Look For The Safety Alert Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
!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.potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
Be Aware of
Signal Words
A Signal word designates a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words are:
! DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
! WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
! CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
For Your Protection
▲Thoroughly read and understand the “Safety Label” section, read all instructions noted on them.

Important Safety Information
Land Pride
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲Slow moving tractors, selfpropelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.
▲Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲Maximum transport speed for implement 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.
▲Sudden breaking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with breaks.
▲Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as a guideline:
20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.
10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.
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 machinery.
▲Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
Practice Safe
Maintenance
▲Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.

Introduction
Table of Contents
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.
This All-Flex Mower has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
The AFM4211 All-Flex Mower is designed and built by Land Pride to provide excellent cutting quality and performance on lush type turf grasses on expansive and well manicured areas such as fairways, parks, school lawns, sports fields, and 5 acre estates.
The AFM4211 requires attachment to a 30-65 hp turf tractor with 540 rpm PTO speed and can be ordered with slip-clutch or conventional wing driveline configurations.
The mower offers independent deck flotation and zero turning radius due to the sleek frame design. When you need to transport from one mowing site to another the hydraulic wing cylinders will easily lift up the wing decks for a 5’-6" transport width. The contour following capability, highly productive 11’ cutting width, and rear discharge design of the floating cutting decks will greatly reduce wide-area cutting times and still deliver finely groomed surfaces at mowing speeds from 2-6 mph.
See “Section 6: Specifications & Capacities” and “Section 7: Features and Benefits” for additional information and performance enhancing options.

IMPORTANT: Ballast may need to be added to your tractor to maintain steering control. Refer to your tractor’s operator manual to determine if additional ballast is needed. This mower has a positive transport tongue weight of approximately 500 lbs.
Hardware Torque Information
When tightening hardware, refer to “Torque Values Chart” on page 39 to determine standard torque values. Refer to "Additional Torque Values" at the bottom of the chart for exceptions to the standard torque values.
PTO To Drawbar Set-Up
! CAUTION!
Do not over speed PTO or machine damage may result. This mower is designed to be used with a tractor using a rear 540 rpm PTO drive.
Refer to Figure 1-1:
Distances between center of drawbar hitch pin hole to end of tractor PTO shaft (“A” dimension) and from top of drawbar hitch to center of PTO shaft (“B” dimension) must be maintained.
IMPORTANT: PTO damage may occur if distances “A” and “B” are not properly maintained.
Tractor Hook-up
! DANGER!
Crushing Hazard between tractor and implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and implement while backing-up to an implement. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.
Refer to Refer to Figure 1-2:
1.Make certain jack stand is properly attached to the mower hitch and secured with attachment pin.
2.Back tractor within close proximity of clevis.
3.Raise or lower jack stand to align clevis with tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower and upper plates of clevis.
4.Back tractor up to mower hitch until holes in drawbar and clevis are aligned.
5.Attach mower with a 3/4" hitch pin and secure with lock pin. Always use a hitch pin that contains a safety locking device to prevent it from falling out.
6.Retract jack stand until weight of mower is fully removed from the jack. Remove jack and store on storage tube located on divider gearbox shield.
7.Attach safety chain on the frame tongue to the tractor. Adjust chain length to remove all slack except what is necessary to permit turning of mower. Lock chain hook securely onto the chain.
