Important Safety Information

Land Pride

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. Use lights and devices provided with implement.

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 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.
