moving or working around the unit. Make sure moldboard
pivot and tilt retaining hardware is tightened to the correct
torque. The moldboard can fall from the its pivot mount or
tilt mount if retaining hardware is loose or missing.

implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-
up to implement or pulling away from implement. Do not

directly behind the power machine or near the implement.
Standard 3-Point Hook-Up
A 3-Point Category II or III 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.
Shorten or remove tractor drawbar to keep it from
interfering with the Rear Blade.
2. Remove linchpins and hitch pins from clevis
lugs.Keep for reuse.
3. Slowly back tractor up to 3-Way Rear Blade while
using tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align hitch
holes in lower arms with implement’s hitch pin holes.
4. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off
and remove key before dismounting from tractor or
allowing someone else to hook-up the Rear Blade.
5. With tractor’s lower hitch arms aligned and
positioned in the clevises, insert hitch pins through
the clevis lugs and lower arm hitch holes. Secure
hitch pins with linchpins.
6. Ensure lower arms are stabilized to prevent
excessive side movement.
7.
Refer to
Remove hitch
pin (#10) from park stand (#11) and rotate stand up.
Reinsert hitch pin and secure with hairpin cotter.
8. Connect Cat. II top center link to upper holes using
customer supplied 1" clevis pin & linchpin. If top
center link is Cat. III, drive 1" x 1 1/4" x 1 5/8"
bushings out and connect center link to upper holes
using customer supplied 1 1/4" clevis pin & linchpin.
9. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or
down to level the Rear Blade from left to right.
10. Manually adjust length of the top-link to level the
Rear Blade from front to rear.
11. Check clearances after all offset, pivot, and tilt
linkages have been installed. Refer to
Quick Hitch Hook-Up
The customer must purchase and install two 1.141" ID x
1.4375" OD x 2 1/2" long busings (Land Pride Part No.
890-940C) on the lower hitch pins. Also, the center hitch
pin must be moved to the lower hitch holes.
