OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 2410F Weatherproofer I is designed to be
pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type
hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. If your
Weatherproofer is equipped with the clevis option, this
should be removed. The clevis option is only for transport
use. Before attaching the Weatherproofer, prepare the
tractor as follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Weatherproofer Preparation
1. Prior to operating the 2410F Weatherproofer I,
inspect it thoroughly for good operating condition.
2. Replace worn or missing parts.
3. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the gauge wheel lug bolts daily.
4. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressures listed on
the sidewall of the tires.
5. Check disc scrapers for proper adjustment to the disc
blade (See Figure 4-1.)
a. Loosen U-bolts. Slide scraper assembly to adjust
clearance to 1/8" to 1/4".
IMPORTANT
Under certain conditions, it may be beneficial to set
scrapers as much as 1" away from the discs.
6. Lubricate the machine as shown in “Lubrication
Maintenance” on page 4-10 (See Figure 4-11.)

Attaching to the Tractor
1. Align the tractor drawbar with the machine. Attach
the unit with proper size hitch pin. Attach safety chain
and plug in light plug.
2. Clean all hydraulic couplings and attach to the
tractor. When properly attached, the hydraulic control
lever should cause the Weatherproofer to:
a. Lower to the ground when the control arm is
moved forward or downward, and
b. Raise when the control arm is moved backward
or upward.
3. Fully extend the hydraulic gauge wheel cylinders,
and place the cylinder lockouts in the transport lock
position over the cylinder rods. Secure the lockouts
with the lockout pins.
4. Always place the swivel jack on the interior mount
before setting the machine in motion. Remove rear
jack stand if an attachment is used.
