OPERATION

3.TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS

In addition to tractor horsepower and size required to operate the boom unit, the tractor must also be properly equipped to provide operator protection, to alert approaching vehicle drivers of the tractor’s presence, and to ensure tractor stability when mowing with the boom fully extended.

Tractor Requirements and Capabilities

Certified Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat belt.

Tractor Safety Devices ..................... Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, lighting, PTO master shield

Tractor Horsepower-Minimum .......... 110 HP

Hitch Type ........................................ CAT II or CAT III Quick Hitch

Front End Weight ............................ As needed to maintain 20% weight on front axle

3.1ROPS and Seat Belt

The tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and seat belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened. Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an authorized dealer. OPS-U- 0003

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll- over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

3.2 Tractor Safety Devices

If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured.

Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position. OPS-U- 0004

3.3 Tractor Horsepower

The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing conditions, the DB150 Boom Mower requires a tractor with at least 60 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 60 HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.
