Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19) OPERATION ©2007 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION A60B/A72B 02/07 Operation Section 4-23 11.1 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 11.2 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 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 in these conditions. 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. OPERATION ©2007 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION A60B/A72B 02/07 Operation Section 4-24 11.3 Raising the Mower Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise the mower off the ground about 6”, or just high enough to clear any ground obstacles. When raising the mower, make sure all connection points are securely attached and at least 1” clearance is maintained between the driveline and the deck. If necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch control lever to limit the height the mower can be raised to avoid driveline damage. OPS-R-0042 11.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated 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 an attached mower handles a turn. Determine the safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making turns. When turning with a towed implement, the overall working length of the unit is increased. Allow additional clearance for the mower when turning. 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. Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased when working on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping. Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill. OPS-R-0019 OPERATION ©2007 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION A60B/A72B 02/07 Operation Section 4-25 11.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid (driveline is at its extreme shortest length). This type of abusive operation can cause serious damage to the tractor and mower drive by pushing the PTO into the tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020 When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not approach from an angle which is perpendicular or straight on as damage to or over-collapse of the driveline may occur. OPS-R-0021_A OPERATION ©2007 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION A60B/A72B 02/07 Operation Section 4-26 Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such as approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path. When operating the tractor and mower across slopes and inclines, through ditches, and ot...
