Chain Guards
Refer to Figure 5-20:
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is
mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should
be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where
people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are in
or around the area. It is recommended that a safety shield be
placed between the operator and cutter on an open air tractor.
Before each use of the cutter, ensure all ten chain guard
sections (1-10) are present and undamaged. Replace
any damaged or missing chain guard components as
needed. Order only genuine Land Pride parts from your
local Land Pride dealer.

To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
