Assembly Instructions

Land Pride

Position Lever ahead and turn the blade to the desired
position. The Lever will spring back when the blade is at
the correct angle.

The blade skids are adjustable so the blade can be
lowered but still held a certain distance off the ground.

The blade is designed to trip when it strikes an object or
digs in too far. When pressure is released the blade
springs back into position. Blade spring tension may be
set stiffer by tightening the Locknuts on the bottom of the
Eyebolts. For less spring tension, loosen the Locknuts.

Do not exceed 5 MPH with blade installed.

Operate with extreme caution on slopes, steep grades
and rough terrain.

Keep away from blade and moving parts during
operation.

When plowing snow or dirt into a pile, start backing up
before raising the blade.

Do not ram the blade into the pile ** SLOW DOWN

BEFORE HITTING THE PILE. **

Be aware of possible hidden objects under snow.

Wear head protection, safety glasses and shoes as
recommended in the machine’s Operator’s Manual.

Allow no riders on blade or machine while moving or
stationary.

Keep bystanders away from blade and machine while
moving or stationary.

When blade is not in use, stop the machine?s engine, set
and lock brakes, and lower blade to down position.

Only mature adults over the age of 16 should operate the
machinery. Do not operate this machinery if you are
under the age of 16.

Please read and follow all of the instructions in the
owner?s manual.

Please read and follow all of the instructions in the
machine’s operations manual.

Keep all bystanders a minimum of 15 Meters away from
the machine and Blade when it is in operation.

Hinge (#2) to the Blade with the 1/2" x 1 " Bolts and
Locknuts (#15). Tighten Nuts to 60 Ft Pounds of Torque.
See diagram below.

Remove the two Blade Spring Attaching Brackets (#8)
from the LEFT side of the Blade Hinge. Fasten one on
either side of the Blade Hinge as shown in the parts
breakdown and picture.

Hang the two Blade Springs (#16) from the top holes in
the Blades ribs. Place the Eyebolts (#14) onto the
springs and fasten the Eyebolts to the Blade Spring
Attaching Brackets (#8) using the two locknuts.

Spring tension may be set stiffer by tightening the
locknuts on the Eyebolts, or for less tension loosen the
Locknuts. Setting the tension stiffer means the blade will
not trip as easily as when set with less tension.

These Instructions are for the Push Tube Assembly only.

Final Blade Installation

Position the Push Tube Assembly (#1) under the
machine. Lift the rear of the assembly up and secure it to
the Push Tube Attaching Brackets using the 3/8" Clevis
Pins and #3 Hairpins provided in the Attaching Kit.

The Blade Stops (#4) on either side of the Blade Hinge
are shipped loose. By turning the Stops around, the pitch
of the Blade changes. The recommended pitch is one
that allows the top and bottom of the blade to be
perpendicular to the ground. Set the Stops to the desired
position, they must be the same on both sides, and
tighten the bolts on the stops fully.

The Blade Skids on 60" blades are installed up side down
at the factory for shipping/boxing purposes. Turn the
Blade Skids around by loosening the two end bolts on the
Blade and tighten the Bolts before using the Blade.

Blade Angle Operation

To move the Blade Left, Right or Straight, pull the Blade
Position Lever (#5) forward and turn the blade to the
desired position. The Lever will automatically spring into
the slot when the Blade reaches the proper angle.

Blade Lift Operation with a winch

Method One:

The blade can be lifted using the winch. Hook the winch
hook onto the slot in the Blade Position Lever Bracke
(#3) and lift with the winch. See diagram below.

Install the Blade Position Lever (#5), and Blade Position
Spring using the 5/16" x 2 1/4" Bolt (#12), Roller
Bushings, and 5/16" Nylock Locknut provided. See
picture above. Tighten bolt fully and THEN

LOOSEN JUST ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE BLADE
