Safety Section 1-12

© 2010 Alamo Group Inc.

Mow at  the speed  that you can safely operate and control  the  tractor and mower. The

correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of

cut.   Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph).   Use  slow mowing speeds

when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power

lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided. 

 (SGM-07)

Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible.   Check to make sure there are no

persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse.   Mow only at a

slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower.

Never mow an area  that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

(SGM-08)

Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows

closed.  

(SGM-11)

The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific

size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications).  DO NOT use this

mower to cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non-

vegetative material.  Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor.

Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the

Mower with the wrong size Tractor can cause Mower component damage and equipment

failure resulting in possible serious injury or death. 

 (SGM-14)

Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised

position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the

implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might

inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not

put hands or feet under lifted components. 

 (SPU-3)

Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields

are installed when using PTO-driven equipment.   Always replace any

shield if it is damaged or missing.

   (S3PT-8)

Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations.   Any change in calibration could

cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury.  

(SBH-13)

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement.

Place the Mower Head on the ground or securely supported on blocks or stands, disengage

the PTO, and turn off the engine.  Push and pull the control Levers or Joystick several times

to relieve pressure prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.
