OPERATION

STARTING TRACTOR AND MOWER

Check the operators manual received from the tractor manufacturer, for

their recommendation and procedures pertaining to your particular make and model.

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300 feet of the machine when mower is in operation.

Be sure the ball valves on the mower hydraulic tank are OPEN before starting the tractor. Serious damage to the hydraulic system can occur if the valves are not open.

Check to make sure mower switch is in the “OFF” position. The unit is designed not to start if the switch is in the “on” position. If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for assistance.

Start the tractor and allow the instruments to stabilize. Without starting the mower, practice positioning the boom and deck. Remember, speed and skill will be attained easier if the necessary time is spent familiarizing yourself with the machine and its operations. When you feel comfortable at controlling the position of the mower, return the mower to the travel position, and transport the mower to the desired mowing location.

NOTE: Each mower head has a specific resting position for flatbed travel. If mowing for the first time with a Tiger Boom Mower, we recommend choosing a

ditch or area relatively flat with a minimum of sign posts, guard rails, etc. As always, you should inspect the area for other objects that can cause potential hazards and removing them before mowing.

The Mower Control switch turns the mower “ON” and “OFF. This switch is to be in the “OFF” position to start the tractor. If the switch is “ON” and the tractor ignition switch is turned to “ON” the red “mower run” indicator light will come on. However, the tractor will not start with the Mower Control switch in the “ON” position. Upon starting tractor the “mower run” indicator light may flash briefly, and may flash briefly again when tractor is shut down.

If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for assistance.

NOTE: The tractor ignition switch and the Master Switch must be “ON” ” to allow movement of the mower deck.
