TIGER ROTARY MOWER

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Tiger rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed to cut grass, weeds, crop stalks, brush and other vegetation up to 2” diameter. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors, and chains equipped on the unit must be maintained on the mower in good operational condition.

It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the mower, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are within 300 feet of the unit.

This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper mower use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in explaining the operation of a flex-wing rotary mower and are not necessarily of a Tiger cutter. Some pictures may show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE this implement without all shields in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the mower and tractor operation and all associated safety practices before operating the mower and tractor. Proper operation of the mower, as detailed in this manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use.

IMPORTANT: To avoid mower damage, retorque all bolts after the first 10 hours of operation.
