SAFETY
DANGER!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-4)
WARNING!
SAFETY
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
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 marked and carefully avoided by
the 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.

WARNING!
Many 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-6)
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
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. (SGM-7)
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-8)
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-9)

DANGER!
WARNING!
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing
objects for great distances(100 yards 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 are installed and in good,
working condition;
-Mower Head is 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:
Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1,000 pounds contact with
the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which
could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel
tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions
or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Couterweight
Procedure. (SFL-3)
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 removed,
and mowed again at desired final height. (SBM-1)
SAFETY
WARNING!
WARNING!
DANGER!
Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO
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. 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. (SFL-4)
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-7)
Use extreme caution when raising the Mower head. Stop the Blades
from turning when the Mower Head is raised and passersby are within
100 yards. Raising the Mower head 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.

FINAL PREPARA TION FOR OPERATION
Place operators safety and operation decals on the steering column and side
counsel where they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be
understood by each operator of the machine in conjunction with the safety and
operation section of this book. The decals are to remain in good condition as a
reminder to the operator, and should be replaced if damaged.
Double check that all pivot points have been greased. Secure all hoses together with
zip ties and wrap with split hose sections where friction may occur on the hose.
BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and
understand the safety and operation sections of this manual
completely.
Before operating the mower, the cutter head and draft beam should be slowly
moved throughout the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that would cause
pinching or excess stress on the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should
also be carefully moved through their full range of motion. If any condition occurs in
which the hoses contact the tires, the steering and / or front axle travel may need to
be limited as described in the tractor operators manual. This should also be done if
the tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of the mower such as the
hydraulic tank or draft beam. This may include adding shims, or adjusting stop bolts
in the tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion, you should also
check that the control circuits are connected according to the operators decal for the
valve handles.
MOWER TESTING
Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the
cylinders through their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air. Follow the
instructions in the operation section to operate the mower. Vibration of the mower
should be minimal at all times. Af ter a 5 minute test run, the knife bolt s should be
retorqued and once again after the first few hours of operation.

Before any operation of tractor and mower, the user should read and
understand the safety and operating instructions for both the tractor and
the mower. The user should also be familiar with the location and
functions of the units instruments and controls. Being familiar with the
machine and it’s controls will increase efficiency and reduce possibility of
serious injury or damage to the unit. The operator should work slowly and carefully
until he feels comfortable with the machine. Speed and skill will be att ained much
easier if the necessary time is spent to familiarize yourself with the machine and its
operations.
Since tractor makes and models vary, we recommend reading and following the
operators manual provided by the manufacturer pertaining to your particular unit.
Side Rtry Operation Section 3-2

