Hook-up WB10
Refer to Figure 1-2:
•
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 avoid 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.
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:
Some special tires raise the tractor high
enough that you can not lower the three point
enough to hook-up when using a quick hitch with the
WB10. A Riser Accessory Kit (which raises the unit
up 4") can be purchased from your dealer. See
Options & Accessories on page 17.
