Important Safety Information

3/3/20 1

Important Safety InformationListed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Safety at All TimesCareful operation is your best assurance against an accident. All operators, no matter how much experience they may have, should carefully read this manual and other related manuals, or have the manuals read to them, before operating the power machine and this attachment. Thoroughly read and understand

the “Safety Label” section. Read all instructions noted on them.

Do not operate the equipment while under the influence of drugs or alcohol as they impair the ability to safely and properly operate the equipment.

The operator should be familiar with all functions of the tractor and attachment and be able to handle emergencies quickly.

Make sure all guards and shields appropriate for the operation are in place and secured before operating attachment.

Keep all bystanders away from equipment and work area.

Start tractor from the driver’s seat with hydraulic controls in neutral.

Operate tractor and controls from the driver’s seat only.

Never dismount from a moving tractor or leave tractor unattended with engine running.

Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and attachment while hooking-up.

Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts.

While transporting and operating equipment, watch out for objects overhead and along side such as fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.

Store attachment in an area where children normally do not play. When needed, secure attachment against falling with support blocks.

Look for the Safety Alert SymbolThe SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety and extra precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. Hazard control, and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

Tractor Shutdown & Storage If engaged, disengage power

take-off. Park on solid, level ground and

lower attachment to ground or onto support blocks.

Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine, and remove ignition key to prevent unauthorized starting.

Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic lines.

Wait for all components to stop before leaving operator’s seat.

Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when stepping on and off the tractor.

Detach and store attachment in an area where children normally do not play. Secure attachment using blocks and supports.

OFF REMOVE

Safety Precautions for ChildrenTragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children generally are attracted to attachments and their work. Never assume children will remain

where you last saw them. Keep children out of the work area

and under the watchful eye of a responsible adult.

Be alert and shut the attachment and tractor down if children enter the work area.

Never carry children on the tractor or attachment. There is not a safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run over or interfere with the control of the power machine.

Never allow children to operate the power machine, even under adult supervision.

Never allow children to play on the power machine or attachment.

Use extra caution when backing up. Before the tractor starts to move, look down and behind to make sure the area is clear.

!

Be Aware of Signal WordsA signal word designates a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words are:

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

Important Safety Information

3/3/202

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Transport Safely Comply with federal, state, and

local laws. Use towing vehicle and trailer of

adequate size and capacity. Secure equipment towed on a trailer with tie downs and chains.

Sudden braking can cause a towed trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed trailer is not equipped with brakes.

Avoid contact with any overhead utility lines or electrically charged conductors.

Always drive with load on end of loader arms low to the ground.

Always drive straight up and down steep inclines with heavy end of a tractor with loader attachment on the “uphill” side.

Engage park brake when stopped on an incline.

Maximum transport speed for an attached equipment is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.

As a guideline, use the following maximum speed weight ratios for attached equipment:

20 mph when weight of attached equipment is less than or equal to the weight of machine towing the equipment.10 mph when weight of attached equipment exceeds weight of machine towing equipment but not more than double the weight.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of the vehicle towing the load.

Practice Safe Maintenance Understand procedure before doing

work. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for additional information.

Work on a level surface in a clean dry area that is well-lit.

Lower attachment to the ground and follow all shutdown procedures before leaving the operator’s seat to perform maintenance.

Do not work under any hydraulically supported equipment. It can settle, suddenly leak down, or be lowered accidentally. If it is necessary to work under the equipment, securely support it with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.

Use properly grounded electrical outlets and tools.

Use correct tools and equipment for the job that are in good condition.

Allow equipment to cool before working on it.

Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or adjusting electrical systems or before welding on equipment.

Inspect all parts. Make certain that parts are in good condition & installed properly.

Replace parts on this attachment with genuine Land Pride parts only. Do not alter this attachment in a way which will adversely affect its performance.

Do not grease or oil attachment while it is in operation.

Remove buildup of grease, oil, or debris.

Always make sure any material and waste products from the repair and maintenance of the attachment are properly collected and disposed.

Remove all tools and unused parts before operation.

Tire Safety Tire changing can be dangerous

and must be performed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.

