Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Hydraulic Outlets
Two duplex outlets are required. One to raise and lower
the cutter, and one to fold the wing. Float position is
highly recommended for the wing.
If your tractor is not equipped with two duplex outlets, an
optional control valve kit is available from your local Land
Pride dealer. See
40 for information about the hydraulic kit.
Before You Start
Read and understand the operator’s manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
It is best to go through the
Assembly Checklist
before
assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly task and
make the job safer by having all needed parts and
equipment readily at hand.
Torque Requirements
See
“Torque Values Chart”
page 64 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
at bottom of chart for
exceptions to common torque values.
Assembly Checklist
Check
Reference
Have a fork lift or loader with properly sized chains and
safety stands capable of lifting and supporting the
equipment on hand.
Have a minimum of two people available during
assembly.
Make sure all major components and
loose parts are shipped with the machine.
Operator’s
Manual
Double check to make sure all parts,
fasteners, and pins are installed in the
correct location. Refer to the Parts
Manual if unsure. By double checking,
you will lessen the chance of using a bolt
incorrectly that may be needed later.
NOTE:
All assembled hardware from the
factory has been installed in the correct
location. Remember location of a part if
removed. Keep parts separated.

DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death: Do not use a power take-off
adapter. The adapter will increase strain on the tractor’s
power take-off shaft causing possible damage to shaft and
driveline. It will also defeat the purpose of the tractor’s power
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Power take-off damage may occur if distances “A” and
“B” are not properly maintained.
Maintain proper distance, dimension “A”, between center
of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor power take-off
shaft.
