The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if followed, will help
protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death. Read and understand these
Safety Messages before assembling, operating or servicing this mower. This equipment
should only be operated by those persons who have read the Manual, who are responsible
and trained, and who know how to do so safely and responsibly.
The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen below, is used
throughout this manual and on decals which are attached to the equipment. The
Safety Alert Symbol means: “ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY
IS INVOLVED!” The symbol and signal word are intended to warn the owner /
operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury when operating
this equipment.
NOTE: Identifies points of particular interest for more efficient or convienient operation
or repair. (SG-1)
SAFETY
DANGER! Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual,
and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor
and Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an
emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel too
operate the Tractor and Implement without supervision. Make sure
the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to
operation. (SG-4)
WARNING! Always maintain the safety decals in good readable condition. If the
decals are missing, damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replace-
ment decals immediately. (SG-5)
WARNING! Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic
regulations. (SG-6)
WARNING! Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify
or alter this Implement, any of its components or any Implement
function. (SG-8)
DANGER! BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
(SG-9)
DANGER! Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
SAFETY
WARNING! Do not mount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor
only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.
(SG-12)
DANGER! Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13)
DANGER! Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted compo-
nent unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to
prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury
or even death. (SG-14)
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is
expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for
leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard. High-
pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin
and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does penetrate the
skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledge-
able and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats,
safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all
times for protection from injury including injury from items thrown by
the equipment. (SG-16)
SAFETY
CAUTION! PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PER-
MANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement
attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing
loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the
noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db
over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss.
Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of
time will cause permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss
from loud noise [from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such
sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope
of natural recovery. (SG-I7)
WARNING! Transport only at safe speeds. Serious accidents and injuries can
result from operating this equipment at unsafe speeds. Understand
the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting
on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes
are in good condition and operate properly.
WARNING! Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners,
worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins
have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not
maintaining this machine in good working order. (SG-21)
WARNING! Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturers instruc-
tions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical
agent. (SG-22)
DANGER! Never run the tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate
ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
(SG-23)
DANGER! DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the
frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-3)
SAFETY
DANGER! NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Imple-
ment, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must
consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medi-
cation that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely.
NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their
alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the
operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)
DANGER! Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated
in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you.
Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or Implement may cause serious
injury or death. (SG-29)
WARNING! Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with
adequate artificial lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions
where you cannot clearly see at least 100 yards in front and to the sides of
the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can clearly see and identify
passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type
of items discontinue mowing. (SGM-1)
DANGER! There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or
even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the
operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone
is within 100 yards of mower. (SGM-2)
DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for
rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such
impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very
high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
SAFETY
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such
obstacles. (SGM-4)
WARNING! Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by
the operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign
object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is
balanced before resuming mowing. (SGM-5)
WARNING! Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could
then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such
a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to
contact such items. (SGM-6)
WARNING! Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type,
density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph.
Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes,
ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and
foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-7)
WARNING! Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there
are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when mowing in
reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and
control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you have not
inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8)
WARNING! Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and
the decks are securely blocked up. (SGM-9)
DANGER! Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSE-
QUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)
WARNING! Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors
with the windows closed. (SGM-11)
SAFETY
-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good,
working condition;
-Mower Head is running close to and parallel to the ground
without exposed Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign
material such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris
has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: in-
spected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected closely with any remaining debris removed,
and mowed again at desired final height. (SBM-1)
WARNING! Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1,000 pounds contact with
the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which
could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel
tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions
or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Couterweight
Procedure. (SFL-3)
WARNING! Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO
and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source
of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace
them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have
been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the
Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and
broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce
the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never
allow the Mower to be operated with blades missing. (SFL-4)
WARNING! Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower
deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially
serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from
objects thrown from the Blades. (SRM-7)
DANGER! Use extreme caution when raising the Mower head. Stop the Blades
from turning when the Mower Head is raised and passersby are within
100 yards. Raising the Mower head exposes the Cutting Blades
which creates a potentially serious hazard and can cause serious
injury by objects thrown from the Blades or by contact with the Blades.
(SBM-2)
WARNING! Never leave the Tractor and Implement unattended while the Implement is
in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic
failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing.
