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 operation.

Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up

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.
