10. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER

Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the mower and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached mower, review the following.

Read all safety instructions. Decals on the Mower warn you of particular and multiple hazards. Some decals are attached close to part of the Mower where there is a possible hazard. Read and make sure you understand the safety messages before you operate the implement. Keep all decals clean and readable. Replace lost or damaged decals.

Power for operating the mower is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual instructions for engaging and disengaging the PTO. Start the tractor and idle at a slow engine speed until oil is being pumped. Always engage the PTO at low engine RPM and run the mower for a short period until all air is removed from the hoses. Keep all person's well clear of mower since blades can throw objects with great velocity for a considerable distance! KEEP CLEAR!

Check the fluid level in the Hydraulic Tank and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out of the Hoses, it goes into the Hydraulic Tank and reduces the volume of oil. Maintain the oil level within the sight gauge located on the side of the reservoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for the expansion of the oil. The tank maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when removing the breather cap element to prevent possible injury. To relieve pressure remove the breather cap element and depress the spring loaded pressure valve to release any excess air. Fill with DexronR ll Automatic Transmission Fluid.

This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.

Alamo is a prominent historical site located in San Antonio, Texas, that embodies a rich tapestry of events from the early 19th century. Originally established as a Spanish mission known as Mission San Antonio de Padua in the early 1700s, the Alamo has become a symbol of resistance and valor in the face of overwhelming odds. Its most significant moment came during the Texas Revolution in 1836 when a small group of Texian defenders made a valiant stand against the much larger Mexican army.

The architecture of the Alamo is a distinctive blend of Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, characterized by its thick limestone walls and arched doorways. The site features the famous chapel, known for its adjoining long barracks and a simple yet iconic façade that captures the spirit of the era. Despite suffering extensive damage over the years, the Alamo has been meticulously preserved and continues to serve as a key historical monument.

Technologically, the Alamo has undergone various renovations and restorations to maintain its integrity against the elements and modern advancements. Preservation efforts utilize contemporary methods such as laser scanning and 3D rendering to create accurate models for restoration. These high-tech methodologies ensure that any repairs or alterations respect the original structure while improving its resilience.

One of the remarkable characteristics of the Alamo is its role as a rallying point for Texan independence. The phrase "Remember the Alamo!" has transcended its historical context, serving as a powerful battle cry not only for Texas but also as a symbol of determination and sacrifice in various struggles for freedom worldwide. Visitors to the Alamo can engage with interactive exhibits and educational programs that delve into the complex narratives surrounding the site, enhancing their understanding of its significance.

Today, the Alamo attracts millions of visitors annually who come to explore its historical grounds, reflecting on the bravery exhibited by those who fought there.
