SAFETY

Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor: -Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.

-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust. -Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor. -Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.

-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating. -Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes. Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from the mower deck. (SGM-12)

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)

Do not operate or pull the mower into standing water. When uplift or fan type mower blades contact water they can be severely deflected downward causing possible failure of blade resulting in serious boldly injury to the operator or bystanders. (SGM-15)

Use extreme caution when raising the Mower above ground level. Stop the Blades from turning when the Mower is raised and passersby are within 100 yards. Raising the Mower exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious injury by objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades. (SPU-1)

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.
