Page 56
TIGER SIDE AND REAR FLAIL MOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Tiger Side and Rear flail mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed for cutting grass and small weeds. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective.
1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor.
2. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power, capacity and required equipment to safely operate the mower at a ground speed between 2 and 5 MPH. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not meet the following requirements may cause tractor or mower damage and could be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
2.4 Front End Weight Maintain a minimum of 20% total tractor weight on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering ability and to prevent the front end from rearing up. Consult your authorized tractor dealer for front weights and carriers.
Page 60
3.1 Boarding the Tractor Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt around you. Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment.
4. STARTING THE TRACTOR The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed. Essential Tractor Controls: •...

Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. 5.1 Connecting the Rear Flail to the Tractor 1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft.
Page 63
5.2 Connecting the Side Flails to the Tractor 1. Install the Draft Beam onto the Main Frame. 2. Raise the Draft Beam to line up with the the ‘ears’ on the Side Flail and install Pins and hardware. 3. Connect the Linkage and Cylinder to the Side Flail for a Combo Lift set-up or route and connect the cable to the Side Flail if it’s a Cable Lift set-up.
6. SETTING THE MOWER Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive.
Set cutting height according to procedures above for remaining two cutter sections. Make sure that all three rollers are set at the same height to ensure an even cut across the entire width of the mower. 6.2 Leveling Rear Flail Deck To facilitate a safe and efficient mowing operation, the mower should be operated parallel to the ground at all times.
Page 66
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft.

Make sure the mower is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and all hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
9. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport.
Page 75
9.1 Starting the Tractor The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor.
Page 76
OPERATION Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise the mower off the ground about 6”, or just high enough to clear any ground obstacles. When raising the mower, make sure all connection points are securely attached and at least 1” clearance is maintained between the driveline and the deck.
Page 77
9.4 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid (driveline is at its extreme shortest length).
Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such an approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path.
Page 79
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death.
Page 80
Flail Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully. STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 300 FEET UNLESS: -Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good, workable condition;...
Page 81
10.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). Operate the mower at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground speed.
Page 82
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed. (SGM-11) Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower.
OPERATION 10.6 Shutting Down the Implement To shut down the implement, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Then slow down the implement by reducing the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait for all motion to stop before proceeding to drive or shut down the tractor.
Page 84
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches. Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.
12. MOWER STORAGE It is recommended that the mower be stored with the center section and both side mowers fully lowered to ground level. If the mower is stored with the side mowers in the raised position, select a level area and engage travel locks and travel lock pins to prevent the side mowers from falling BEFORE disconnecting the mower rear mower.
13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations.
Page 87
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together. pedals ensures that both simultaneously while stopping, especially when making an emergency stop. Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes when carrying equipment at road speeds.
Page 88
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations. The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is universal symbol used to alert drivers of the presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a slow speed.
