The purpose of this manual is to assist you
in operating and maintaining your Land
Plane. Read it carefully. It furnishes infor-
mation and instructions that will help you
achieve years of dependable performance.
These instructions have been compiled
from field experience and engineering
data. Some information may be general in
nature, due to unknown and varying oper-
ating conditions. However, through expe-
rience and these instructions, you should
be able to develop procedures suitable to
your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this
manual were current at the time of print-
ing. However, due to possible inline pro-
duction changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to
redesign and change the machines as
may be necessary without notification.
Throughout this manual, references are
made to right and left direction. These are
determined by standing behind the tractor
facing the direction of forward travel.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out
by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of equip-
ment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, judge-
ment, and proper training of personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage
of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.”We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
• Safety instructions are important! Read all attach-
ment and power unit manuals; follow all safety
rules and safety decal information. (Replacement
manuals are available from selling dealer.) Failure
to follow instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
• If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
• Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
• Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
• Train all new personnel and review instruction’s
frequently with existing workers. A person who has
not read and understood all operating and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate the machine.
An untrained operator exposes himself and bystand-
ers to possible serious injury or death.
PREPARATION
• Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to
avoid getting caught in moving parts.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing,
and head; and respirator or filter mask where
appropriate.
• Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
• Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in
death from being run over or crushed. Keep fold-
able ROPS system in “locked up” position at all
times.
• A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when
attachments are in transport position. Without
this weight, tractor could tip over, causing per-
sonal injury or death. The weight may be attained
with a loader, ballast in tires or front tractor
weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do
not estimate. Implement Code given in
Specifications Section, page #1, is used to deter-
min appropriate ballast. See your tractor opera-
tor's manual for required number of weights to
use for your specified Implement Code.
TRANSPORTATION
• Always comply with all state and local laws gov-
erning highway safety and lighting and marking
requirements.
• Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
• Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
• Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
• Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Consult
your doctor about operating this machine while
taking prescription medications.
