Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11/6/18

Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

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.

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.

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-protectivestructures (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.

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.

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.

be added to the right-hand side of the tractor engine

cowling and radiator. This will help protect the tractor’s

finish and radiator against thrown objects.

Cat. ll & Cat. lll quick hitch hook-ups will use upper center bolt and bushing supplied with cutter. An upper hitch pin must be supplied by customer when making a 3-point Cat II hook-up. If customer does not have a hitch pin, one can be purchased from Land Pride. See hitch pin part number and description below.

805-079C - Upper Hitch Pin Cat II (1" dia. x 3 3/8" usable)

Before operating this unit, 80-90 EP Gear Lube must be added to the speed increaser as indicated in the “Maintenance & Lubrication” section for “Speed Increaser” on page 42 of this manual.

35 Gallons of hydraulic fluid is needed for the hydraulic reservoir. Use high quality mineral based hydraulic fluid such as Mobilfluid 424 with a viscosity rating of 10W-30.

Additional hydraulic fluid (approx 2 gallons) may be needed for the tractor reservoir.

Miscellaneous assembly tools: hammer, tape measure, assortment of wrenches and sockets, and spirit level.

Have a forklift or hoist with properly sized chains and safety stands on hand capable of lifting 2500 lbs.

Auxiliary tractor weights (depending on tractor size). See

“Tractor Requirements” on page 12.

A minimum of two people available during assembly.

Be sure parts get used in the correct location. Use Parts Manual to identify location of pins, bolts, and other parts that you are unsure of their location. By double checking, you will lessen the chance of using a bolt or pin incorrectly that may be needed later.

Make sure working parts move freely, bolts are tight & cotter pins are spread.

Make sure all grease fittings are in place and lubricated.

Make sure all safety decals are legible and undamaged. Red and amber reflectors are correctly located and visible when machine is in transport position.

Driveline and loose parts bag/box shipped with the cutter are present.

Unloading & Parking The Cutter

Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 14:

1. Check transport safety chain (#1). It must be secured in deck hook (#6) with zip tie (#19) before moving cutter or working around the unit.

2. Use a fork lift capable of lifting 2500 lbs to lift the cutter. Insert right fork through slot (#4) in extension arm and left fork under mainframe (#3) as illustrated with arrows.

3. Lift cutter from the shipping trailer and transport it to your work area or storage location.

4. Park fork lift with Ditch Bank Cutter on level hard ground. Lower cutter until supported on parking stand (#2) and shipping block (#16).

5. Remove fork lift from under the cutter if storing cutter without setting it up for tractor hook-up. Do not remove fork lift if hooking-up cutter to a tractor.

Preparing For Tractor Hook-up

The Ditch Bank Cutter is shipped with the deck folded up and hydraulic reservoir empty of fluid. The reservoir will

need to be filled with fluid and deck rotated down before cutter can be hooked-up to a tractor.

Fill Hydraulic Reservoir With Fluid

1. If fork lift is still under the cutter after unloading and parking the cutter, turn off ignition switch and remove switch key before dismounting unit to fill hydraulic reservoir.

NOTE: The hydraulic reservoir can be filled without the use of the fork lift if the Ditch Bank Cutter has been properly parked for storage after unloading.

IMPORTANT: Any high quality mineral based hydraulic fluid such as Mobilfluid 424 with a viscosity rating of 10W-30 is acceptable. For alternate fluids, search on the web for “Mobilfluid 424" or go to

www.mobil.com.

2. Remove fill cap (#15) and add 35 gallons of Mobilfluid 424 to the hydraulic reservoir. Use care to ensure that dust or other foreign particles do not contaminate the fluid.

Check Hose Loops

Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 14:

IMPORTANT: Hoses (#14) should loop up as shown and tilt slightly to the back to keep hoses from falling forward into the tractor tires. They also should be zipped tied together in three locations as shown.

1. Check hoses (#14) to make sure they loop up as shown and tilt back at the top.

2. If needed, loosen hoses at bulk head (#11) and tilt top of hose loops (#14) slightly back. Hold loops in this position and re-tighten hoses at the bulk head.

3. If additional movement is needed, loosen hose clamp (#8) and tilt hose loops slightly back. Hold loops in this position and re-tighten hose clamp bolt.

4. Check hose loops to make sure they are tied together with zip ties (#17) in the three locations shown. If not, add zip ties to the hoses as shown.
