Saber Safety Section 1-4

SAFETY

WARNING! 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 thrown by
the equipment. (SG-16)

CAUTION!

WARNING!

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA­NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement at-

tached 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: Hearing loss from loud noise
[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the
ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

sure you abide by the following rules:

1.

T est 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
safe transport speed for you and this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed

2.

through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate
at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed
when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you
and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you

3.

have determined are safe and which allow you to properly
control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor
with weak or faulty brakes. 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 reduce your speed. Be
aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)

must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of
injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or
blade contact. (SGM-3)

Saber Safety Section 1-7

SAFETY

DANGER!

WARNING!

WARNING!

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.

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.

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)

(SGM-4)

(SGM-5)

WARNING!

WARNING!

WARNING!

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!

Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSE­QUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)

Saber Safety Section 1-8

WARNING!

SAFETY

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

(SGM-11)

DANGER!

DANGER!

Rotary and Flail 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:

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. (SBM-1)

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.

(SBM-2)

DANGER!

WARNING!

WARNING!

Be particularly careful in transport. The Mower has raised the center

of gravity for the tractor and has increased the possibility of overturn. Turn

curves or go up slopes only at low speed and using a gradual turning
angle. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces. (SBM-3)

Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the
raised position. The mower could fall causing serious injury
to anyone who might inadvertently be under the mower.

(SBM-4)

The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the Tractor
has been turned off. 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. (SBM-5)

“Wait a minute...Save a life!”

BOOM JOYSTICK CONTROL CALIBRA TION

SUB-D

This Danfoss PVG32 control valve is now equipped with higher-resolution actuators
on Main Boom, Secondary Boom, Deck Roll, and Swivel functions. These actuators
have “active fault monitoring”. The Deck Shield section does not have “active fault
monitoring”. The joystick is unchanged and provides a ratio-metric voltage signal.
The neutral signal voltage is half or 50% of tractor supply voltage. A 25% signal
voltage will shift the valve spool to full “A-Port”, and 75% signal voltage will shift the
spool to full “B-Port” in the Main, Secondary , and Swivel valve sections. On the
Deck Roll function a 34% signal voltage will shift the valve spool to full “A-Port” and a
68% signal voltage will shift the spool to full “B-port”. If an actuator with active fault
monitoring receives a signal from the joystick that is less than 15% or greater than
85% of supply voltage the actuator will “fault out” and shut down. Also if there is an
internal failure in the actuator or if the spool position is greater than that specified by
the signal voltage from the joystick, the actuator will “fault out” and shut down. An
“active fault” condition causes the actuator to drive the spool to neutral, shut down,
and activate a “red” LED on the top of the actuator. The active fault can be canceled
by simply cycling the Master Switch “OFF” and then “ON”, which resets the fault
monitoring, and causes the LED on top of the actuator be “green” again.

The joystick control is equipped with signal adaption potentiometers.

These provide the capability to individually adjust the oil flow to each boom function.
It is important that the boom functions do not travel too fast. Excessive boom speed
can reduce the stability of the unit and decrease operator control.

Note: Use a Phillips screw driver and be sure to adjust the screws carefully! DO
NOT turn the potentiometers beyond their stopping point, potentiometers are very
delicate! Turning the “A” or “B” port potentiometers clockwise increases the oil flow
to increase the boom function speed, and turning them counterclockwise decreases
the oil flow to decrease the boom function speed. See the graphic on the next few
pages for help in adjusting.

T6000 Saber Assembly Section 2-20

ASSEMBLY

Run tractor at normal operating RPM to adjust the settings as follows.

Set the dead band compensation potentiometer first.

Set the dead band compensation potentiometer at 50%, or halfway between full
clockwise and full counter-clockwise.

Setting Signal Adaptation Potentiometers:

Disconnect the Deutsch connectors from the actuators of the valve. Use a Volt/Ohm meter to
measure signal voltage and adjust the signal adaptation potentiometers as needed. Pin #4 is
tractor supply voltage. Pin #1 is signal voltage from the joystick, and pin #3 is ground. First
measure supply voltage between pins 4 and 3. Then measure signal voltage between pins 1
and 3 while indexing the joystick function fully in both the “A” and “B” port direction. Divide the
signal voltage by the supply voltage to get signal voltage as a % of supply voltage. This
percentage should not be less than 25% or greater than 75% for the Main Boom, Secondary
Boom, or Swivel function. This percentage should not be less than 30% or greater than 62% for
the Deck Roll function. Note these initial settings for the Deck Roll function should prevent the
spool from shifting into float. After making this first adjustment to deck roll if the spool still goes

into float, adjust the “B” port screw additionally counterclockwise.

