INTRODUCTION
These Rotary Mowers are designed for medium-duty work. They can mow pastures and control grass and
weeds on highways or industrial sites up to 3” in diameter.
Your Cutter has been assembled for operation with a tractor PTO input speed of either 540 or 1000 PTO
speed. Should you desire to change PTO input speed, contact you local Alamo Industrial dealer who will assist
you in performing the necessary modifications. This machine is recommended for use with tractors rated 50 hp
(37kw) for 540 and 1000 PTO Speed drive.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE and ANSI standards require the use of Chain
Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Mower manufacturer strongly
recommends the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes
as well to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from
objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.
At least 20% of the tractor’s total weight must be on the front tires with the Mower lifted to
provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills,
rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your
automobile).
