Crossing Ditches And Steep Inclines - Alamo Industrial FALCON 15/10 Operator's Manual

9.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines

When crossing ditches with steep banks or going
up sharp inclines, it is possible that the hoses
between the pump and the mower can be kinked
and damaged. This type of abusive operation can
cause serious damage to the tractor and mower by
causing the hoses to fail or by constricting the oil
flow causing excessive heat. DO NOT OPERATE
WITH DAMAGED HOSES!
Damage resulting from excessive
bending or twisting of the hoses could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders and/
or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement.
OPS-R-0020_C
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not
approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damage to the hoses may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the implement should
be fully lowered for a lower center of gravity and
added stability. OPS-R-0021_C