Reconnect Deutsch connectors on control cables to actuators on Danfoss valve. Run
tractor until hydraulic system is at operating temperature. Now refine the adjustments
of the signal adaptation potentiometers for both “A” and “B” ports for all proportional
functions to achieve the following function times. Note: turning potentiometer
clockwise increases the flow or the function speed, and turning them counter­clockwise decreases the flow or the function speed. Note, if during this procedure the
trim potentiometer is set to full “counterclockwise” but the function is still too fast, use
the mechanical stops at the manual actuator end of the valve section to further limit
flow. Turn limit screw in or clockwise to limit flow. The upper limit screw limits flow to
“B-port”, and the lower limit screw limits flow to “A-port”. However DO NOT adjust the
limit screw on “B-port” of deck roll function. Limiting “B-port” will prevent “float”
function.

Finally , all bosses, pins and pivot point s will need to be greased as instructed in
the maintenance section of this manual. The hydraulic reservoir can also be filled
with the recommended fluid (see maintenance section) and the filter installed in the
top of the tank. Double check all fittings and fasteners BEFORE starting tractor.
Also secure any loose hoses together with zip ties and wrap with split hoses where
friction may occur on the hoses.

BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand
the safety and operation sections of this manual completely.

BE SURE THE BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! Start tractor and allow instruments
to stabilize. Using a piece of paper or cardboard as noted in the safety and
maintenance sections, check all fittings and connections for hydraulic leaks.

If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor, set the cutter on the ground.
Before attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles several times
to relieve any pressure in the lines.

Before operating the mower, the cutter head and boom 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. After a 5 minute test run, the knife bolts should be
retorqued and once again after the first few hours of operation.

If any parts of this assembly section, or any other section of this
manual are not clearly understood you must contact your dealer or the
address on the front of this manual for assistance!

OPERATION

2.1 ROPS and Seat Belt

The tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and seat
belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be
crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened.
Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an
authorized dealer. OPS-U- 0003

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 off the tractor--particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

(SG-7)

2.2 Operator Thrown Object Protection

The tractor must be equipped with protective
equipment to shield the operator from falling and
thrown objects. For cab tractors, the tractor must
be equipped with an operator safety screen on its
right side or the right side windows must be fitted
with a shatter resistant safety window. For non­cab tractors, the tractor must be eq uipped with a
ROPS and operator protective safety cage that
provides protection to the right and above the
operator seat. DO NOT remove the ROPS from
non-cab tractors to equip a safety cage.

OPS-B- 0001

Never operate the Tractor and Mower Unit without an OPS (Operators
Protective Structure) or Cab to prevent injury from objects thrown from

OPERATION

2.3 T ractor Lighting and SMV Emblem

If the tractor will be operated near or traveled on a
public roadway it must be equipped with proper
warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Most tractor’s have different settings for
operating and transporting lighting. Refer to the
tractor operator’s manual for using the tractor’s
light switch and operating the turn signals.

OPS-B- 0017

2.4 T ractor Ballast

To ensure tractor stability when operating on flat surfaces the left rear tractor tire MUST exert a minimum
down force (weight) of 1500 lbs. on the ground when the tractor is on level ground, its boom is fully extended
and the mower head is horizontal and two feet above the ground. For units which have the ability to operate
on either side of the tractor, these requirements must also be met f or the right side tire when the boom is
extended to the left side as described above. A tractor that does not meet this criteria is DANGEROUS and
should not be operated as upset of the unit can occur resulting in possible serious injury and property
damage. NOTE: All factory mounted units are tested and meet the ballast requirement before shipment;
further testing is not required unless the unit is operated in a manner other than what is considered standard
operating conditions.

If the unit is operated on slopes greater than 5°,
additional counterweight will be required.
Operation of the unit on slopes greater than 11
percent (6.4 degrees) is not recommended under
any circumstances. On a tractor with a 96” outside
to outside tire spread, an 11 percent (6.4 degrees)
slope occurs when one rear tractor tire is about 8”
lower than the other rear tire. OPS-B- 0018

light will com on. However, the tractor will not start again with the Mower Control switch in the “ON” position.
Upon starting the tractor the “mower run ” indic ator ligh t ma y flas h b riefly, and may flash briefly again when the
tractor is shut down.

