mower to be lowered to the same preset cutting
height effortlessly.
1. Install lower end of check chain (#1) to the inner hitch
ear as shown in Figure 1-15, using 3/4"-10 x 1 1/2
long bolts (#2), lock washers (#3), and nuts (#4).
Tighten securely.
2. Install chain lugs (#5) on either side of the tractor top
link mount using pin (not supplied).
3. Cutting height is then set by placing proper chain link
in key slot (#5).

NOTE:
For additional safety in transport, raise
cutter as high as possible, and shorten check chains
to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
