Bush Hog RMB 1865 manual Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The Bush Hog Boom Mower is primarily designed for grass cutting and trimming hedges. This mower is assembled for operation with 540 RPM tractor input only. With proper use and maintenance the mower should provide years of dependable service.

For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASABE, SAE and ANSI standards require the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Mower manufacturer strongly recommends the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes as well to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.

At least 20% of the tractor’s total weight must be on the front tires with the Mower lifted to provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills, rough terrain, and curves.

Mower Orientation: Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your automobile).
