Section 2: Operating Instructions  
4. The driveline will require shortening if it is too long to  
fit between tractor and gearbox. Shorten driveline as  
follows:  
IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with  
multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s  
PTO is set for 540 rpm.  
a. Raise or lower 3-point lower arms until gearbox  
and tractor PTO shafts are approximately level  
with each other. Securely block mower frame in  
this position.  
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline  
breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not  
exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while  
operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 2-3 below.  
b. Set tractor in park, shut tractor engine off, set park  
brake and remove switch key.  
c. Pull driveline apart into two sections as shown in  
Figure 2-4. Attach outer driveline universal joint to  
the tractor PTO shaft. Attach inner driveline  
universal joint to the gearbox shaft. Pull on each  
driveline section to be sure universal joints are  
secured to the shafts.  
d. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other to  
determine if they are too long. The inner and outer  
shields on each section should end approximately  
1" short of reaching the universal joint shield on  
the adjacent section (see “B” dimension). If they  
are too long, measure 1" (“B” dimension) back  
from the universal joint shield and make a mark at  
this location on the inner and outer driveline  
shields.

Maximum PTO driveline Movement During Operation  
Figure 2-3  
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline minimum  
length during initial setup, when connecting to a  
different tractor and when alternating between using  
a quick hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More than  
one driveline may be required to fit all applications.  
e. Cut off inner shield at mark (“X” dimension). Cut  
same amount off inner shaft (“X1” dimension).  
Repeat cut off procedure (“Y” & “Y1” dimensions)  
to cut outer driveline half.  
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to aligning the tractor’s  
PTO shaft level with the gearbox shaft when  
checking driveline minimum length. Too long a  
driveline can damage tractor, gearbox and driveline.  
f. Remove all burrs and cuttings.  
5. Apply multi-purpose grease to the inside of the outer  
driveline shaft and reassemble the two shafts.  
6. Attach inner driveline yoke to the gearbox shaft.  
7. Attach outer driveline yoke to the tractor's PTO shaft.  
8. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to  
insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and  
gearbox PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is loose.  
IMPORTANT: Two small chains are supplied with  
the driveline. These chains must be attached to  
outer and inner driveline yoke shields and to the  
cutter deck and tractor to restrict driveline shields  
from rotating.

9. Hook one of the driveline safety chains in a hole on  
the outer driveline yoke shield and the opposite end  
to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation.  
Shortening the PTO Shafts  
Figure 2-4  
10. Hook the second driveline safety chain in a hole on  
the inner driveline yoke shield and the opposite end  
to the mower to restrict inner shield rotation.  
Checking Driveline Minimum Length  
Refer to Figure 2-4:  
1. Start tractor and slowly engage 3-point to move  
lower arms until the gearbox shaft is approximately  
level with tractor's PTO shaft.  
11. Start tractor and raise the Grooming Mower just  
enough to remove blocks used to support the mower  
frame in step 4a above.  
2. Slide inner yoke of the driveline over the gearbox  
shaft and secure with locking collar.  
12. Slowly engage the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point to lower  
the mower. Check for sufficient drawbar clearance.  
Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if required.  
3. Slide outer yoke of driveline over the tractor PTO  
shaft and secure with locking collar. Skip to step 5 on  
page 12 if driveline fits between tractor and gearbox.

CAUTION  
Always disengage tractor PTO before transporting mower to  
avoid injury from thrown objects or blade contact.  
All plugs and caps in gearbox have been replaced and tight-  
ened properly.  
!
CAUTION  
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the  
day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to  
operator’s of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and  
local laws.  
All mower blades, bolts & nuts are tight  
Inspect the blades. Make note of the wear to the blades and  
the sharpness of the blades.  
All guards and shields are in place and secure.  
Grease PTO shaft and all other grease fittings.  
!
CAUTION  
Make a thorough examination of the PTO shafts. Also check  
the connection to the gearbox and tractor PTO.  
The mower is wider than your tractor so care should be taken  
when encountering oncoming traffic and roadside obstructions.  
Clear the area to be mowed of rocks, branches and other for-  
eign objects.  
IMPORTANT: Always disengage PTO before raising  
the mower to transport position.  
1. Clear the area to be mowed of objects and debris  
that might be picked up and thrown by the mower  
blades.  
1. When raising the mower to the transport position, be  
sure that driveline does not contact tractor or mower.  
Adjust the tractor’s 3-point hitch lift height so that the  
PTO shaft does not contact the mower deck. Mower  
should not be transported without tractor’s upper 3-  
Point link attached.  
2. Grass is best cut when it is dry. Mowing wet grass  
can cause plugging resulting in grass clumps behind  
the mower.  
3. Grass should be mowed frequently as shorter  
clippings deteriorate faster.  
2. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when  
turning; and, leave enough clearance so the mower  
does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees  
or fences.  
4. If mowing extremely tall grass, it is best to raise  
cutting height and mow the area, then lower cutting  
height and mow a second time at the desired height.  
5. Lower mower to ground. Set tractor throttle at  
approximately 1/4 open. Engage PTO to start blades  
rotating.  
3. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting  
from one area to another. When traveling on  
roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving  
vehicles may pass you safely.  
6. Operate only with 540rpm PTO tractor.  
7. At first, begin mowing at a slow forward speed and  
shift up until the desired speed is achieved -  
maintaining 540 PTO rpm.  
4. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor  
to a lower gear.  
8. Mower blades will cut better at a faster rotor speed  
than at reduced throttle.  
9. After mowing the first 50 feet, stop and check to see  
that the mower is adjusted properly.  
10. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while  
mower is on the ground.  
11. Do not engage PTO with mower in the fully raised  
position. Do not engage PTO at full throttle.  
12. After mowing disconnect tractor PTO and follow  
transporting procedures.  
!
CAUTION  
When mowing in sandy soil areas, wear may occur to your  
mower blades caused from sand erosion. Frequent inspection  
should be made and blades replaced if damaged

