-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 Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from the mower deck. (SGM-12) OPERATION © 2009 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION FACLON 15/10 03/09 Operation Section 4-33 The unit is designed to greatly reduce the clipping and debris build up on the cooler. However the cooler will periodically need to be inspected and cleaned to remove material, usually once or twice a day depending on mowing conditions. Use a short brush to brush the clippings off the cooler fins on the underside. Brush the clippings out from under the tank where the air enters the cooler. Remove any debris or clippings from the top of the fan as needed. If the cooler becomes excessively clogged, the oil temperature could become too high. During sharp turns be careful not to allow the tire to come in contact with the tongue or other parts of the mower. When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all mower rotation to come to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the mower. NEVER raise the mower wings while the blades are turning. OPS-R-0027F 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) OPERATION © 2009 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION FACLON 15/10 03/09 Operation Section 4-34 Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs, power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid ground objects while you are operating. Use care to avoid hitting these items. Set the wing remote levers to the float position to allow the wings to follow the contour of the ground. Set the axle in the center locked postion. OPS-R0028E When mowing across uneven areas such as road shoulders, ditch edges, and other uneven terrain, position mower so that one support wheel is near the highest point to prevent blades from cutting into gravel or dirt which can cause rapid blade wear and extremely severe shock loads on the drivetrain resulting in rapid wear or damage to these components. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height or position which may cause the blades to contact the ground. Cutting into the berm or edge of the ditch will cause abnormal and accelerated blade wear and possible blade component failure. OPS-R-0029 OPERATION © 2009 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION FACLON 15/10 03/09 Operation Section 4-35 11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR 10.6 Shutting Down the Implement To shut down attached mower head, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head will come to a complete stop within a suitable amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an emergency situation. Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. OPS-U- 0016 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. (S3PT-15) Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death. (STI-04) OPERATION © 2009 Alamo Group Inc. OPERATION FACLON 15/10 03/09 Operation Section 4-36 Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and all motion at a complete stop. Move the mower to a level storage location and lower both wings to the ground. If the mower will be stored with the sections in the raised position, be sure that the locks are engaged. If the mower is not resting securely on the ground, block the mower up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor. Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the mower and clear of any pinch points. When disconnecting the mower, the tractor should be completely...
