OPERATION

9. OPERATING THE BOOM UNIT AND ATTACHED HEAD

THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND MOWER AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MOW. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of this manual and the tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the unit without complete operating instructions.

To ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment and before starting any mowing operation. The operator must become familiar with the area to be mowed, and any obstacles and hazards contained within. Special attention should be paid to foreign debris, overhead obstructions, rough terrain, steep slopes, passersby and animals in the area.

Only operate the mower head from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. Only operate a boom and equipped head on cab-ed tractor that is equipped with a Lexan® protected right side window or a non- cab-ed tractor equipped with a ROPS and operator safety screen.

Avoid operating in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the boom and mower must be backed to access areas to be cut, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the tractor. When backing, operate the tractor at a much reduced ground speed to ensure complete control of the unit is maintained.

WARNING! Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed.

DANGER! Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type of item discontinue mowing.

DANGER! Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no persons behind the Mower and use extreme care when mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the Tractor and Mower. Never mow an area in the reverse direction that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.

WARNING! Never operate the mower head tilted down where the operator can see the blades of the mower. The blade could throw an object toward the operator causing serious injury or death. Never operate the mower without an Operator Protective Structure. Always were safety glasses and a hard hat.

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.
