OPERATION

STARTING TRACTOR AND MOWER

Check the operators manual received from the tractor manufacturer, for

their recommendation and procedures pertaining to your particular make and model.

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet
of the machine when mower is in operation.

Be sure the ball valves on the mower hydraulic tank are OPEN before
starting the tractor. Serious damage to the hydraulic system can occur if
the valves are not open.

Check to make sure mower switch is in the “OFF” position. The unit is
designed not to start if the switch is in the “on” position. If tractor starts
with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for
assistance.

Start the tractor and allow the instruments to stabilize. Without starting the

mower, practice positioning the boom and deck. Remember, speed and skill will be
attained easier if the necessary time is spent familiarizing yourself with the machine
and its operations. When you feel comfortable at controlling the position of the
mower, return the mower to the travel position, and transport the mower to the
desired mowing location.

If mowing for the first time with a Tiger Boom Mower, we recommend choosing a

ditch or area relatively flat with a minimum of sign posts, guard rails, etc. As always,
you should inspect the area for other objects that can cause potential hazards.

The Mower Control switch turns the mower “ON” and “OFF”. This switch is to be

in the “OFF” position to start the tractor. The tractor will not start with the switch in
the “ON” position.

If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact
your local Tiger dealership for assistance.