Always maintain correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above recommended pressures shown in the Operator’s Manual.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

Securely support the implement when changing a wheel.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

Make sure wheel bolts have been tightened to the specified torque.

Use A Safety Chain A safety chain will help control

drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.

Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed implement.

Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.

Always hitch the implement to the machine towing it. Do not use the safety chain to tow the implement.

Important Safety Information

3/3/20 3

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Prepare for Emergencies Be prepared if a fire starts. Keep a first aid kit and fire

extinguisher handy. Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital, and fire department near phone.

911

Keep Riders Off Machinery Never carry riders on tractor or

implement. Riders obstruct operator’s view

and interfere with the control of the power machine.

Riders can be struck by objects or thrown from the equipment.

Never use tractor or implement to lift or transport riders.

Use Safety Lights and Devices Slow moving tractors, and

self-propelled equipment can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night. Use the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign when on public roads.

Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads.

Use Seat Belt and ROPS Land Pride recommends the use

of a CAB or roll-over-protective-structures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all power machines. Combination of a CAB or ROPS and seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or death if the power machine should be upset.

If ROPS is in the locked-up position, fasten seat belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids Escaping fluid

under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Relieve all residual pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing work on the hydraulic system.

Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are properly tightened/torqued and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.

Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.

DO NOT DELAY. If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Wear protective clothing and

equipment appropriate for the job such as safety shoes, safety, glasses, hard hat, dust mask, and ear plugs.

Clothing should fit snug without fringes and pull strings to avoid entanglement with moving parts.

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

Operating a machine safely requires the operator’s full attention. Avoid wearing headphones while operating equipment.

Important Safety Information

3/3/204

Avoid crystalline Silica (quartz) DustBecause crystalline silica is a basic component of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching, sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica can produce dust containing crystalline silica particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs (silicosis).There are guidelines which should be followed if crystalline silica (quartz) is present in the dust.

Be aware of and follow OSHA (or other local, State, or Federal) guidelines for exposure to airborne crystalline silica.

Know the work operations where exposure to crystalline silica may occur.

Participate in air monitoring or training programs offered by the employer.

Be aware of and use optional equipment controls such as water sprays, local exhaust ventilation, and enclosed cabs with positive pressure air conditioning if the machine has such equipment. Otherwise respirators shall be worn.

Where respirators are required, wear a respirator approved for protection against crystalline silica containing dust. Do not alter respirator in any way. Workers who use tight-fitting respirators can not have beards/mustaches which interfere with the respirator seal to the face.

If possible, change into disposable or washable work clothes at the work site; shower and change into clean clothing before leaving the work site.

Do not eat, drink, use tobacco products, or apply cosmetics in areas where there is dust containing crystalline silica.

Store food, drink, and personal belongings away from the work area.

Wash hands and face before eating, drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics after leaving the exposure area.

These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Dig Safe - Avoid Underground Utilities USA: Call 811

CAN: digsafecanada.ca Always contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas, water, sewer, and others) before digging so that they may mark the location of any underground services in the area.

Be sure to ask how close you can work to the marks they positioned.

Handle Chemicals Properly Protective clothing should be

worn. Handle all chemicals with care. Follow instructions on container

label. Agricultural chemicals can be

dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil, and property.

Inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire can be a serious health hazard.

Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the chemical manufacturer.

Hook-up Customer HydraulicsLength of hydraulic hoses, type of hydraulic fittings, and method of hose routing will vary from tractor to tractor. Therefore, the customer is to supply required hydraulic hoses, elbows, adapters, mounting brackets, quick connect couplers, and all other unforeseen components to complete the connection between customer’s duplex outlet at the tractor and Land Pride’s connection point at the back of the bucket.

WARNING!To avoid serious injury or death: Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.1. Attach customer supplied hydraulic hoses to the back

of the grapple as follows:

• Standard Set-up, refer to Figure 1-4 on page 11: Customer supplied hydraulics will connect to tees (#6). Tees are 9/16"-18 37o male JIC threads.

• Optional Set-up, refer to Figure 1-5 on page 12: Customer supplied hydraulics will connect to EXT & RET ports in counterbalance valve (#12). Remove and discard EXT & RET port plugs (#13) from counterbalance valve. EXT & RET Ports are 3/4"-16 female ORB threads.

