TIGER SABER BOOM MOWEROPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacurer. Tiger Saber Booms are
manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety
Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death. The Saber Boom
is equipped with safety warning decals, protective deflectors, shields and other safety features to provide
operator and passerby protection, however, no shielding is 100% accurate. All safety equipment and safety
warning decals must be maintained on the unit in good operational condition at all times. It is the operators
responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential hazards and to take every reasonable precaution to ensure
oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the boom unit, tractor or a thrown object.
Do not operate the boom and attached head if bystanders,passerby, pets or livestock are within 300 feet of the
unit. Many of the messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner / operator / dealer should
know these Safety Messages and Operating Instructions before assembly and be aware of the hazards of
operating this mower during assembly, use, and maintenance of this equipment.
The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a signal word, as seen below, is intended to warn the owner / operator
ofimpending hazards and the degree of injury possible during operation.
