OPERATION

2.4 Tractor Ballast

To ensure tractor stability when operating on flat surfaces the left rear tractor tire MUST exert a minimum down force (weight) of 1500 lbs. on the ground when the tractor is on level ground, its boom is fully extended and the mower head is horizontal and two feet above the ground. For units which have the ability to operate on either side of the tractor, these requirements must also be met for the right side tire when the boom is extended to the left side as described above. A tractor that does not meet this criteria is DANGEROUS and should not be operated as upset of the unit can occur resulting in possible serious injury and property damage. NOTE: All factory mounted units are tested and meet the ballast requirement before shipment; further testing is not required unless the unit is operated in a manner other than what is considered standard operating conditions.

For additional information on properly ballasting the tractor, refer to Alamo Industrial Tractor and Mower Stability Pamphlet P/N #02959010.

DANGER! Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1500 pound contact with the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Counterweight Procedure.

If the unit is operated on slopes greater than 5°, additional counterweight will be required. Operation of the unit on slopes greater than 11° is not recommended under any circumstances. On a tractor with a 96” outside to outside tire spread, a 11° slope occurs when one rear tractor tire is about 8” lower than the other rear tire.

WARNING! Do not operate the unit under any circumstance if the slope is 10° or greater.

3. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR

The operator must read and completely understand this manual and the tractor operator’s manual before starting any boom mower operation. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation. If the operator of the equipment can not read the manuals for themselves, it is the supervisors responsibility to read and explain the manuals and operating instructions to them.