2. Route customer supplied hydraulic hoses through the most convenient path to access the tractor’s duplex outlet.

3. Clean quick connect couplers of dirt and then connect couplers to the tractor’s duplex outlet. Make sure quick connect couplers are fully engaged. If they are not, check the following:

a. Make sure couplers are same size and type.

b. Make sure hydraulic pressure has been released.

4. Extend and retract hydraulic cylinder with the tractor controls. Switch hoses on the tractor duplex outlet if hydraulic cylinders operate opposite of intended direction.

5. Secure customer supplied hydraulic hoses and fittings along their path with zip ties or by other means to protect them from being pinched, kinked, and/or snagged.

6. For additional help, refer to Hydraulic Hook-up in your tractor Operator’s Manual.

IMPORTANT: Make sure coupler fittings on the customer supplied hydraulic hoses and tractor duplex outlet are clean before connecting them together.

Equipment ClearancesIt is important to check clearance before putting the Grapple Bucket into operation. Make sure hoses are long enough and won’t become pinched or entangled in the equipment. Also, make sure the bucket does not come in contact with the tractor frame and tires by carefully going through its full range of motions.

1. Visually inspect hydraulic hoses for possible pinch points and shortness. Make adjustments to the hoses before putting the equipment into service.

2. Start tractor and raise bucket approximately 36" (.39 m) off the ground.

3. If necessary, have someone stand nearby that can motion for the operator to stop if a problem develops while completing steps 4-7 below.

4. Fully extend grapple hydraulic cylinders to pivot the grapple tines down.

5. Fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders on the end of the loader arms while watching for interferences between the tractor and Grapple Bucket. Make sure hydraulic hoses are long enough and do not become pinched through the full range of motion.

6. Fully retract the grapple hydraulic cylinders to pivot the grapple tines up and repeat step 5.

7. Raise the bucket fully up and repeat steps 4-6.

Purging Hydraulic System

1. With bucket raised off the ground about 12" (30.5 cm), cycle grapple hydraulic cylinders several times from fully extended to fully retracted.

Refer to Figure 1-4 on page 11:2. Purge the hydraulic system if a cylinder operates

unevenly after cycling it several times:

a. Shut tractor down before dismounting. See “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” on page 9.

b. Loosen hoses (#9 & 10) on elbows (#5B).

c. Slowly activate lever to retract the cylinder rod and purge trapped air from the system.

d. Once all trapped air is removed, tighten hoses (#9 & #10) to elbows (#5B).

IMPORTANT: Purge hydraulic cylinders and/or hoses of air before putting the equipment into service. Not purging the system can cause uneven cylinder movement and positioning.

Operating Safety

DANGER!To avoid serious injury or death: • Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin

and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.

• Make sure the machine is stopped on solid, level ground before raising load to dump. To maintain stability, raise load only to the height necessary to complete the dump.

• Never dump a load around gas lines, overhead power lines, utilities, or other hazards that can cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion, or fire.

• Make sure all objects are contained and/or secured before lifting. Do not lift a load that cannot be contained in the attachment as the load can shift and fall.

• Do not drive up to anyone or an animal in front of a fixed object such as a wall or bench. Never assume that the power machine will stop in time.

• Keep load positioned forward enough to prevent accidental spillage on operator and power machine.

• Keep load slightly tilted back to secure its weight against the hitch frame. Tilting top of hitch frame to far back can cause load to shift and fall rearward onto the machine and/or operator. Tilting top of hitch frame to far forward can cause load to shift and fall forward.

• Use a “spotter” when it is hard to see in the direction you are traveling and when placing a load that obstructs your vision. A person or animal could be nearby in a blind spot.

• Make sure all objects are contained and/or secured before lifting. Do not lift a load that cannot be contained in the attachment as the load can shift and fall.

• Keep bystanders, pets, and livestock away from your work area. Never allow anyone to go near or under the attachment or its load. The attachment and/or load can fall.

• Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.

• 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.

Section 2: Operating Procedures

others. Use a backup camera or rear-view mirror that is in good condition to ensure the area behind the unit is clear. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for blind spots.

• Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual for operating capacity, lifting capacity, and operating specifications. Exceeding rated capacities and specifications can result in a roll-over or other serious hazard.

• Use a power machine of adequate size for the load being carried. An undersized machine can roll over when raising the loader arms due to high center of gravity.

• Do not abuse equipment. Incorrect use of the Grapple Bucket can damage equipment and cause serious injury or death.

• Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate and fall.

• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the attachment back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury or death.

• Power machines outside the listed horsepower range must not be used. Higher horsepower machines can damage the attachment. Under horsepower machines makes the job more difficult and are easier to tip over when loader arms are raised due to high center of gravity.

• Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

• Do not chain or strap loads to the loader arms, hitch, or attachment. Hitting solid objects with a load fastened to the attachment or machine can cause frame damage and/or tipping resulting in the loss of operator control.

• Do not use this attachment as a lifting device for people or as a work platform. It is not properly designed or guarded for this use.

• Do not use this attachment to lift the front or back of the power machine off the ground. Doing so can damage the attachment, power machine, and/or cause serious injury or death.

• Do not use this attachment for pulling objects out of the ground, for prying other objects, or for pushing and towing other equipment.

• Not obeying all safety instructions listed below can result in injury to the operator and other personnel.

• Always lower grapple to the ground and fully close upper jaw before dismounting to service the grapple or to park with grapple attached. Working around a grapple with the upper jaw raised or getting on and off the power machine with the loader arms not fully down can cause a crushing hazard due to accidental movement of the control levers or loss of hydraulic pressure.

• Always store attachment in a secure position so that it will not fall over.

• Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward tipping or side tipping caused by a heavy front load. Consult your power machine Operator’s Manual to determine proper weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.

• Follow recommendations in the power machine Operator’s Manual when parking or dismounting the power machine.

• Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Include eye protection when appropriate and when operating a power machine without an enclosure or protective shield. Dust and debris can get into the eyes.

• Never make contact with underground utilities such as electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion, or fire. If in doubt, call 811 (USA) before digging so that they can mark the location of underground services in the area. For contact information, see Dig Safe in the “Important Safety Information” starting on page 1.

Transport Safety

DANGER!To avoid serious injury or death: Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.

WARNING!To avoid serious injury or death: • Follow all safety precautions when transporting a load. Not

using safe transporting methods can damage the equipment and cause serious injury or death.

• Always transport loads as close to the ground as possible without hitting objects. A load carried high could shift causing the load to fall, tipping of the machine, and/or loss of control.

• Always travel straight up and straight down inclines. Never make turns on the incline.

• Transporting loads across inclines, over ramps, on bumpy, soft, or slippery surfaces reduces machine stability and lift capacity. Transporting and lifting loads under these conditions is extremely dangerous. Follow all transport instructions in your power machine Operator’s Manual.

• When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.

Grapple Bucket OperationPicking Up A Load

WARNING!To avoid serious injury or death: • Keep bystanders at a safe distance when entering and

picking up a load. Objects can shift or be thrown suddenly as the attachment makes contact with load causing serious injury or death.

• Enter pick-up zone carefully making sure no object will come through or pass the attachment into the operator’s space.

1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts under “Operating Safety” on page 17.

IMPORTANT: Do not ram attachment into a pile or hook a chain to the attachment to secure a load. Doing so can damage the attachment.

IMPORTANT: Close upper jaw with care when lifting fragile or hollow objects such as a crate. This will help protect the object from being crushed.

2. Make sure the load does not exceed the rated lift capacity of the tractor loader lifting the load.

3. Check for overhead obstructions.

4. Center bucket on the load to be picked up.

5. Make a complete stop in front of the load and position the bucket at the proper height to enter the load.

6. Fully open grapple tines and slowly drive into the load. Do not ram bucket into the load.

7. Close grapple tine to secure the load.

8. Lift load a few inches and tilt it back slightly.

9. Make sure you have good control of the load. If the load is not secure, release and recapture the load in a more secure location.

10. Back load out slowly making sure the load clears all other obstacles.

11. Not always will the load be secured properly in the bucket when pulled free from a pile. Before traveling with a loose load, lower the load to the ground, release it, and re-capture it to make it more secure.

