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.

Use A Safety Chain

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 terrains require a slower speed.

Sudden breaking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.

Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with breaks.

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.

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.
