Important Safety Information
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,
self-propelled 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 terrain require a
slower speed.
▲ Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲ 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 more
than weight of tractor but less
than 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

Tractor Requirements
Weight & Horsepower
Tractor rating should be between 65 - 100 horsepower.
Tractors outside this range must not be used.
Weight
!
WARNING
Ballast weights may be requiredto maintain steering control.
Refer to your tractor’s Operator’s Manual to determine
proper ballast requirements.
Tractor weight must be capable of controlling the
3-Way Rear Blade under all operating conditions. An
underweight tractor is difficult to steer. Do not use
tractors that are too light. See Important Note Below.
3-Point Hitch Assembly
A 3-Point Category l or II hitch is required. The lower
3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to
preventside-to-side movement.Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
Hardware Torque Requirements
See “Torque Values Chart” on page 28 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware.
Assembly & Set-Up Safety
!
DANGER
Rear Blade components are very heavy and can injure a
person should they suddenly fall from a lifting device or
improvised supports. Always make certain components are
properly secured before lifting and properly supported on the
ground before removing lifting device. Always keep feet and
other extremities clear of areas where components can fall.
Hydraulic Outlets
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate skin. 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 hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of 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.
• No outlets are required if the 3-Way Rear Blade is
set-up with manual links and ratchet jackets only.
• One to three duplex outlets are required if the 3-Way
Rear Blade is set-up with any one or more of the
following hydraulic cylinders; Offset Cylinder, Tilt
Cylinder, and Angle Cylinder. Each cylinder will
requires a duplex outlet at the tractor.
A Selector Valve Kit may be purchased through your
local Land Pride dealer if your tractor does not have the
required number of duplex outlets. The selector valve
provides a way to operate 2 hydraulic cylinders through
oneduplex outlet at the tractor.See “Hydraulic Selector
Valve” on page 14 for Kit Part No. and assembly
instructions.