OPERATION
STARTING TRACTOR AND MOWER
Check the operators manual received from the tractor manufacturer, for
their recommendation and procedures pertaining to your particular make and model.
When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet of the machine when mower is in operation.
Be sure the ball valves on the mower hydraulic tank are OPEN before
starting the tractor. Serious damage to the hydraulic system can occur if
the valves are not open.
Check to make sure mower switch is in the “OFF” position. The unit is
designed not to start if the switch is in the “on” position. If tractor starts
with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for
assistance.
Start the tractor and allow the instruments to stabilize. Without starting the
mower, practice positioning the boom and deck. Remember, speed and skill will be
attained easier if the necessary time is spent familiarizing yourself with the machine
and its operations. When you feel comfortable at controlling the position of the
mower, return the mower to the travel position, and transport the mower to the
desired mowing location.
If mowing for the first time with a Tiger Boom Mower, we recommend choosing a
ditch or area relatively flat with a minimum of sign posts, guard rails, etc. As always,
you should inspect the area for other objects that can cause potential hazards.
The Mower Control switch turns the mower “ON” and “OFF”. This switch is to be
in the “OFF” position to start the tractor. The tractor will not start with the switch in
the “ON” position.
If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact
your local Tiger dealership for assistance.
CONTROL LOCATION AND FUNCTIONS
The side mower height is controlled with a two or three spool valve and is
coordinated as shown below. The optional three spool valve allows for the operation
of a rear rotary mower or side ditcher . If the unit is equipped with a three spool valve,
do not operate the third spool handle unless a rear rotary or ditcher is mounted.
Side Rtry Operation Section 3-3
Page 48
OPERATION
The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow the
instructions for this control is the tractor operators manual. The tilt of the rear mower is
controlled with the third spool if the lift valve and is coordinated as shown above.
The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractors
remote hydraulic connections or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If so,
determine which position of the side or rear mower is to be controlled be each remote
lever.
The side mower ON / OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve stand
or cable controls for non-cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear mower, the ON
/ OFF switch is located in the switch box with a side mower switch.
This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp gauge
or oil pressure gauge. If oil temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, stop mowers
and see trouble shooting section for possible causes. Keep an eye on all gauges for
indication of problems.
MOWER OPERATION
When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken
when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris.
These conditions should be avoided.
The rotating parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, they could fail upon impact with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard rails,
concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity. Never allow
cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such objects prior to
mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
Once on location, lower the mower deck slightly above the material to be cut, so
the mower does not have to start under a load. Bring the R.P.M. of the tractor up to 1200
and engage the side mower. If a rear mower is being used, allow the R.P.M. to return to
1200 before engaging the rear mower.
The rotary mower deck should always be carried rather than dragged on the skid
shoes when mowing on the ground. Dragging the rotary mower heads causes an
extreme side load on the tractor resulting in premature tire wear. It also causes excessive
horsepower consumption and drastically decreases blade life. Dragging the rear mower
can also cause damage to the road. Once the necessary skill is attained at controlling the
height and position of the side rotary mower , it will be easy to carry the mower head(s) and
do a proficient job of cutting.
Side Rtry Operation Section 3-4
Page 49
OPERATION
When cutting tall shrubs or small trees (maximum recommended size of material
to be cut is 2” diameter) begin each pass at the top of the material and work down
with each consecutive pass. Use a low speed to allow the cutting blades time to
mulch as well as cut the foliage. When the initial pass has been made, disengage
the mower and return the mower to the travel position. Return to the starting point
and make next pass, etc.
When using the rotary cutting head for trimming trees and shrubs, let the
mower saw into them. Do not lower the mower head down directly onto a
tree or stump. The mower blades are designed to cut with the end, and
misuse can cause damage to the blade and a hazardous situation for the
operator.
To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1800
– 2200 R.P.M. If the tractor slows to less than 1800 R.P.M., shift to the next lower
gear. DO NOT ride the clutch, this will cause premature clutch failure. The engine
should not be operated at any time at more than 2400 R.P.M. on the tractor
tachometer.
DO NOT use excessive force when positioning cutting head into heavy
branches or small stumps (2” diameter). Damage to the unit may result.
It is best to let the cutter head “eat away” slowly at heavy cutting jobs.
The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power
if the knives are kept sharp. If the mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for
wire wrapped in the spindle or damaged knives. When replacing knives, replace all
knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not vibrate.
Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used. Follow the
instructions in the maintenance section closely when replacing knife blades.
If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation turn
mower switch “OFF” immediately! After shutdown, never leave the
tractor or allow bystanders to approach within 300 FEET of the unit until all
motion stops completely.
When encountering a very severe condition which causes the tractor to stall,
disengage mower, start tractor, raise the mower from the cut. Shut tractor off and
inspect the mower, blades and disk for damage before engaging mower again.
If the blades jam or stop, disengage the clutch and raise the head slightly or back
the tractor up. Normally, this will clear the cutter head. If not, shut off the mower(s),
raise the cutter heads, turn off the tractor and set the parking brake. After all motion
stops completely, leave the tractor and clear the cutting heads manually.
After the first day of operation, all bolts should be checked and tightened
securely.
This should be done periodically to ensure the bolts do not become loose and cause
damage to the tractor or mower, or injury to the operator.

