TRACTOR PREPARATION

Installing the Operator Guard - Cab Tractor

Bush Hog strongly recommends installing the RMB 1445 Boom Mower on a cab tractor equipped with impact resistant glass windows. In addition, the Bush Hog RMB 1445 Boom Mower includes an operator guard kit which must be installed on the tractor before using the mower.

The guard kit consists of two areas of wire mesh which can be shaped to match your cab windows. Secure the upper edge of the mesh to the rear window cab gutter and the RH side window cab gutter. Secure the lower edge of the mesh using the spring loaded hooks as shown in the diagram above. Since tractor cabs can vary in size and shape, it may be necessary to modify the supplied clips or make brackets to secure the mesh.
