OPERATION

1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS

Safe operation of the boom unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the boom and tractor Operator Manuals and is experienced in tractor, boom and attached head operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety message decals are affixed to the boom arm, mower head, and tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.

Safe operation of this equipment requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for the job conditions while connecting, operating, servicing and repairing the boom, head, and tractor. PPE is designed to provide operator protection from bodily injury and includes the following:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

¾Protective eye glasses, goggles, or face shield

¾Hard hat

¾Steel toed safety footwear

¾Gloves

¾Hearing protection

¾Close fitting clothing

¾Respirator or filter mask

DANGER! NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the Equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this Equipment when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

2. 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

¾ASAE approved Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat belt.

¾Operator Protection

Tractor must be equipped with protective structure such as

........................................................................

operator cage or lexan window to protect operator from

........................................................................

thrown object and falling objects

¾Tractor Safety Devices

Slow moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, lighting,

¾Tractor Ballast

As required to maintain at least 1500 lbs. on left rear tire

RBF-19C specifications

The Tiger RBF-19C is a remarkable example of advanced unmanned aerial technology, designed primarily for reconnaissance and battlefield surveillance. This drone has garnered attention for its exceptional capabilities and cutting-edge features that make it a valuable asset for military and defense operations.

One of the standout characteristics of the RBF-19C is its high-altitude endurance. The drone is engineered to operate at significant elevations, which allows it to cover vast terrains while remaining undetected. With a maximum altitude capability of 20,000 feet, it can conduct prolonged missions, gathering intelligence over hostile areas without risking human pilots.

Under the hood, the Tiger RBF-19C incorporates advanced sensor technologies that enable it to deliver real-time data. Equipped with high-definition cameras, multispectral sensors, and infrared technology, it can capture detailed images and videos even in adverse weather conditions and low-light environments. This capability significantly enhances situational awareness for ground forces, making decision-making faster and more efficient.

Another notable feature of the RBF-19C is its extended operational range. The drone can maintain a communication link over distances exceeding 200 kilometers, enabling it to operate far beyond the frontline. This extended range allows for strategic reconnaissance missions, providing vital intelligence without exposing personnel to danger.

In terms of maneuverability, the Tiger RBF-19C is designed for versatility. It features a robust flight control system that allows for nimble navigation in complex environments. The drone can perform various flight patterns, including loitering and waypoint navigation, which is particularly useful for surveillance missions where constant observation of a target is crucial.

Moreover, the RBF-19C is built with a modular design, allowing for quick modifications and upgrades to suit different mission requirements. This adaptability ensures that it can be easily retrofitted with new technology or payloads, keeping it relevant amidst rapidly evolving warfare tactics.

Lastly, the RBF-19C is renowned for its stealth capabilities. Designed with a low radar cross-section and noise-reduction technologies, it minimizes its visibility to enemy radar systems, enabling covert operations. This attribute is essential for missions that require undetected data gathering.

In conclusion, the Tiger RBF-19C represents a significant advancement in drone technology, combining endurance, advanced sensors, extended range, and stealth. Its sophisticated design and operational capabilities make it an invaluable tool for modern military forces, enhancing their ability to carry out reconnaissance and maintain situational awareness on the battlefield.