To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor,
lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure
SAFETY
support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.
Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (S3PT-1)
DANGER! Always disconnect the wire leads from the mower valve solenoid before
performing service on the Tractor or Mower. Use caution when working
on the Tractor or Mower. Tractor engine must be stopped before
working on Mower or Tractor. The Mower Blades could inadvertently be
turned on without warning and cause immediate dismemberment, injury
or death. (SBM-12)
WARNING! Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings.
Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow
ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the
wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.
(S3PT-
5)
WARNING! Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-9)
DANGER! This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating
or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running
into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other
solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor
to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or
even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-
12)
DANGER! The flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation(same rotation
as the tractor wheel during forward travel). Never operate the cutter
shaft in the reverse rotation. Operating this mower in reverse
rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower
head.
WARNING! The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the Tractor
has been turned off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60
seconds after the brake has been set, the PTO disengaged, the tractor
turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased. (SBM-5)

MOWER MOUNTING
Check that all grease zerks have been installed in the draft beams pivot arm, left linkage arm,
right linkage arm, and cylinder mounting ears.
Using a clevis pin and roll pins, connect the pivot arm to clevis on draft beam. NOTE: Make
sure the longer distance between the cutout and the end of the pivot arm is closest to the draft
beam pivot ears on the center tube as shown in the diagram below. Also make sure the cutout
on the pivot arm faces into tube of draft beam. (ASM-C-0077)
Slide other end of pivot arm with short distance between the cut-out and the end of the pivot
arm, into the cylinder clevis. Next, line up the holes of the left and right lift linkage arms outside
of the cylinder clevis holes. Connect with linkage pin, shims (as required), boss, cap-screw,
lock-washer and hex nut as shown.
To connect the bonnet to the draft beam, slide the extension arms of the draft beam between
the mounting ears on the inner end of the bonnet. Line up the holes and secure with swivel pin,
cap-screw, lock-washer, and hex nut (both sides). See parts book illustration.
Next, slide the left and right linkage arms up to the slotted ear on the side of the deck.
Secure with linkage pin, shims, boss, cap-screw, lock-washer and hex nut. See illustration in
Parts Section.
NOTE: When the outboard cylinder is fully extended, the bonnet or deck should either be up
against the stop or if travel locks are installed, it should be up against the travel lock. It may be
necessary to use either external or internal slugs on the cylinder to get the correct stroke. If the
cutter head is against the stop and the cylinder has stoke remaining, serious damage will occur.
Proceed to final preparation for operation instructions on the next page. ASM-SIDE MNTS-0003)
Install the fittings in the butt end of the outboard cylinder, as shown in the commons section.
These should be positioned to face the rod end of the cylinder. Next, install the O-ring breather
in the rod end of the cylinder.
Install the outboard cylinder in the hole in the draft beam as shown above. Install the pin into
the draft beam and cylinder and secure with R-clips. (ASM-CBL DRFT BEAM-0001)
TURNBUCKLE ADJUSTMENT
Extend the outboard cylinder until the deck touches the stop on the draft beam. Hold the
deck in this position to adjust the lift cable tension. Adjust turn buckle until cable is tight.
Lower and raise the deck to check adjustment. The mower deck should reach it’s stop on
the draft beam at the same time the outboard cylinder reaches it’s extreme extended position.
Finally tighten the turn buckle lock nuts securely. It will be necessary to readjust the turn
buckle after the cable has stretched from use. (ASM-SIDE MNTS-0005)
Finally, all bosses, pins and pivot points will need to be greased as instructed in the
maintenance section of this manual. The hydraulic reservoir can also be filled with the
recommended fluid (see maintenance section) and the filter installed in the top of the tank.
Double check all fittings and fasteners BEFORE starting tractor. Also secure any loose hoses
together with zip ties and wrap with split hoses where friction may occur on the hoses.
BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand the
safety and operation sections of this manual completely.
BE SURE THE BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! Start tractor and allow instruments to stabilize.
Using a piece of paper or cardboard as noted in the safety and maintenance sections, check all
fittings and connections for hydraulic leaks.
If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor, set the cutter on the ground. Before
attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles several times to relieve any
pressure in the lines.
