Standard *Safety Deflectors are standard equipment. Single and double chain guards are available as extra equipment at extra cost. Alamo Industrial recommends mowers be equipped with deflectors or double chain guards for all mowing purposes. Single chain guards may be used for agriculture purposes only and are specifically not recommended for highway, right-of-way, parks or greenbelt mowing.
OPERATION 1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS Safe operation of the rotary mower is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands both the mower and tractor Operator Manuals and is experienced in tractor and mower operations and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety message decals are affixed to the mower and tractor.
OPERATION 2. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the Power Take Off (PTO) at the mower’s rated speed while traveling 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 be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
OPERATION 2.3 Tractor Horsepower The horsepower required to operate the mower depends on several operating factors including the vegetation to be cut, terrain condition, operator experience, condition of the mower and tractor, and others. For most mowing conditions, the A10-IV and A15-IV mower requires a tractor with a minimum of 40 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.
OPERATION 2.6 Front End Weight A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires.
OPERATION 3. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the mower and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not fully understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation. WARNING! Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving.
OPERATION DANGER! BEFORE leaving the Tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set the Tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the Tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the Tractor from rolling.
OPERATION 5. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or on blocks. Place a block in front of and behind the center section wheels to prevent the mower from moving.
OPERATION 5.2 Connecting Mower Hydraulic Lines to the Tractor With the tractor shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the tractor by moving the control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position. Keep hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination.
OPERATION Hydraulic Line Support Support the hydraulic hoses with the equipped brackets. Ensure that hoses do not contact the driveline, do not bind while turning, and do not become pinched or kinked. Hydraulic Cylinder Priming Cylinders must be filled with hydraulic oil before removing transport braces to lower wing sections. Fill cylinders and lines by holding the control valves to fully extend (axle cylinders) and retract (wing cylinders).
OPERATION LEVELING WING SECTION CUTTING HEIGHT If the mower is not equipped with a Level Lift Hydraulic Cylinder System, the mower wings must be manually adjusted to the same cutting height as the mower center section. The height of the mower wing in its operating position is manually set by adjusting the length of the lift screw assembly.
OPERATION 7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt free and greased for attachment. To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those of the PTO shaft.
Page 56
OPERATION “ Bottoming Out” Check Procedure 1. Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide the profiles together until fully compressed. 2. Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield and reattach the driveline to the PTO shaft.
OPERATION 7.2 Constant Velocity (CV) Driveline For mowers equipped with a Constant Velocity (CV) driveline, the maximum turning angle between the tractor and mower must be determined to ensure the joint angle does not over-extend which can cause CV joint damage. Constant Velocity joints enable the driveline to operate smoothly with no vibrations and clattering at angles up to 70°.
OPERATION 8. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the mower and tractor must be performed. This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped and functional, and performing needed repairs. Do not operate the mower and tractor if the pre-operation inspection reveals any condition affecting safe operation.
OPERATION 8.1 Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service Refer to the tractor operator’s manual to ensure a complete pre-operation inspection and scheduled service is performed according to manufacturer recommendations. The following is a partial list of items requiring inspection: Tire condition/air pressure Wheel lug bolts Steering linkage PTO shield SMV sign is clean and visible...
Page 60
OPERATION Ensure that the Manual Canister is secured to the mower with the Operator’s Manual inside. Ensure all decals are in place and legible. Replace missing, worn, and unlegible decals. NOTE: The mower Operator’s Manual and affixed Decals contain important instructions on the safe and proper use of the mower.
Page 61
OPERATION Perform scheduled lubrication as specified in the maintenance section. Inspect each gearbox oil level and replenish if needed. A low oil level is a warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged and needs to be replaced. Ensure all gearbox vents are in place and free from clogs.
OPERATION 9. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER 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 mower and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport.
OPERATION 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 PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor.
OPERATION 9.3 Operating the Mower Wings Wings are positioned with hydraulic cylinders. It is recommended that the tractor be equipped with three hydraulic ports or a 3-spool control valve be used so that each section can be controlled independently. Ensure the hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled with oil by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the cylinders fully retract (wings) and extend (center).
OPERATION 9.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.
OPERATION 9.5 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).
OPERATION 10. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND MOWER AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOW. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the mower and tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read.
Page 68
OPERATION If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all mower rotating motion to stop, then raise the mower and move the tractor and implement off the object.
OPERATION 10.3 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO) Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. The mower wings must be completely lowered and the deck positioned at a safe mowing height. NEVER engage the PTO with the mower wings in the raised position.
OPERATION 10.5 Operating the Mower Only operate the mower from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. The tractor must be equipped with a ROPS in the raised position or a ROPS cab. The mower is designed to cut vegetation up to 2” in diameter. Sharp blades will produce a cleaner cut and require less power.
Page 71
OPERATION When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all mower rotation to come to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the mower.
Page 72
OPERATION Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be mowed in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut. In such conditions, raise the cutting height up to 15” on the first pass. Then lower the mower to the desired height and mow the vegetation a second time.
OPERATION 10.6 Shutting Down the Mower To shut down the mower, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Then slow down the mower by reducing the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait for all rotating motion to stop before proceeding to drive or shut down the tractor.
OPERATION 11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR DANGER! 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. (S3PT-15) WARNING! Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack.
OPERATION 12. MOWER STORAGE It is recommended that the mower be stored with the center section and both wings fully lowered to ground level. If the mower is stored with the wings in the raised position, select a level area and install wing retaining arms to prevent the wings from falling BEFORE disconnecting the mower hitch from the tractor.
OPERATION 13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and mower between locations.
OPERATION Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping, especially when making an emergency stop. Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds.
OPERATION 13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways WARNING! Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem.
Page 79
OPERATION Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/taillights are functioning properly before proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to provide warning signals and operating lighting, most older models where only equipped with operating lights. Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models.
OPERATION 13.2 Hauling the Tractor and Mower Before transporting a loaded tractor and mower, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the areas that will be traveled through.
