I have informed the Purchaser of this product of Warranty terms, provisions, and procedures that are applicable, reviewed the contents of the Operator's Manual
including safety equipment, safe operation, and maintenance, reviewed the Safety Signs on implement (and tractor if possible), and Purchaser's responsibility to
train his operators in safe operation.
IMPLEMENTS: I have explained that Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Solid Skirts must be maintained in good repair and installed except in areas where persons,
vehicles, livestock, or other property will not be endangered by thrown objects and where such safety equipment would prevent the mower's reasonable performance
of its assigned task.
DRIVELINES: I have made certain that all driveline, gearbox, and other shields are in good repair and fastened securely in place to prevent injuries from
entanglement or thrown objects.
HYDRAULIC MACHINES: I have explained the necessity of using clean hydraulic oil, changing filters as instructed, stopping leaks, damage caused by
operating with over-heated oil, caring for hoses, using hoses of proper rating, the necessity of maintaining the specified operating pressure, and the potential
hazard of oil's penetrating the skin.
BOOM-TYPE or FOLDING-TYPE IMPLEMENTS: I have explained that it is not possible to guard against thrown objects when the head is lifted off
ground and that operator is responsible to watch out for persons in the area. I have explained that the lifted mower head or boom can contact overhead
obstructions with damage to cables and telephone lines and possible injury. I have explained that the extended head or boom or retracted boom can contact power
lines with resulting electrocution injury or death and that operator is responsible for keeping clear of such hazards.
I have been instructed on the paragraphs above, received and have been instructed in the contents of the Operator's Manual including safety signs, safety
equipment, safe operation, maintenance, and the potential hazards of unauthorized alteration or modification of the product. I have been informed of the warranty
provisions and know that the warranty is not in effect until this form is received by Alamo Group.
I understand the Implement Guarding statements above and the potential hazards of operating without such guards. I understand that the operator is responsible
for the safety of others in the area. I have examined the product and accept it as being complete and in satisfactory condition with all required guards.

  • Page 8: Before You Start

    TO THE OWNER/OPERATOR/DEALER All implements with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes the potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices. The manufacturer has designed this implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance of accidents. BEFORE YOU START!! Read the safety messages on the implement and shown in your manual.

    SAFETY SECTION Safety Section 1-1...
  • Page 12 SAFETY A safe and careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufac- turer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death.
  • Page 13 SAFETY PELIGRO! Si no lee Ingles, pida ayuda a alguien que ¡LEA EL si lo lea para que le traduzca las medidas INSTRUCTIVO! de seguridad. (SG-3) Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and DANGER! completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement.
  • Page 14 SAFETY Never allow children to operate or ride on the Tractor or Implement. DANGER! (SG-11) WARNING! Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped. (SG-12) DANGER! Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat.
  • Page 15 SAFETY PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE CAUTION! PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss.
  • Page 16 SAFETY WARNING! Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.
  • Page 17 SAFETY DANGER! Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or Implement may cause serious injury or death. (SG-29) WARNING! Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting.
  • Page 18 SAFETY Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and WARNING! mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph. 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.
  • Page 19 SAFETY Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any WARNING! reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from the Blades.
  • Page 20 SAFETY Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO WARNING! and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly.
  • Page 21 These parts are made and tested to Alamo Industrial specifications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit” parts may reduce mower performance, void mower warranties, and present a safety hazard.
  • Page 22 SAFETY ATTENTION! This unit was shipped with an Operator’s Manual Specifically designed to remain with the unit at all times. This manual is to be stored in the protective canister shipped with this unit. Because it is not feasible to attach the protective canister to the unit directly due to severe conditions in which it operates, the canister must be installed in a secure area such as the operator’s station.
