SUPER-HEAVY-DUTY FLAIL MOWER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Alamo Industrial SHD flail mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers
are designed for cutting grass and small weeds up to 1”. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors to
prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All
shields, guards, and deflectors equipped on the mower must be maintained 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 100 yards of the unit.

use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in

practices before operating the mower and tractor. Proper operation of the mower, as detailed in this manual,
