ALAMO INDUSTRIAL VERSA BOOM MOWER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Alamo Industrial Booms are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The Boom is designed to
attach to a tractor and operate various heads for a wide range of vegetative maintenance applications. The
boom and heads are 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 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
boom unit, tractor or a thrown object. Do not operate the boom and attached head if bystanders, passersby,
pets or livestock are within 300 feet of the unit.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate operators to the safe and
proper use of the boom and attached head. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a
visual aid to assist in explaining the operation of a VERSA and are not specific to a VERSA. Some pictures
may show shields removed to enhance visual clarity. NEVER operate the boom unit without all safety
equipment in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the boom unit and
tractor operation and all safety practices before beginning operation. Proper operation, as detailed in this
manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use of the VERSA.