Before operating the mower, the cutter head and boom should be slowly moved throughout
the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that would cause pinching or excess stress on
the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should also be carefully moved through their full
range of motion. If any condition occurs in which the hoses contact the tires, the steering and /
or front axle travel may need to be limited as described in the tractor operators manual. This
should also be done if the tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of the mower such as
the hydraulic tank or draft beam. This may include adding shims, or adjusting stop bolts in the
tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion, you should also check that the control
circuits are connected according to the operators decal for the valve handles.
MOWER TESTING
Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the cylinders through
their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air. Follow the instructions in the operation
section to operate the mower. Vibration of the mower should be minimal at all times. After a 5
minute test run, the knife bolts should be retorqued and once again after the first few hours of
operation.
If any parts of this assembly section, or any other section of this manual are
not clearly understood you must contact your dealer or the address on the front of
this manual for assistance!(ASM-C-0010)
Tiger Side Rotary Mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The side mower positions
may optionally be controlled with the tractors remote hydraulic connections or a combination of lift valve and
remote hydraulics. If so, determine which position of the mower is to be controlled by each remote lever. The

breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
OPERATION
7. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing
parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time
and repair cost can be avoided. OPS-U-0029
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn
or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
attaching hardware. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this

Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)
OPERATION
Check the fluid level in the Hydraulic Tank on the Tractor, and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out
of the Cylinders and Hoses, it goes into the Hydraulic Tank and reduces the volume of oil. Maintain the oil level
within the sight gauge located on the side of the reservoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for
the expansion of the oil. The tank maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when
removing the breather cap element to prevent possible injury.
OPS-R-215
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.

Table 1:
OPERATION
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)
OPERATION
clearance for the units when turning.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing should be increased
when working on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill. DO
NOT coast or free-wheel downhill. OPS-U- 0014
7.7
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not
approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damage may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the implement should
be fully lowered for a lower center of gravity and
added stability. OPS-R-206
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the
operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object.
Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced
before resuming mowing. (SGM-05)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
(SGM-06)
OPERATION
there are no foreign objects that the mower blades
could hit or become entangled with. Remove all
foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to
remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent
the mower blades from contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the
mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the
engine speed. Wait for all mower rotating motion to
stop, then raise the mower and move the tractor
and implement off the object. Inspect the area and
remove, or mark the location of the debris. Inspect
the condition of the mower and make any needed
repairs immediately. Make sure the blades are not
damaged and the carrier is balanced before Remove Foreign Material
resuming operation.
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from
the Blades. (SRM-07)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only. (SG-9)
OPERATION
range which provides the most ideal performance from the mower and most efficient tractor operation. As the
severity of cutting conditions increase, the ground speed should be decreased by selecting a lower gear to
maintain the proper speed. OPS-R-210
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The
correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of
cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds
when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-07)
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause serious injury or death. (SG-29)
MOWER LIFT
The handle nearest the center of the tractor, actuates the Lift Cylinder (Inboard).
Pulling the valve handle back, towards the operator, causes the Lift Cylinder to raise the Extension Arm.
If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the Extension Arm will be locked in
place.
Pushing the valve handle forward, away from the operator, causes the Lift Cylinder to lower the Extension Arm.
Pulling the handle all the way back until it locks places the mower lift function in float, allowing the unit to rise
and fall with the terrain.
OPERATION
MOWER TILT
The handle furthest to the center of the tractor, actuates the Tilt Cylinder (Outboard).
Pulling the valve handle back, toward the operator, causes the Tilt Cylinder to raise the Mower Head.
If the handle is released, the valve will automatically return to center and the head will be locked in place.
Pushing the valve handle forward, away from the operator, causes the Tilt Cylinder to lower the Mower Head.
HEAD PITCH
Incorrect head pitch and/or alignment can cause poor cutting performance in side rotary mowers.
Head Pitch is defined as the relationship of the front of the mower to the rear of the mower, as viewed from the
side. The desired head pitch for the Side Rotary mowers is for the blade at the front of the mower to be
between 3/4" and 1" lower than the blade at the rear.
