Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
If your tractor is not equipped with two duplex outlets, an
optional control valve kit is available from your local Land
Pride dealer. See “Selector Control Valve Kit” on page
39 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 62 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
“Additional Torque Values” 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 or
fastener if removed during assembly.
Keep parts separated.
