OPERATION
For safe and ef ficient boom mower operation, it is critic al that the ope rator be experience d and feel confident in
using the control valve sticks to position the boom. New operator ’s should allow ample ti me to practice using
the control valve sticks in an open area before entering the work site. Before attempting to operate this
equipment, read these instructions completely. If you have any questions concerning safety of operation,
contact your dealer or Alamo Industrial.
This valve is located on the Hydraulic Tank of the tractor unit. These are fastened together in a bank of five
valves. Their use will be explained in the following pages of this manual. Read each explanation carefully then
practice in a safe, level area, CLEAR of all people, animals, and any obstructions. As always, use extreme
caution when using this machine. This valve is controlled by operating the Remote Control Valve Box mounted
to the right of the operator at a convenient height.
NOTE: The stamped metal plate located above the control valve indicates each valve function.
Practice performing multiple functions simultaneously. With some practice, the control valve sticks will become
very easy to operate and will feel almost as it were an extension of your arm.
With the exception of the relief valves, which are preset at the factory, these are all the controls for operating
the machine other than the controls on the tractor itself