OPERATION
TRANSPORTING MOWER
Transporting under the units own power:
When transporting between job sites or between cutting passes, the following
procedure should be followed: Shut off the power to the cutting head(s) and allow all
motion to come to a complete stop. Raise the draft beam to it’s highest position.
Raise the side mower until the deck stops against the draft beam. Raise the rear
mower with the 3-point hitch control lever. The unit is now in position for self
transportation.
Transporting unit by flatbed trailer:
Most tractors with a side mounted mower head attached will be over legal
transporting width (102” wide). For this reason, one of the following procedures
must be followed.
1: Transporting with side mower att ached: Use a loading dock or ramp to load
tractor onto the trailer. Center the tractor with the mowers att ached between the
sides of the trailer. Make sure the draf t beam and head are fully raised and secured.
Lower the rear mower onto the trailer. Secure the tractor and rear mower to the
trailer with chains. Obtain proper over-width permits and mark the vehicle and
mower as over-width as required be law. Check the tractor operators manual for any
tractor requirements to transport by flatbed trailer .
2: Transporting with side mower removed: Park the tractor and turn the engine
off. Remove the key to avoid accidental starting. Close ball valves on the hydraulic
reservoir. To avoid contaminating the hydraulic system, make sure all fittings on the
side mower motor and solenoid control valve are clean. Disconnect the motor
pressure hose at the solenoid valve and the motor return hose at the motor. See
diagram below.
Side Rtry Operation Section 3-6
Page 51
OPERATION
Next, switch the hose ends and reconnect to form two separate closed loops, see
diagram below. Disconnect the lift cable from the head and secure the loose end back
onto the cable with the cable clevis. Remove the keeper bolt and draft beam outer pivot
pin. Separate the mower head from the tractor . Now reinstall the pivot pin and keeper
bolts into the draft beam to prevent loss. OPEN THE BALL VALVES ON THEHYDRAULIC RESERVOIR BEFORE STARTING TRACTOR AGAIN! Serious damage
will be caused if tractor is started with the ball valves closed.
Use a loading dock or ramps to load the tractor onto the trailer , centering the
tractor between the sides of the trailer. Make sure the tractor (and rear mower) and
trailer are within legal transporting width. Lower the rear mower onto the trailer and
set the loose hide mower on the trailer. Secure the tractor and mowers to the trailer
with chains. Check the tractor operators manual for any requirements to transport
be flatbed trailer. Reverse this procedure to unload and remount the mowers after
transporting. Be sure all pins are secure, all connections are tight and any lost fluid
is replaced before using mowers. Use teflon tape when connecting all fittings.
If any part of this operating section, or any other section of this manual is
not completely understood, contact your Tiger dealer or the address on
the cover of this manual for assistance!
Before conducting the inspection, make sure the T ractor engine is off, all rotation
has stop and the tractor is in the Park with the parking brake engaged. The
Mower head is resting on the ground (or is securely blocked up and supported)
and all hydraulic pressure has been relieved.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Be sure end of grease gun and zerks are clean before using. Debris injected
intobearings, etc. with grease will cause immediate damage.
DO NOT use a power grease gun to lubricate bearings. These require very
small and exact amounts of lubrication. Refer to the detailed maintenance section
for specificlubrication instructions. Do Not over-grease bearings.
Lexan windows should be washed with mild soap or detergent and luke warm
water, using a soft clean sponge or soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or alkaline
cleaners or metal scrapers on lexan windows!
Be alert to maintenance indicators such as the in-tank filter pressure gauge,
hydraulic reservoir sight gauge, etc. Take the required action to correct any
problems immediately.
Release of energy from pressurized systems may cause inadvertent actuation
of cylinders, or sudden release of compressed springs. Before disconnecting any
hoses relieve pressure by shutting tractor off, setting cutter on ground and actuating
lift valve handles.
DO NOT use hands to check for suspected leaks in hydraulic hoses!
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury . If fluid is injected into skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Use a small piece of wood or cardboard, not hands, to search for pin
hose leaks. Be sure all pressure is relieved whenever disconnecting
lines. Be sure all connections are tight and hoses and lines are not
damaged before applying pressure.
BREAK IN PERIOD
In addition to following the break in instructions for your particular tractor , the in-
tank hydraulic fluid filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours of service.
Thereafter the filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or yearly , which ever
comes first.
Re-torque wheel lugs after first five hours of operation and periodically
thereafter. See torque specifications listed in the tractor’s service manual for your
particular model. Wheel lugs must always be re-torqued whenever a wheel is
removed and reinstalled.

