Tractor, Area Cleanliness
The Tractor, all tools and work area must be clean of dirt and debris when assembling any hydraulic
components. DO NOT leave any hydraulic component open to the elements. DO not use any containers
for fluids that are not clean and free of any other liquids. DO NOT use rags/cloth that has lint or fuzz on them
when working on hydraulic components. Keep all hoses capped until you are ready to connect them.
To help you assemble your new Machete Boom and mount it to your tractor, a detailed assembly
instruction Manual is being provided with the mount kit to provide detailed instructions and part
numbers. Please consult this document for specific information. When needed, you can get
additional information or clarification from Your Dealer or Alamo Group Customer Service.
This publication provides general information not specifically for your case or tractor, but, in
connection with the drawings, this publication offers you some valuable assistance - please read
it thoroughly.
These mount kits are made for selected tractors with standard configurations. Only the noted
options and tire sizes listed in the Mounting Specifications will work with these mount kits. Other
options, front axles, or different tire sizes may prevent the mount kit from fitting your nonstandard
tractor. Alamo Group cannot take responsibility for these problems or any modifications made to
the unit.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Remember to follow each step closely and cautiously. Be aware of all support personnel at all times.
Keep the assembly area as clean as possible; clean up all spills when they occur. An uncluttered
assembly area and a crew that is sensitive to the hazards involved in putting this implement together
will help prevent accidents. Keep all unauthorized personnel from the area. Do not allow children near
the assembly site nor allow them on or near the tractor after assembly. There is no safe place for
anyone except the operator on the tractor and those assisting with the assembly.
