In order to reduce accidents and enhance the safe operation of mowers, Alamo Industrial, in cooperation with other industry manufacturers has developed the AEM/FEMA Industrial and Agricultural Mower Safety Practices video and guide book.

The video will familiarize and instruct mower-tractor operators in safe practices when using industrial and agricultural mowing equipment. It is important that Every Mower Operator be educated in the operation of their mowing equipment and be able to recognize the potential hazards that can occur while operating a mower. This video, along with the mower operator ’s manual and the warning messages on the mower, will significantly assist in this important education.

Your Authorized Alamo Industrial Dealer may have shown this video and presented you a DVD Video when you purchased your mower. If you or any mower operator have not seen this video, Watch the Video, Read this Operator ’s Manual, and Complete the Video Guidebook before operating your new mower. If you do not understand any of the instructions included in the video or operator ’s manual or if you have any questions concerning safety of operation, contact your supervisor, dealer or Alamo Indus- trial.

If you would like a VHS video tape of the video, please email AEMVideo@alamo-group.com or Fax AEM VHS Video at (830) 372-9529 or mail in a completed copy of the form on the back of this page to AEM VHS Video 1502 E Walnut Street, Seguin, TX 78155. and request the VHS video version. Please include your name, mailing address, mower model and serial number.

Every operator should be trained for each piece of equipment (Tractor and Mower), understand the intended use, and the potential hazards before operating the equipment.

General Safety Instructions and Practices

A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator . Most accident s ca n be avo ided by bein g aware of yo ur equipm ent, your surroun dings, 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. Read and understand these Safety Messages before assembling, operating or servicing this Implement. This equipment should only be operated by those persons who have read the manual, who are responsible and trained, and who know how to do so responsibly.

The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen below, is used throughout this manual and on decals which are attached to the equipment. The Safety Alert Symbol means: “ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!” The Symbol and Signal Word are intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced when operating this equipment.

SAFETY

Operator Safety Instructions and Practices

The rotating parts of this machine co ntinue to rot ate ev en after the PT O has been turned of f. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.

Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch. Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling underneath to perform repairs and service.

SAFETY

ever operate the Tractor or Implement un

you have read an 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. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the Tractor and Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

(SG-4)

The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by the equipment.

(SG-16)

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE 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. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss. NOTE: H earing loss from loud noise

[from tractors, chain saws, radios, a nd other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

SAFETY

Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determ ine 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. Operating the Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury , or even death, never allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing.

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved rollover-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling of f the tractor --particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

(SG-7)

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. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor contr ols from the tractor seat only.

(SG-9)

(SFL-4)

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

(SG-10)

Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.

(SG-11)

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

SAFETY

Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards(90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objec ts. If you are unab le to clear ly see thes e type of ite ms discontinue mowing.

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.

(SGM-02)

The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

(SGM-1)

(SGM-4)

xtreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects suc

as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be clearly mark ed and carefully a vo ide d b y th e operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced before resuming mowing.

(SGM-05)

any varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.

(SGM-06)

ow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). 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.

(SGM-07)

RX60/72/84 03/09 Safety Section 1-8

SAFETY

The M

ifi

Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

(SGM-08)

Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.

Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:

-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.

-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.

-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.

-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.

-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.

(SGM-11)

SAFETY

-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tra ctor an d Mo we r and cl ean clip pings an d collected debris fro m the mower deck.

(SGM-12)

ower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a spec size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this mower to cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of nonvegetative material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor. Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong size Tractor can cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in possible serious injury or death.

(SGM-14)

Do not operate or pull the mower into standing water. When uplift or fan type mower blades contact water they can be severely deflected downward causing possible failure of blade resulting in serious boldly injury to the operator or by standers.

(SGM-15)

Use extreme caution when raising the Mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from turning when the Mower is raised and passersby are within 100 yards. Raising the Mower exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious injury by objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades.

(SPU-1)

RX60/72/84 03/09 Safety Section 1-9

Page 18

SAFETY

Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.

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;

-Passersby 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

SAFETY

mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and make the final cut more uniform).

Do not turn so sharp or lift mower so high to produce a severe "knocking" of the Driveline which will cause accelerated wear and breakage of drive train components and could result in possible injury from the separated Driveline sections.

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any 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.

(SRM-07)

(SRM-04)

Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices

DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor

PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

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.

Never operate the Tractor and Mower if the Implement input driveline is directly connected to the Tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by the momentum of the rotating Mower blades driving the Tractor transmission even though the Tractor clutch has been dise nga ge d. Install an over running clutch between the Tractor PTO and the Mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation.

SAFETY

en attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the Implement.

(S3PT-17)

Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly beco mes solid-it c an shorten no m ore. Bottomin g out can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause personal injury.

(S3PT-18)

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough o uneven surfaces to prevent lo ss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.

INTRODUCTION

This Rotary Mower is designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper assembly, maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get years of satisfactory service from the machine.

The purpose of this manual is to familiarize, instruct, and train. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/ operator in the correct assembly of the Mower using standard and optional equipment.

Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Mower correctly and attend to appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties with mower and offers solution to the problems.

Safety is of primary importance to the owner/opera tor an d to the ma nufa ctur er. 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. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/operator/dealer should know these Safety Messages before as sembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this mo wer during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impe nding hazards and the degre e of possible injury faced

INTRODUCTION

when operating this machine. Alamo Industrial typically offers three types of shielding to protect the operator, passerby, livestock, and

property from thrown objects... deflectors, single chain guards, and double chainguards. Shielding should be selected based on the intended use of the mower. Double chainguards or deflectors should be used for highway, right-of-way, parks or greenbelt mowing or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within 300 feet of the mower. Chainguards are more durable, provide a longer service life and require less maintenance and replacement than deflectors. Single chainguards may be sufficient for agriculture and other mower use only where passersby or property are not within 300 feet of the mower during operation.

No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. The possibility of injury and property damage from this hazard can be substantially reduce by selecting proper shielding, maintaining the mower and shielding in good operational condition, inspecting the area for foreign debris before mowing, operating the mower at a minimum cutting height of 4”, and keeping persons at a minimum distance of 300 feet from the mower at all times during operation.

OFFSET ADAPTER HITCH (EXTRA EQUIPMENT)

1. Fasten the Offset Adapter Hitch Weldment to the lift lugs using the Hitch Pin holes. Fasten the Adjustable Leg to the left side lug if the Mower is to offset to the left. The Mower will make a cleaner cut behind the wheel tracks if it is offset to the left. Reverse the Assembly for right offset.

2. Install the Brace Bars. Fasten the chain end to the rear mounting hole in the Gearbox Base Plate. Adjust the Brace Bar so the Hitch Assembly is nearly perpendicular.

3. Attach the Mower to the tractor. Install stabilizer bars or adjust sway chains to prevent side sway of the mower.

Stabilizer Bars or Sway Chains must be installed and adjusted tightly. Without these bars or chains, serious damage to the Driveline can occur, and broken parts could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders. Stabilizer Bars or Sway Chains are available at most tractor dealerships.

4. Raise the mower to ch eck clearan ce betwe en the Drive line and Mower Deck. Set the lif t stop on the tractor to ascertain that the Driveline does not strike the deck.

For additional safety in transport, raise mower as high as possible without having driveline hit deck and shorten check chains as much as possible to prevent inadvertent falling in transport.
