Mower Operation - Tiger JD 5083E Mounting And Operating Instructions

To unstow the boom from the boom rest, slowly lift the boom up and away from 3-
point mounted boom rest and cab. Damage to the mower or the tractor cab may
result if operator does not exercise caution whenever stowing or unstowing the boom.
When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken
when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris.
These conditions should be avoided.
The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard
rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity.
Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such
objects prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
Once on location, lower the mower deck slightly above the material to be cut, so
the mower does not have to start under a load. With the tractor at an idle, engage
mower. Bring tractor R.P.M. up to 2200 - 2400 R.P.M. and slowly lower deck to
ground level.
A flail mower deck should be carried so that part of the deck weight is carried by
the boom and part carried by the ground roller, when mowing on the ground. When
the flail mower is carried this way, the ground roller follows the contour of the ground
more easily during mowing operations.
When using the rotary cutting head for trimming trees and shrubs, let the
mower saw into them. Do not lower the mower head down directly onto a
tree or stump. The mower blades are designed to cut with the end, and
misuse can cause damage to the blade and a hazardous situation for the
operator.
Powering the boom down, forcing mower deck onto ground may damage
mower deck and it's attachment to the boom, creating a potentially
hazardous situation.