Mower Chute  
This mower is equipped with an adjustable grass  
discharge chute. Adjustments can be made by loosening  
the bolts on the front and rear of mower chute. With the  
mower chute in the raised operating position, grass is  
expelled away from the mower for a more even  
distribution of grass clippings. Lowering the mower chute  
will decrease the distance the grass is discharged from  
the mower.

Figure 3-2  
Floating & Front To  
Back Hitch Adjustments  
The 3-point hitch system on this mower has been  
designed for front to back flotation when mowing on  
uneven terrain. The lower 3-point hitch blocks also are  
adjustable from front to back for additional field float and  
tractor clearance. The lower hitch blocks and top link rear  
braces can be adjusted front to back as shown in Figure  
3-1 and Figure 3-2, Middle Position Floating Hitch  
Adjustment, in lFigure 3-2. Deviation from the 3 setting  
will limit field float.  
NOTE: Positioning the Upper Hitch Arms and Lower  
Hitch Lugs to the back setting shortens overall tractor/  
mower length allowing tighter turns and increasing  
lifting power.

NOTE: Tractor and mower should be on level ground.  
1. Set lower hitches and upper floating hitch, as shown  
in Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, or Figure 3-3.  
2. Make sure PTO is disengaged and start tractor.  
3. Raise mower, watching that tractor draw bar (if not  
removed) does not interfere with mower.  
4. Slowly lower the mower until gauge wheels touch the  
ground and the lower mower 3-point hitch bars are  
parallel to the ground in floating position. Set the  
tractor’s 3-point stop.

key from ignition.  
6. Adjust the tractor top link in or out to place the upper  
hitch pin vertically above the lower hitch pin as  
shown in Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, or Figure 3-3, to  
allow mower flotation.  
7. Rotate blades in line with direction of travel.  
8. Measure the clearance from the cutting edge to the  
ground at front and rear of the blade. This  
measurement should be equal or have the blade at  
the front of the mower not more than 1/2" lower than  
the blade at the rear of the mower.

Cutting Height Adjustment  
1. Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and  
support under it with secure blocking so not to let the  
mower drift down during maintenance.  
Belt Tension  
Figure 3-4  
2. Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick-  
lock pin from top of gauge wheel spindle. Position full  
length spacers and half spacer as required. All  
spacers on top of spindle tube allows for  
approximately 1" cutting height. Adjustments range  
from 1" to a maximum of 5 1/2" in 1/2" increments.  
Refer to “Leveling The Mowerpage 14.  
!
CAUTION  
Engage parking brake, shut off tractor, remove key and  
disengage PTO before making any height adjustments!

tension tester and deflect the belt 1/4". The force  
required to get this deflection should range from 7 to  
10 lbs.  
2. To adjust belt tension, adjust eyebolt (#1), as  
necessary. This adjustment will increase or decrease  
the tension on spring (#2).  
3. Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature  
failure of belt and drive components. Excessive  
tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard  
to the operator or bystanders. Not enough tension on  
the belt may lead to premature failure of the belt due  
to excessive slipping.  
4. Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature  
failure of belt and drive components. Excessive  
tension on the belt may also lead to a safety hazard

