Look for the Safety Alert Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a

potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra

safety precaution must be taken. When you see this

symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that

follows it. In addition to design and configuration of

equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention are

dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and

proper training of personnel involved in the operation,

transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

Safety Precautions for

Children

Tragedy can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of

children. Children generally are

attracted to implements and their

work.

 Never assume children will remain

where you last saw them.

 Keep children out of the work area

and under the watchful eye of a

responsible adult.

 Be alert and shut the implement

and tractor down if children enter

the work area.

 Never carry children on the tractor

or implement. There is not a safe

place for them to ride. They may

fall off and be run over or interfere

with the control of the power

machine.

 Never allow children to operate the

power machine, even under adult

supervision.

 Never allow children to play on the

power machine or implement.

 Use extra caution when backing

up. Before the tractor starts to

move, look down and behind to

make sure the area is clear.

Safety at All Times

Careful operation is your best

assurance against an accident.

All operators, no matter how much

experience they may have, should

carefully read this manual and

other related manuals, or have the

manuals read to them, before

operating the power machine and

this implement.

 Thoroughly read and understand

the “Safety Label” section. Read

all instructions noted on them.

 Do not operate the equipment

while under the influence of drugs

or alcohol as they impair the ability

to safely and properly operate the

equipment.

 The operator should be familiar

with all functions of the tractor and

attached implement and be able to

handle emergencies quickly.

 Make sure all guards and shields

appropriate for the operation are in

place and secured before

operating implement.

 Keep all bystanders away from

equipment and work area.

 Start tractor from the driver’s seat

with hydraulic controls in neutral.

 Operate tractor and controls from

the driver’s seat only.

 Never dismount from a moving

tractor or leave tractor unattended

with engine running.

 Do not allow anyone to stand

between tractor and implement

while backing up to implement.

 Keep hands, feet, and clothing

away from power-driven parts.

 While transporting and operating

equipment, watch out for objects

overhead and along side such as

fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.

 Do not turn tractor so tight as to

cause hitched implement to ride

up on the tractor’s rear wheel.

 Store implement in an area where

children normally do not play.

When needed, secure attachment

against falling with support blocks.

Be Aware of

Signal Words

A signal word designates a degree or

level of hazard seriousness. The

signal words are:

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, will result in death or

serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if

not avoided, may result in minor or

moderate injury.

Important Safety Information

11/27/18

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products

described in this manual.

Practice Safe Maintenance

 Understand procedure before doing

work. Refer to the Operator’s

Manual for additional information.

 Work on a level surface in a clean

dry area that is well-lit.

 Lower implement to the ground and

follow all shutdown procedures

before leaving the operator’s seat to

perform maintenance.

 Do not work under any hydraulic

supported equipment. It can settle,

suddenly leak down, or be lowered

accidentally. If it is necessary to

work under the equipment, securely

support it with stands or suitable

blocking beforehand.

 Use properly grounded electrical

outlets and tools.

 Use correct tools and equipment for

the job that are in good condition.

 Allow equipment to cool before

working on it.

 Disconnect battery ground cable (-)

before servicing or adjusting

electrical systems or before welding

on implement.

 Inspect all parts. Make certain

parts are in good condition &

installed properly.

 Replace parts on this implement

with genuine Land Pride parts only.

Do not alter this implement in a way

which will adversely affect its

performance.

 Do not grease or oil implement

while it is in operation.

 Remove buildup of grease, oil, or

debris.

 Always make sure any material and

waste products from the repair and

maintenance of the implement are

properly collected and disposed.

 Remove all tools and unused parts

before operation.

 Do not weld or torch on galvanized

metal as it will release toxic fumes.

Use A Safety Chain

 A safety chain will help control

drawn machinery should it

separate from the tractor drawbar.

 Use a chain with the strength

rating equal to or greater than the

gross weight of the towed

implement.

 Attach the chain to the tractor

drawbar support or other specified

anchor location. Allow only

enough slack in the chain to

permit turning.

 Always hitch the implement to the

machine towing it. Do not use the

safety chain tow the implement.

Transport Safely

 Comply with federal, state, and

local laws.

 Use towing vehicle and trailer of

adequate size and capacity. Secure

equipment towed on a trailer with

tie downs and chains.

 Sudden braking can cause a towed

trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce

speed if towed trailer is not

equipped with brakes.

 Avoid contact with any overhead

utility lines or electrically charged

conductors.

 Always drive with load on end of

loader arms low to the ground.

 Always drive straight up and down

steep inclines with heavy end of a

tractor with loader attachment on

the “uphill” side.

 Engage park brake when stopped

on an incline.

 Maximum transport speed for an

attached equipment is 20 mph. DO

NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a

speed which does not allow

adequate control of steering and

stopping. Some rough terrains

require a slower speed.

 As a guideline, use the following

maximum speed weight ratios for

attached equipment:

20 mph when weight of attached

equipment is less than or equal

to the weight of machine towing

the equipment.

10 mph when weight of attached

equipment exceeds weight of

machine towing equipment but

not more than double the weight.

 IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load

that is more than double the weight

of the vehicle towing the load.

Tire Safety

 Tire changing can be dangerous

and must be performed by

trained personnel using the

correct tools and equipment.

 Always maintain correct tire

pressure. Do not inflate tires

above recommended pressures

shown in the Operator’s Manual.

 When inflating tires, use a clip-on

chuck and extension hose long

enough to allow you to stand to

one side and NOT in front of or

over the tire assembly. Use a

safety cage if available.

 Securely support the implement

when changing a wheel.

 When removing and installing

wheels, use wheel handling

equipment adequate for the

weight involved.

 Make sure wheel bolts have been

tightened to the specified torque.

Important Safety Information

11/27/18

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products

described in this manual.

Avoid High

Pressure Fluids Hazard

 Escaping fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious

injury.

 Before disconnecting hydraulic

lines or performing work on the

hydraulic system, be sure to

release all residual pressure.

 Make sure all hydraulic fluid

connections are tight and all

hydraulic hoses and lines are in

good condition before applying

pressure to the system.

 Use a piece of paper or

cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to

check for suspected leaks.

 Wear protective gloves and safety

glasses or goggles when working

with hydraulic systems.

 DO NOT DELAY. If an accident

occurs, see a doctor familiar with

this type of injury immediately. Any

fluid injected into the skin or eyes

must be treated within

a few hours or

gangrene may

result.

Wear Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE)

 Wear protective clothing and

equipment appropriate for the job

such as safety shoes, safety

glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs.

 Clothing should fit snug without

fringes and pull strings to avoid

entanglement with moving parts.

 Prolonged exposure to loud noise

can cause hearing impairment or

hearing loss. Wear suitable

hearing protection such as

earmuffs or earplugs.

 Operating equipment safely

requires the operator’s full

attention. Avoid wearing

headphones while operating

equipment.

Use Seat Belt and ROPS

 Land Pride recommends the use

of a CAB or roll-over-protective-

structures (ROPS) and seat belt

in almost all power machines.

Combination of a CAB or ROPS

and seat belt will reduce the risk

of serious injury or death if the

power machine should be upset.

 If ROPS is in the locked-up

position, fasten seat belt snugly

and securely to help protect

against serious injury or death

from falling and machine overturn.

Keep Riders Off

Machinery

 Never carry riders on tractor or

implement.

 Riders obstruct operator’s view

and interfere with the control of

the power machine.

 Riders can be struck by objects or

thrown from the equipment.

 Never use tractor or implement to

lift or transport riders.

Avoid Underground

Utilities

 Dig Safe, Call 811 (USA).

Always contact your local utility

companies (electrical, telephone,

gas, water, sewer, and others)

before digging so that they may

mark the location of any

underground services in the area.

 Be sure to ask how close you can

work to the marks they positioned.

Prepare for Emergencies

 Be prepared if a fire starts.

 Keep a first aid kit and fire

extinguisher handy.

 Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital, and

fire department near phone.

911

Use Safety

Lights and Devices

 Slow moving tractors, skid steers,

self-propelled machines, and towed

equipment can create a hazard

when driven on public roads. They

are difficult to see, especially at

night. Use the Slow Moving Vehicle

sign (SMV) when on public roads.

 Flashing warning lights and turn

signals are recommended

whenever driving on public roads.

and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves

and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic

systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands

when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of

injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene

may result. DO NOT DELAY.

The number of required hydraulic duplex outlets at the

tractor is dependent upon how the 3-Way Rear Blade is

set-up.

• Three duplex outlets are required to connect the

following hydraulic cylinders: Offset Cylinder, Tilt

Cylinder and Angle Cylinder.

• A fourth duplex outlet is required if a dual gauge wheel

is included.

Torque Requirements

See “Torque Values Chart” on page 27 to determine

correct torque values when tightening hardware.

Tractor Shutdown Procedure

The following are basic tractor shutdown procedures.

Follow these procedures and any additional shutdown

procedures provided in your tractor Operator’s Manual

before leaving the operator’s seat.

1. Reduce engine speed and disengage power take-off

if engaged.

2. Park tractor and implement on level, solid ground.

3. Lower implement to ground or onto non-concrete

support blocks.

4. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine,

and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized

starting.

5. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic

lines.

6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop

before leaving the operator’s seat.

7. Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when

stepping on and off the tractor.

3-Point Hook-Up

DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always check all blade hardware for tightness before

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.

• 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.

Standard 3-Point Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-5:

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.

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.

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. Remove hitch pin from park stand and rotate stand

fully up. Reinsert hitch pin and secure with hairpin

cotter.

8. Connect top center link to the upper pivot hitch

mounting holes using customer supplied 1" clevis pin

and linchpin. If hooking-up with a Cat. III hitch, a

1.01" I.D. x 1 1/4" O.D. x 2.06" long bushing (supplied

by customer) is also required. Bushing may be

purchased from Land Pride, Part No. 325-096D.

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.
