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, 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.
▲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 trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if trailer is not equipped with brakes.
▲Avoid contact with any over head utility lines or electrically charged conductors.
▲Engage park brake when stopped on an incline.
▲Maximum transport speed for an attached 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.
▲As a guideline, use the following maximum speed weight ratios for an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached implement is less than or equal to the weight of machine towing the implement.
10 mph when weight of attached implement exceeds weight of machine towing implement but not more than double the weight.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of the machine 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 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 attached implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool before working on it.
▲Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on implement.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make certain parts are in good condition & installed properly.
▲Replace parts on this machine with genuine Land Pride parts only. Do not alter this machine in a way which will adversely affect its performance.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.