!
CAUTION  
For Safety reasons, each maintenance operation must be  
performed with the tractor’s PTO disengaged, the mower  
lowered completely, tractor engine shut off and ignition key  
removed.  
1. If the blade cutting edge is dull or nicked, it should be  
replaced or sharpened. Remove blades for replacing  
or sharpening by grasping the end of the blade using  
a rag or a thick, padded glove, while loosening and  
removing the bolt/bolts that mount the blade.  
General Maintenance  
Blade Inspection  
2. Clean blade, blade washer and mounting surface of  
all debris before replacing or sharpening.  
Refer to Figure 4-1:  
NOTE: Care should be taken in order not to remove  
any more material than necessary to sharpen blade.  
NOTE: Blade Wear: As blades wear and are  
sharpened, the blade performance will be reduced.  
3. Grind cutting edge at the same bevel as the original.  
See Figure 4-2. Sharpen only the top of the cutting  
edge to maintain sharpness.  
!
DANGER  
Bent, Deformed or Split Blades: Should be removed from unit  
and discarded. DO NOT attempt to straighten for reuse.  
!
WARNING  
DO NOT attempt to modify blade, such as hard surfacing, heat  
or cold treating and/or by any other method.

4. Check blade balance by positioning the blade  
horizontally on a nail or shaft through the center hole.  
See Figure 4-3. If either end of the blade rotates  
downward, grind (remove) metal on that end until the  
blade will balance. The blade is properly balanced  
when neither end drops. Balance of a blade is  
generally maintained by removing an equal amount  
of material from each end of the blade when  
sharpening.  
2. Move belt take-up handle in a clockwise direction to  
relieve tension on belt.  
3. With tension relieved from belt remove old belt from  
pulleys.  
4. Install new belt referring to the figure below (also  
refer to the decal on top of mower deck). Be sure belt  
is positioned in all the pulley grooves. Release belt  
take-up handle to apply tension to new belt.  
5. Reinstall all belt covers and secure in place with  
hardware.

WARNING  
Excessive tension on the belt may lead to premature failure of  
belt and drive components. Excessive tension on the belt may  
also lead to a safety hazard to the operator or bystanders.  
3. Replace cap screw. Tighten bolts to proper torque,  
see the “Torque Values Chart” section on page 23.  
IMPORTANT: Replace blades with Land Pride  
blades only.  
Storage  
At the end of the working season or when the mower will  
not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean  
off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the  
mower and any of the moving parts. It may be necessary  
to scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck,  
then use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the surface.  
AIR TIRES (AIR PRESSURE):  
Tire Sealant: Heavy Duty tire sealant has been added in  
Air tires to help reduce air loss from punchers due to  
nails/thorns etc....  
NOTE: Under inflated tires can roll off of rim.  
Maintaining air pressure within 5 PSI of maximum tire  
pressure reduces the risk of tires rolling off of rim.  
1. Clean the mower as necessary. Be sure that the  
mower is completely cleaned before storing.  
2. Check the blades for wear and replace if necessary,  
see “Maintenance” section on page 16.  
V-Belt Installation  
3. Inspect the mower for loose, damaged or worn parts  
and adjust or replace if needed.  
1. Remove right hand, left hand and center belt covers.  
4. Lubricate as noted in the “Lubrication” section on  
5. Remove mower drive belt from one pulley to release  
drive belt tension.

Section 8: Appendix  
Warranty  
Land Pride warrants to the original purchaser that this Land Pride product will  
be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year, from  
the date of delivery to the end user, when used as intended and under normal  
service and conditions for personal use; and 6 months for municipalities, golf

blades, belts, tines, etc. Land Pride reserves the right to inspect any equipment or  
parts which are claimed to have been defective in material or workmanship.  
This Warranty does not apply to any part or product which in Land Pride’s  
judgment shall have been misused or damaged by accident or lack of normal  
maintenance or care, or which has been repaired or altered in a way which  
adversely affects its performance or reliability, or which has been used for a  
purpose for which the product is not designed. Misuse also specifically includes  
failure to properly maintain oil levels, grease points, and driveline shafts.  
Claims under this Warranty must be made to the dealer which originally sold  
the product and all warranty adjustments must be made through such dealer. Land  
Pride reserves the right to make changes in materials or design of the product at  
any time without notice.  
This Warranty shall not be interpreted to render Land Pride liable for damages  
of any kind, direct, consequential, or contingent to property. Furthermore, Land  
Pride shall not be liable for damages resulting from any cause beyond its  
reasonable control. This Warranty does not extend to loss of crops, any expense  
or loss for labor, supplies, rental machinery or for any other reason.  
No other warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, is made  
with respect to this sale; and all implied warranties of merchantability and  
fitness for a particular purpose which exceed the obligations set forth in this  
written warranty are hereby disclaimed and excluded from this sale.
