SAFETY

SAFETY

Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-07)

Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

(SGM-08)

Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.

The Mower is designed for certain mowing applications and is rated to cut up to a specific size vegetation (see Mower Standard Equipment and Specifications). DO NOT use this mower to cut vegetation above the Mower’s rated capacity or to cut any type of non- vegetative material. Only operate this Mower on a properly sized and equipped Tractor. Operating this Mower in an application for which it is not designed and/or operating the Mower with the wrong size Tractor can cause Mower component damage and equipment failure resulting in possible serious injury or death. (SGM-14)

Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.

Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices

Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any shield if it is damaged or missing.

Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in calibration could cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury. (SBH-13)

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement. Place the Mower Head on the ground or securely supported on blocks or stands, disengage the PTO, and turn off the engine. Push and pull the control Levers or Joystick several times to relieve pressure prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.

Designed to cater to both residential and commercial landscaping needs, it combines power, durability, and user-friendly characteristics, making it a favorite among homeowners and professionals alike.

One of the main features of the Alamo Lawn Mower is its powerful engine, often equipped with a robust, efficient motor that ensures a clean and precise cut. This engine's power translates to reliable performance even in dense grass and challenging terrain.

The design of the Alamo Lawn Mower emphasizes ergonomics and comfort. With adjustable handles and cushioned grips, operators can easily maneuver the unit for extended periods without discomfort. Some models even incorporate self-propulsion technology, reducing operator strain and allowing for effortless movement across various landscapes.

In terms of technology, Alamo lawn mowers frequently feature advanced blade systems that promote superior mulching and bagging capabilities. The innovative blade designs enhance cutting efficiency, producing fine clippings that decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil. Furthermore, these mowers often come with adjustable cutting height settings, giving users the flexibility to choose their desired grass length based on specific lawn requirements.

Another notable characteristic is the mower's durability. Constructed with heavy-duty materials, including rust-resistant steel decks, Alamo lawn mowers are built to withstand the test of time. This durability ensures the mower remains operational through numerous seasons, making it a worthwhile investment for users.

Moreover, some models are powered by eco-friendly technologies, such as battery-operated motors, which reduce noise and emissions, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. The convenience of electric models also translates to reduced maintenance, as they require less frequent servicing compared to traditional gas-powered alternatives.
