OPERATION

3.7 Power Take Off (PTO)

Only operate the mower on a tractor equipped to operate at 540 RPM PTO speed. Tractors operating at 540 rpm will have a 1-3/8” diameter 6-spline PTO shaft stub. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for operating the PTO at the proper speed

If operating an older model tractor where the tractor’s transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an over-running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. Consult an authorized tractor dealer to purchase and install an over-running clutch if needed.

DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

(S3PT-14)

Never operate the Tractor and Mower if the Implement input driveline is directly connected to the Tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by the momentum of the rotating Mower blades driving the Tractor transmission even though the Tractor clutch has been disengaged. Install an over running clutch between the Tractor PTO and the Mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation. (S3PT-16)

4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR

Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the mower and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

4.1 Boarding the Tractor

Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when getting on the tractor. Never use tractor control levers for support when mounting. Always seat yourself in the operator’s seat and fasten the seatbelt. Only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS in the raised position.

Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or mower. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or killed from being ran over by the tractor and mower. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid extra riders at all times.

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.