All residual organic solvents should be removed with a secondary rinse.
GRAFFITI REMOVAL
Butyl cellosolve (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.). The use of
masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered
paints.
To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha are generally
effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to
soften the adhesive and promote removal.
IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incomp atible in a short-term test, it will usually be
found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable

RECOMMENDED FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HYDRAULIC RESERVIORS
When filling or checking the oil level, the unit should be parked on a level
surface, shut “OFF”, and allowed sufficient time to cool to ambient temperature.
Use caution when removing the pressurized breather. Do not place face over opening
when removing the breather.
The reservior should be filled to the top of the lower sight glass on the side of the
tank. Do not over-fill. The reservior has been over-filled when oil is visible in the upper
sight glass. If tank has too much oil, the excess may be expelled through the pressurized
breather.
DETAILED MAINTENANCE
REPLACEING IN-T ANK HYDRAULIC FIL TER:

DETAILED MAINTENANCE
REPLACEING HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC FILTER ELEMENT:
Assure system has been shut down and de-pressurized. Locate High Pressure
Filter housing. Confirm that the element that is about to be installed matches the
element p/n on the filter model tag. Example: V3.0510-06 (world line 100, HD049
model) Locate the bottom of the High Pressure Bowl, and use the appropriate
spanner wrench –or- ratchet that matches the hex pattern. Using the spanner
wrench -or- ratchet and turning in a counterclockwise rotation, (looking at the bottom
of the bowl) remove the bowl from the head, The first couple rotations will seam
tight as the o-ring passes the sealing flats, once the o-ring has cleared the sealing
flats the bowl should spin freely. Taking care not to drop the bowl, finish removing
the bowl from the head. WARNING: bowl will be full of oil! Pour the oil from the
bowl into a container, this oil should be considered contaminated due to the flow
direction through the element is outside ~ in. Clean the inside of the bowl if “dirt” is
present. Remove the old element from the filter head by pulling with a rotation
motion. Dispose of the used element properly. Remove the new element from the
packaging. Using your finger , dab and lubricate the o-ring in the top of the new
element. Install the new element into and on the mounting boss with in the head;
assure that the element is fully seated on the boss. Clean and inspect the o-ring
that is affixed in the bowl, lubricate with oil. Using a clockwise rotation, screw the
bowl back into the head, assuring that the bowl has not been cross threaded into the
head. Continue “tighten” the bowl into the head, using the spanner wrench –orratchet, the rotation of the bowl will become tighter once the o-ring engages the
sealing flats. Once the bowl has been fully inserted into the head, and the o-ring has
reached the sealing flats, the bowl can no longer be “tightened” and bottoms out.
Once the bowl has bottomed out, “back-off” the bowl by 1/6 turn, this assures that
the o-ring is seated properly with in the sealing flats. Element change out and reassembly is now complete. Start the machine and inspect the filter area checking
that there is no oil leaking from the filter assembly. This is first to be done at 50
hours of operation, then yearly(500 hours) or when indicated by restriction indicator.

The bolts that attach the knife mounting disk to the spindle must be grade 8.
These 5/8 inch bolts are to be torqued to 204 dry or 184 oiled ft. lbs.
A thread locking agent may be applied to threads of all mounting bolts before they
are installed.
Disks must be inspected daily for hairline cracks between spindle
mounting bolts or around the knife mounting bolts. These cracks indicate
metal fatigue caused by severe abuse. If cracks are present, the disk must be
replaced.
Inspect the disk mounting bolts daily when checking tightness of blade mounting
bolts. If a disk mounting bolt is loose, it must be removed, threads cleaned, fresh
thread locking agent applied, and tightened to proper torque value.
If a knife mounting bolt is loose, the self locking nut must be replaced as a safety
precaution. Lubricate threads with anti-seize, grease or motor oil. Place bolts
through knife and disk from bottom side of disk. Install self locking nuts and torque
them to 800 ft. lbs.
1- WARNING: The disk alone weighs approximately 210 lbs. Be sure its weight
can be supported before attempting to replace. The use of a lift mechanism will
ease replacement.