If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for

assistance.

NOTE: DO NOT operate mower head while boom is in the boom rest! Red “Mower Run”

light indicates mower is “ON” when tractor engine is running.

The boom functions are controlled by an electric joystick. The Joystick Master Switch enables the joystick
control for controlling the boom motion functions. This switch is to be in the “OFF” position when starting the
tractor and when boom is stowed for transporting the machine.

If the joystick is not operating properly, turn the master switch to the “OFF” position. Install

the manual valve handle onto valve and operate the functions individually to stow boom.

After boom is stowed in rest, transport the unit to the maintenance facility and cont act your

Tiger dealer for assistance.

DO NOT attempt to operate the valve manually for mowing operations!

Note: Pushing manual valve handles “out” or “away” from the tractor cab will bring the main boom “up”,
secondary boom “out”, roll deck “out” and swivel boom “aft”. Pulling manual handles toward cab will let main
boom “down”, secondary boom “in”, roll deck “in”, swivel boom “forward”, and “close” the safety shield.

OPERATION

The Master Switch also provides power to the “Deck Float”, “Shield” and “Travel Lock” Functions of the mower
deck.

The Deck Float function allows the ground roller of the flail mower head to follow the contour of the ground. To
operate the deck float function, the Master switch must be in the “ON” position and the Travel Lock switch must
be in the “OFF” position. Lower the mower head to just touch the ground, then turn the deck float switch “ON”.

The Deck Float is to be used ONLY when the flail mower head is on the ground. The

mower head CAN NOT be controlled with the joystick when Deck Float is “ON”.

OPERATION

The deck float is to be used only when mowing with a flail head, using the deck float with

a rotary head may damage the mower.

The Safety Shield switch opens and closes the shield located on the front of the cutter head. When mowing at
or near the ground, always have the shield in the closed position. When mowing in brush or in trees above
ground level the shield may be opened for easier cutting. Read and follow the warnings on the decal shown
below.

The Travel Lock function locks the mower head in the up-right position for road travel.

Prepare unit for travel by rolling deck completely out (mower deck rolled back adjacent to

secondary boom.) Then place main and secondary booms in boom rest. The Travel Lock

switch can now be engaged.
NOTE: The tractor ignition switch and the Master Switch must be “ON” and the Travel Lock must be “OFF” to

allow articulation of the mower deck.

7.DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Safe tractor transport requires the operator to 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 boom and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety
while driving the tractor with a boom, review the following.

Read all safety instructions. Decals on the Boom warn you of particular and multiple hazards. Some decals
are attached close to part of the Boom where there is a possible hazard. Read and make sure you
understand the safety messages before you operate the implement. Keep all decals clean and readable.
Replace lost or damaged decals, refer to safety section for more information.

Keep all person's well clear of mower since blades can throw objects with great velocity for a considerable
distance! KEEP CLEAR! OPS-B- 0005

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
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 or Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator
has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

(SG-4)

Always maintain the safety signs in good r eadable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.

(SG-5)

OPERATION

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
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 you r speed. When operating in traf fic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traf fic arou nd you
and watch out for the other guy.

(SG-19)

7.1 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 3-point control lever is in the
lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before
starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033

OPERATION

7.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting

Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating
condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate
independently allowing single rear wheel braking
action or locked together to provide simultaneous
rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND
OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS
SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE
THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.

Always disengage the tractor differential lock when
turning. When engaged the differential lock will
prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used.

OPS-U- 0013

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking 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 controls from the tractor seat only.

(SG-9)

Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the raised

position. The mower could fall causing serious injury to anyone who

might inadvertently be under the mower

OPERATION

7.3 Driving the Tractor and Boom

Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor. Never operate the tractor at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator

from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating, stop the tractor
immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.

Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow
speeds to determine how the tractor with and
attached implement handles a turn. Determine the
safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor
when making turns. When turning with the
implement the overall working length and width of
the unit is increased. Allow additional clearance for
the unit when turning or when passing large
obstructions.

To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and
at safe speeds, especially when operating over
rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and
turning corners. Use extreme caution when
operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low
gear when going downhill. DO NOT coast or free­wheel downhill.

8.OPERATING THE BOOM UNIT AND ATTACHED HEAD

THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND
MOWER AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING T O MOW. The operator must read and understand

the Safety and Operation Sections of this manual and the tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must
be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the unit without
complete operating instructions.

To ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment and before starting any mowing operation. The
operator must become familiar with the area to be mowed, and any obstacles and hazards contained within.
Special attention should be paid to foreign debris, overhead obstructions, rough terrain, steep slopes,
passersby and animals in the area.

Only operate the mower head from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. Only
operate a boom and equipped head on cabbed tractor that is eq uipped with a polycarbonate safety-protected
right side window or a non cabbed tractor equipped with a ROPS and operator safety screen.

Avoid operating in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the boom and mower must be
backed to access areas to be cut, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the tractor.
When backing, operate the tractor at a much reduced ground speed to ensure complete control of the unit is
maintained. OPS-B- 0007

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

closed.

(SGM-11)

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
300 feet (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.

(SGM-01)

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)

Never operate the mower head tilted down where the operator can see the blades of the
mower. The blade could throw an object toward the operator causing serious injury or

death. Never operate the mower without an Operator Protective Structure. Always wear

safety glasses and a hard hat. (Ops-0005-MISC)

OPERATION

Saber Operation Section 3-28

©2011 Alamo Group Inc.

OPERATION

8.1 Foreign Debris Hazards/Overhead Obstructions

An area to be cut must first be inspected for objects that could be thrown or that could damage the machine.
Walk through the area looking for fences, boulders, rocks, culverts, stumps or metal objects. Mark the
inspected area with flags. If the area is dense and cannot be walked thoro ug hly it may b e necessar y to in sp ect
a smaller area as well as possible, then trim away the part that has been inspected and can safely be
removed. Walk each new area again and repeat the inspection before cutting more away. Repeat as often as
necessary until the area is cleared. It can be damaging and/or d angerous to work the cutter in an area that has
not been visually inspected.

Place DANGER signs at least 300 feet beyond the perimeter of the area to be worked, not just 300 feet from
where the machine started operating! It is convenient in many cases to work in 300 foot sections. Move the
first Danger sign to the beginning of the freshly cleared area, place it, then take the first cutting area flag up to
the end of the freshly cleared area 300 feet away. Walk and inspect the next 300 feet and place the sec ond
cutting area flag. Pick up the second DANGER sign, and take it a further 300 feet along the road or trail. Note
that in many cases the DANGER area will extend in front of and behind the machine as well as along each
side. Post signs accordingly. OPS-B- 0008

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 mark ed and car efully avo 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)

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-06)

Mow 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)

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking 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 controls from the tractor seat only.

OPERATION

8.2 Operating Speed and Ground Speed

Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Do Not
exceed 5 MPH while operating. Operate the mower at its full rated RPM to maintain blade speed for a clean
cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to
provide the desired ground speed. Make sure that the mower is operating at its full rated speed before
entering the vegetation to be cut. Always start and stop cutting blades with engine near idle.

Ground speed is achieved by transmission gear selection and not by the engine operating speed. The
operator may be required to experiment with several gear range combinations to determine the best gear and
range which provides the most ideal performance from the implement and most efficient tractor operation. As
the severity of cutting conditions increase, the ground speed should be decreased. OPS-B- 0009_SBR

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 300 feet
of mower.

(SGM-02)

Mow 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)

OPERATION

8.3 Mower Operation

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 and
removing them prior to mowing can help eliminate
these potiential 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. With the tractor at an
idle, engage mower. Bring tractor R.P.M. up to
1900-2200 R.P.M. and slowly lower deck to ground
level.

Saber Operation Section 3-30

©2011 Alamo Group Inc.

OPERATION

A flail mower deck should be carried so that the part of the deck weight is carried by the boom and part carried
by the ground roller, when moving on the ground. When the flail mower is carried this way, the ground roller
follows the contour of the ground more easily during mowing operations.

The rotary mower deck should always be carried rather th an dragged on the skid shoes when mowing on the
ground. Dragging the rotary mower deck increases the side loads on the boom, decreases the horsepower
available to the cutter head, and reduces the ability of the accumulator the carry par t of the we igh t of the boom
during mowing operations.

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 in operation.
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects-such as gravel, rocks, and
debris. These conditions should be avoided.

8.4 50” and 60” Boom Rotary Brush Mowers

The 50” and 60” boom rotary brush mower was designed for cutting brush and foliage up to 6 inches in
diameter or multiple branches that have a total cross section area equivalent to one 6 inch branch.

During mower operation, the hand throttle must be used to maintain engine speed at 1900-2200 R.P.M. This
prevents radical changes in mower spindles speed, reducing the possibility of cutter assembly damage.

