Operating The Attached Mower Heads - Alamo PA92 Operator's Manual

11.6 Operating the Attached Mower Heads

Refer to the Assembly Section of this manual to ensure the head is properly attached to the boom hitch and
hydraulic lines are properly connected.
There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or even
death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator,
bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with
anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone is within 100 yards
of mower.
Rotary Cutter
• Objects tend to be thrown out from under the
head in the direction of blade rotation and
toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid
cutting with the head tilted at an angle that
objects would be thrown towards the tractor
operator position.
• When clearing brush and small trees,
operate tractor at 1 mph ground speed and
position cutter head at an angle that will cut
2' to 3' into the growth. Make the first pass
just above ground level. This will remove the
low branches and allow operator a better
view of the material to plan for the next pass.
After repeated passes,
approximately 4' above the last, the main
trunks of the trees will be exposed and they
can be cut as desired. This avoids clogging
the head with cut and mulched material.
• When operating near the ground or when
mulching be particularly careful that there
are no bystanders or animals with a 100
yards. Debris tends to fly out at great speed
and can injure or even cause death.
