ALAMO A96B MEDIUM-DUTY ROTARY MOWER
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Alamo A96B rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are
designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 2” diameter in areas such as
pastures, industrial areas, and roadsides. 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
directly in front or to the rear 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 rotary mower and are not of a A96B cutter. Some pictures may show shields
removed for purposes of 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 of the mower.