12. Position the load at a safe, low traveling height before transferring it to the unloading site.

Traveling With A Load1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts

under “Transport Safety” on page 19.

2. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way.

3. Keep load tilted slightly back.

4. When possible, travel with bucket and load kept low to the ground.

5. Continually scan all sides for pedestrians, other traffic, and obstacles.

6. If the load is large and blocks your view, travel in reverse.

7. Always drive at a safe speed and slow down when going around corners. Avoid sudden braking.

8. Leave enough clearance when turning so that the bucket and load does not contact obstacles such as vehicles, buildings, trees, or fences.

9. When traveling over a ramp or incline, keep load on the “uphill” side of the tractor.

10. When possible, travel straight up and down grades, ramps, and inclines. Avoid making turns on grades, ramps, and inclines.

11. Raise or lower the load only when stopped, never while traveling.

12. Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain.

13. Do not transport loads on public roadways.

14. Transport on public roadways without a load and transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

15. Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

General Operating InstructionsBy now you should have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s Manual for your Grapple Bucket. If you haven’t, please do so now. If someone else is operating the tractor and Grapple Bucket, make sure they read and fully understand this manual. We cannot overstress the importance of following the safety operating procedures spelled out in this manual.

Before you begin carrying materials with your Grapple Bucket, make sure the back of the tractor has enough weight to counter-balance the overhanging weight on the front loader. Without this weight, the tractor could tip causing damage to the equipment and serious personal injury or death to the operator. This weight may be attained with ballast in the rear tires or by adding weights to the rear wheels. Check your tractor Operator’s Manual or see your nearest tractor dealer to determine the best method and correct weights to add.

You will want to determine the path you will be traveling and to check for overhead obstructions such as low hanging branches and electrical wires. Also check for drop offs, holes, rocks, stumps and other protrusions that could flip the tractor. Mark problem areas with flags and/or warning signs indicating potential problems.

Proceed by getting onto the seat of your tractor and starting it up. It isn’t going to take you long to learn how to use your new Land Pride Grapple Bucket. As you quickly become skilled and adept in using your Grapple Bucket, you will soon learn that it is important to approach the load being picked up with the bucket low and to come to a full stop in front of the load before maneuvering the bucket and grapple. While stopped, position the bucket at the proper height and open the grapple. Once the grapple is opened, proceed slowly into the load to fill the bucket. Stop to close the grapple and contain the load. With the load contained, slowly raise the bucket up several inches and tilt it back slightly. Check the load to make sure it is secured. Make sure no one is behind or on either side of tractor. Back the load out slowly while watching for pedestrian traffic and other obstacles that might get in the way. Once free, stop and recheck the load to see if it is properly secured. If not, release the load and re-clamp it to make it more secure.

You are now ready to start traveling with the load. Before starting your journey, position the load at a safe, low traveling height with the bucket tilted back slightly. Avoid fast starts and travel at a speed that does not shake the load around causing it to break loose and fall from your bucket. It is also important that you travel at a speed that does not make it difficult to control the tractor. While you are transporting, continually scan all sides for pedestrians and other traffic. Also watch for drop-offs, holes, rocks, stumps, and other protrusions that could make the load or tractor unstable. Reduce speed when turning corners and watch to make sure the load does not swing into objects such as fences, trees, and buildings. Remember, it is safer for you and less destructive to your equipment and load to not hurry.

As you approach your unloading site, start slowing the tractor down gradually. Come to a complete idle and then stop in front of the location the load is to be released. Slowly raise the load to the required height for releasing. Make sure there are no people or animals around as you move forward slowly to position the load above its final release zone. Stop to release the load. Releasing the load requires a combination of tilting the front of the bucket down, opening the grapple up, and raising the loader arms to clear the released material. The order in which the load is released will vary depending on type of material being released. The most important objective is to have the load under control throughout the release.

Once the load has settled, slowly back up making sure the bucket clears all objects and there are no pedestrians or other traffic behind or on either side of the tractor and bucket. When the tractor and bucket is completely removed from the released load, you can readjust the bucket and grapple to a safe low traveling height and return to the field to pick up your next load.

