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.

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 blad es 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)

(SFL-4)

SAFETY

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)

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.

Ext

M M

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.

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-02)

(SGM-4)

SAFETY

reme 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)

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.

The M

ifi

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.

-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)

SAFETY

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.

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.

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.

(SGM-14)

(SGM-15)

(SPU-1)

GRASS KING 03/09 Safety Section 1-9

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 mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce

SAFETY

wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and make the final cut more uniform).

(SRM-01)

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY

Only t

Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the

equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:

Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care

SAFETY

and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and r educe your speed. Be aware of traf fic around you and watch out for the other guy.

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement using the tractor. Turn curves or

go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that

at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow

down on rough or uneven surfaces.

ow 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 truc k or othe r type of ve hicle. N eve r tow the Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.

Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.

ASSEMBLY SECTION

Assembly Section 3-1

ASSEMBLY

The GRASS KING will attach to most tractors with Cat I or Cat II Hitch and 540 PTO RPM.

TRACTOR PREPARATION

For satisfactory operation the Grass King machine should be attached to tractors that are of sufficient size and horse power. The Grass King flail mower requires a minim um 40 horse power and a minimum base trac tor weight of 4500 pounds. The Grass King rotary mower requires a minimum 50 horse power and a minimum base tractor weight of 6000 pounds. In addition, the left rear tire should have a full charge of liquid ballast. The rotary Grass King requires that the rear tractor tires be spread to a minimum 96 inches outside dimension. Note: When attaching the rotary Grass King head to the tractor, it may be necessary to move the main frame further to the right if the head h its the tire when the head is tilted up. This is done by loosening the bolts that attach the hitch weldment to the mainframe weldment and sliding the frame to the right. It may be necessary to loosen the pump suction line and readjust in order to prevent the hose from kinking when adjusting the frame. In order to move the frame the maximum amount to the right, the hitch weldment attachment bolts on the right hand side will have to be completely removed so that the hitch can be positioned on the left side of the cylinder lug. (See A-frame illustration in the parts section).

3.2 Tractor Safety Devices

If transporting or operating the tractor and mower near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured.

Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tr acto r or mower. Never operate the tractor PTO with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.

GRASS KING 03/09 Operation Section 4-5

OPERATION

3.3 Tractor Horsepower

The horsepower required to operate the mower depends on many factors including the vegetation to be cut, terrain condition, operator experience, and condition of the mower and tractor. For most mowing condition, the Grass king flail mower require a tractor with at least 90HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.

3.4 3-Point Hitch

The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least 1720 lbs. when attaching a 62 “ Grass King flail and 1870 lbs. when attaching a 74” Grass King flail.

Grass King flail mowers can attach to tractors with a CAT I and CAT II hitch. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for the category of the tractor used. If the hitch does not conform to ASAE CAT I or CAT II dimensions, the mower may not fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized dealer for

OPERATION

possible modification procedures to mount nonconforming hitches.

Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category being used. For a Cat I hitch, 7/8” lower and 3/4” upper diameter hitch pins are used and Cat II hitches require 1-1/8” lower and 1” upper diameter hitch pins. OPS-F-0036

3.5 Tractor Hydraulics

The Grass King Flail must use a tractor with 540 RPM PTO, single remote hydraulic connection and three-point hitch. NOTE: Remote hydraulic connection and three-point hitch must work at the same t ime. A four-bar folding linkage allows the single hydraulic cylinder to position the flail mower from 45° down for ditch bank trimming through 90° up for transport.

3.6 Front End Weight

Maintain a minimum of 20% total tractor weight on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering ability and to prevent the front end from rearing up. Consult your authorized tractor dealer for front weights and carriers.

GRASS KING 03/09 Operation Section 4-6

OPERATION

3.7 Power Take Off (PTO)

Only operate the mower on a tractor equipped to operate at 540 RPM PTO speed. Tractors operating at 540 rpm will have a 1-3/8” diameter 6-spline PTO shaft stub. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for operating the PTO at the proper speed

If operating an older model tractor where the tractor’s transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an over-running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. Consult an authorized tractor dealer to purchase and install an over-running clutch if ne eded.

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.