The horizontal positioning action of the boom is designed to position the cutting head and provide a limited
pressure relief when excessive pressure is applied to the boom. Do not force the cutting head into heavy
branches or stumps. Damage to the unit may result.

When using the rotary cutting he ad for t rimm ing t rees and shru bs, le t th e mo wer saw into
them. Do not lower the mower head down dir ectly into a tre e o r stum p. The mo wer blad es
are designed to cut with the end, and misuse can cause damage to the blade and a
hazardous situation for the operator.

Powering the boom down, forcing mower deck onto ground may damage mower deck an d
it’s attachment to the boom, creating a potentially hazardous situation.

To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1900-2200
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.

For cutting brush it is usually best to stop the tractor and swivel the boom and mower into foilage. The
horizontal positioning action of the boom is designed to position the cutting head and provide a limited
pressure relief when excessive pressure is applied to the boom.

DO NOT use excessive force when positioning cutting head into heavy branches or
stumps. Damage to the unit may result. It is best to let the cutter head “ eat away” slowly at
heavy cutting jobs.

If foliage falls on top of mower deck causing tractor to become unstable, move the boom
“Forward” and “Out” to relieve tipping of the tractor. Lower mower deck to ground and shut
down unit. After all motion stops, remove foliage from mower deck.

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.

Begin a pass at the top side of the trees and work down with each consecutive pass. When cutting trees and
shrubs, use a lower speed to allow the knives time to cut as well as mulch the foliage.

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.

If cutter shaft jams and stops, turn mower switch to “OFF”, and swivel boom “AFT”.
Normally this action will clear the cutter head. If not, roll mower deck until adjacent to the secondary boom,
then lower boom to rest mower deck on ground. Shut off the tractor, set parking break, allow all motion to
cease. At that point it is safe to leave the tractor and clear the cutter heads manually.

Begin each pass at the top side of the trees 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,

OPERATION

Saber Operation Section 3-31

OPERATION

disengage the mower, and return boom to a safe travel position. Return to starting point and make next pass,
etc.

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 b ecome loose and cause damag e to the tractor or mower, or injury to the
operator.

When cutting trees and brush approach material
to be cut with the head perpendicular to material.
The cutting edge of the blades should be the
only elements in contact with material. The blade
bar should not contact with material. The mower
head and blades should be moved
perpendicularly into the material rather lowering
the mower head on top of material. If the blade
bar edges are gouged or rounded from wear, the
mower head is being used incorrectly in an
abusive manner . The blad e bar is n ot intended to
cut material or to be a wear item like the blades.
Do Not allow the blades or blade bar to contact
the ground, rocks or solid objects. Contact with

the ground can result in rocks and solid objects
being thrown out from under the mower head
which can cause serious injuries to the operator
and bystanders. This type of operation can lead
to bent or broken blade bars, broken blade bolts
and broken blade bar assembly bolts which can
be dangerous to the operator and bystanders.

8.5 60” Boom Rotary Grass Mower

The 60” boom rotary grass mower was designed for cutting grass only. The cutter speed must be maintained
for proper cutting. To insure that the cutter is rotating at maximum speed, run tractor at full throttle during
mowing operations. If cutter asse mbly slows to the point that the knives are foldin g back, move the mower
head away from the foliage and allow the cutter shaft to regain full speed.

During mower operation, the hand throttle must be used to maintain engine speed at 1900-2200 R.P.M. This
prevents radical changes in mower spindles speed, reducing the possibility of cutter assembly damage.

The horizontal positioning action of the boom is designed to position the cutting head and provide a limited
pressure relief when excessive pressure is applied to the boom. Do not force the cutting head into heavy
grass. Damage to the unit may result.

When using the rotary cutting head for cutting heavy grass, let the mower saw into it. Do

not lower the mower head down directly into the heavy grass. The mower blades are

designed to cut with the end, and misuse can cause damage to the blades and a

hazardous situation for the operator.

Powering the boom down, forcing mower deck onto ground may damage mower deck an d

it’s attachment to the boom, creating a potentially hazardous situation.

To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1900-2200

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

8.6 50” Boom Flail

The 50” boom flail mower was designed for cutting
brush and foliage up to 2 inches in diameter or
multiple branches that have a total cross section
area equivalent to one 2 inch branch. Cutting
multiple limbs at the same time may overload the
mower causing it to slow down or stall completely.
Regardless of the size of material being cut, the
cutter shaft speed must be maintained. To ensure
that the cutter shaft is running at maximum speed,
run the tractor at full throttle during mowing
operations. If the cutter shaft slows to the point that
the knives are folding back, move the mower head
away from the foliage and allow the cutter shaft to
regain full speed.

