STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed
and in good, workable condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the
ground without exposed Blades;
-Passerby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material
such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: inspected
and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate height, inspected,
closely with any remaining debris being removed, and mowed again
at desired final height. (This will also reduce power requiredto mow,
reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material
better, eliminate streaking, and make the final cut more uniform.)
DANGER!
Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing.
Entanglement of the clothing with the rotating elements can result in
serious injury or even death. Stay clear of all rotating elements at all

supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death.
Alamo Industrial mowers use balanced and matched system components for blade carriers, blades,
cuttershafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain components, and bearings. 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. Use genuine Alamo Industrial mower parts for economy and safety.
In addition to the design and configuration of this Implement, including Safety Signs and
Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the opera-
tion, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety Messages
and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor and Equip-
ment Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor and
Equipment.