In no time at all, you will find that you will quickly become very adept, handy, and skillful at using your new Land Pride Grapple Bucket.

See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 29 and “Features & Benefits” on page 30 of your Operator’s Manual for additional information.

MaintenanceProper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of any implement. With careful inspection and routine maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.

Check all bolts and pins after using the bucket for several hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are tight and secured.

Check hitch fit-up, hydraulic hoses, and fittings on a regular basis to ensure trash or other objects have not loosened the hitch connection or damaged hydraulic hoses and fittings.

Replace worn, damaged, or missing bucket parts only with genuine Land Pride parts.

Replace illegible or missing safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride dealer.

DANGER!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.

• Do not let children play on or around the attachment including when stored. Children and/or attachment can fall.

WARNING!To avoid serious injury or death: • Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause

the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate and fall.

• Check hydraulic hoses and fittings frequently. Brush and other debris can damage hoses and fittings causing the load to release and fall.

• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks, and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the implement back into service.

• Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.

Section 3: Maintenance & Lubrication

Hydraulic System

WARNING!To avoid serious injury or death: Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.One of the most important things you can do to prevent hydraulic system problems is to ensure your power machine’s reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching them to your power machine. Replace hydraulic filter elements at the prescribed intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of control valve, hydraulic cylinder, and hydraulic motor problems.

Check for signs of damaged or worn hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders before each use of the equipment. Replace damaged components as needed. Order only genuine Kubota parts from your local Kubota dealer.

Troubleshooting Chart

Problem Cause Solution

Cannot lift load Insufficient power to lift load.Reduce load on bucket or switch to a tractor that is rated for more lift capacity.

Hydraulic hoses are stretched and/or damaged

Hydraulic hoses are catching on tree limbs, debris, or other solid objects.

Replace hydraulic hoses. Stay away from objects that can catch on hydraulic hoses. Stop immediately if hoses are catching on an object and remove object. If helpful, readjust hose routing.

Hydraulic fittings are damaged

Hydraulic hoses and/or fittings are catching on tree limbs, debris, or other solid objects causing fittings to become damaged.

Replace hydraulic fittings. Stay away from objects that can catch on hydraulic hoses. Stop immediately if hoses are catching on an object and remove object. If helpful, readjust hose routing.

Jaws don’t sufficiently clamp tight on a load

A load taken from a pile can be too bulky to properly clamp while in the pile.

Re-clamp load once load is free from pile.

Tractor can not maintain pressure Install counter balance valve.

Upper jaw does not operate

Hydraulic hoses are not coupled to tractor. Reattach couplers to tractor.

Hydraulic hoses and/or fittings are damaged.

See “Hydraulic hoses are stretched and/or damaged” and “Hydraulic fittings are damaged” above.

Load is shifting

Hitch is not properly attached to tractor. Always make certain hitch is properly attached before lifting a load. Reattach hitch to tractor if loose.

Load is being carried too high.Recommended carrying height is as close to ground as possible without hitting objects.

Traveling and/or turning too fast.Reduce speed to a safe non-bouncing speed.

Traveling sideways to an incline. Travel straight up and down inclines.

Jaws not clamped tight against the load. Re-clamp load in an open area.

Load is not centered in grapple. Center load on bucket.

Traveling with load tilted down at the front.Keep load slightly tilted back to secure its weight against the bucket.

Tines are bent. Replace bent tines.

Traveling forward while going down an incline with a slope in excess of 10 percent (5.7 degrees).

Back down steep inclines.

Tines are bending or breaking

The load’s center of gravity is not centered in the grapple.

Reposition load so that the load’s center of gravity is centered in the bucket.

Load is too heavy for the grapple. Lift lighter loads.

Ramming grapple into the ground or load. Never ram with grapple.

Striking solid objects with the grapple.

Watch for objects while moving and allow clearance when making turns. Inspect area thoroughly before working in it and place markers, such as flags, to indicate potential hazards.

Prying objects out of the ground. Never use grapple to pry objects.

Wedging objects between tines of grapple.Do not wedge objects between tines of grapple.