Operating the mower in a

manner that allows the knives to continually fold back or allowing knive lugs to contact

foliage will cause permanent damage to the cutter shaft drum, knives, and knife

attachment parts.

The 50” boom flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same rotation as the

tractor wheels during forward travel). Never operate the cutter shaft in reverse

rotation. Operating this mower in reve rse rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the

front of the mower head.

The 50” boom flail equipped wi th free swinging brush knives is intended fo r brush cut ting

only. Cutting grass is not recommended.

8.8 Saber Flail

The Saber flail mower was designed for cutting brush and foliage up to 4 inches in diameter or multiple
branches that have a total cross section area equivalent to one 4 inch branch. Cutting multiple limbs at the
same time may overload the mower causing it to slow down or stall completely. Regardless of the size of
material being cut, the cutter shaft speed must be maintained. To ensure that the cutter shaft slows to the point
that the knives are folding back against the cutter shaft move the mower had away from the foliage and allow
the cutter shaft to regain full speed.

OPERATION

Operating the mower in a manner that allows the cutting knives to contact the drum will
cause permanent damage to the cutter shaft drum, knives, and knife arrachments.

The Saber flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same rotation) as the tractor
wheels during forward travel). Never operate the cutter shaft in the reverse rotation.
Operating this mower in reverse rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of
the mower head.

8.9 Saber Rotary

The Saber Rotary mower was designed for cutting brush and foliage up to 8 inches in diameter or multiple
branches that have a total cross section area equivalent to on 8 inch branch. Cutting multiple limbs at the same
time may overload the mower causing it to slow down or stall completely. Regardless of the size of material
being cut, the speed of the cutter head must be maintained. To ensure that the cutter head is running at

OPERATION

The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020

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.

OPS-B-0015

9.3 Transporting on Public Roadways

Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and mower on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive
drivers and most drivers will not be looking for you, therefore, you must look out for them. Check your sideview
mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the tractor’s slower speed. Be
extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing, is wider than the tractor tire width and/or
extends beyond your lane of the road.

OPERATION

When operating on public roads, have
consideration for other road users. Pull to the side
of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic
to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in
your state or municipality for agricultural tractors.
Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and
mower on public roads. Especially in busy cities,
the boom extends to right farther then the tractors
width, so be careful there are no bystanders, poles,
large obstructions or any vehicles that may be in
path of the mower head or boom. Use caution and
reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in
the area. OPS-B- 0016

When transporting Boom Mower on a truck or trailer, the height or width
may exceed legal limits when the boom is in the transport position.
Contact with side or overhead structures or power lines can cause

property damage or serious injury or death. If necessary lower boom to
reduce height and/or remove mowing head to reduce width to the legal
limits.

(SBM-8)

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

(SG-10)

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in

9.5 Hauling the Tractor and Implement

Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement,
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. OPS-U- 0024

Use adequately sized and rated trailers and
equipment to transport the tractor and implement.
Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper
equipment required. Using adequately sized chains,
heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie
down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the
proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor
manufacturer. OPS-U- 0025

9.4 Transporting Unit by Flatbed Trailer

Park flatbed on level area. Drive tractor onto center of flatbed to avoid uneven distri bution of weight and st aying
within local width restrictions. If boom is over local height restrictions, you will need to extend booms outward
enough to clear front of tractor when boom is pivoted forward. Pivot mower deck into a horizontal position, and
lower the boom until deck is slightly above trailer bed. Remove cylinder pin from outer end of the boom swivel
cylinder.

If trailer is not perfectly level, the boom will tend to swing towards the lower side. Have other
personnel ready to control its swinging motion when cylinder pin is removed.

Retract swivel cylinder and secure to main frame. Pivot boom forward to the center of flat bed. Lower deck
ontothe trailer bed, and shut off the tractor. The tractor and the mower head should now be chained down
securely to the trailer bed.

OPERATION

Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the
chains are pulling downward and against
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or
other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply
maximum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as the
extreme tension involved when released has the
potential to inflict serious injury.

While hauling the tractor and implement, make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during
transport a hard braking, sharp turn ing, or swerving
action was performed, stop at the next sa fe location
to inspect the security of the load. OPS-U- 0026

Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall
crushing themselves or others.
