TIGER FLEX ARM 15/10

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

TIGER Flex Arms are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These arms are designed to allow the operator to travel on the road while the the 10’ or 15’ rotary cutter cuts the ditch slope. The rotary cutter is equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors, and chains equipped on the unit must be maintained on the cutter in good operational condition.

It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the flex arm,mower, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the flex arm and mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are within 300 feet of the unit.

This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper mower use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in explaining the operation of a flex arm and flex-wing rotary cutter and are not necessarily of a flex arm and rotary cutter. Some pictures may show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE these implements without all shields in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the flex arm,mower and tractor operation and all associated safety practices before operating the flex arm, mower and tractor. Proper operation of the flex arm and mower, as detailed in this manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use.

IMPORTANT: To avoid mower damage, retorque all bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.