OPERATION
MEASUREMENT OF HEAD PITCH
1. CUT MOWER OFF AND ALLOW BLADES TO STOP ROTATING
2. Move machine to a flat, level area such as a concrete slab
3. Lower mower head to within several inches of the ground but do not rest head on ground.
4. Stop engine.
5. Position blades toward front and rear. Measure the distance from the bottom of the blade tips to the
ground, with the blades hanging (at rest). Use two people to measure. Normal drift of the cylinders will
cause inaccurate measurements if the front and rear not measured at the same time. DO NOT ALLOW
ANOTHER PERSON TO OPERATE THE CONTROLS WHILE MEASUREMENTS ARE BEING TAKEN.
6. Bent blades, bars, pans, or loose bolts will make measurements useless.
ALIGNMENT
Head alignment is defined as the relationship of the centerline of the mower to the centerline of the tractor. The
desired alignment is that the centerlines of the tractor and mower are parallel to each other.
Misalignment contributes to “streaking” due to the skid shoe laying a wide strip of grass flat. This flattened
grass is sometimes not picked up by the mower on subsequent passes. Misalignment also contributes to
excessive power consumption because the side skirts tend to “doze” material against the side of the mower,
adding drag to the tractor.
Alignment problems can easily be seen by standing in the front or rear of the machine. Align the front and rear
of the machine. Align the front and rear edges of the rear tire and compare to the side skirt of the mower
(mower head resting on the ground).
reads in red even after unit is hot, then filter must be replaced.
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an
emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate
the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator
has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation. (SG-4)
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately. (SG-5)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only. (SG-9)
OPERATION
The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow the instructions for this control in
the tractor operator’s manual. The tilt of the rear mower is controlled with the third spool of the lift valve, and is
coordinated as shown in Figure Ops-1246.
The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractor’s remote hydraulic connections
or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If so, determine which position of the side or rear mower is
to be controlled by each remote lever.
The side mower ON/OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve stand or cable controls for non-
cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear mower, the ON/OFF switch is located in the switch box with
a side mower switch.
This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp gauge or oil pressure gauge. If
oil temperature reaches 200° F, stop mowers and see Troubleshooting Section for possible causes. Keep
and eye on all gauges for indication of problems.
the operating speed of the mower. A slower ground speed will permit grasses to at least partially rebound and
be cut. Taking a partial cut and/or reversing the direction of travel may also help produce a cleaner cut.
Avoid mowing in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the mower must be backed to
access areas to be cut, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the mower before
mowing in reverse. When mowing in reverse, operate the tractor and mower at a reduced ground speed to
ensure tractor and mower control is maintained. OPS-R-211
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows
closed. (SGM-11)
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing. (SGM-01)
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires
while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes.
Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from
the mower deck. (SGM-12)
OPERATION
start under a load. Bring the RPM of the tractor up to 1200 and engage the side mower. If a rear mower is
being used, allow the RPM to return to 1200 before engaging the rear mower.
The rotary mower deck should always be carried rather than dragged on the skid shoes when mowing on the
ground. Dragging the rotary mower heads causes an extreme side load on the tractor resulting in premature
tire wear. It also causes excessive horsepower consumption and drastically decreases blade life. Dragging the
rear mower can also cause damage to the road. Once the necessity skill is attained at controlling the height
and position of the side rotary mower, it will be easy to carry the mower head(s) and do a proficient job of
cutting.
When cutting tall shrubs or small trees (maximum recommended size of material to be cut is 2” diameter),
begin each pass at the top of the material and work down with each consecutive pass. Use a low speed to
allow the cutting blades time to mulch as well as cut the foliage. When the initial pass has been made,
disengage the mower and return the mower to the travel position. Return to the starting point and make next
pass.
When using the rotary cutting head for trimming trees and shrubs, let the mower saw into
them. Do not lower the mower head down directly onto a tree or stump. The mower blades
are designed to cut with the end, and misuse can cause damage to the blade and a
hazardous situation for the operator.
To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1800-2200 RPM. If the tractor
slows less than 1800 RPM, shift to the next lower gear. DO NOT ride the clutch, this will cause premature
clutch failure. The engine should not be operated at any time at more than 2400 RPM on the tractor
tachometer.
DO NOT use excessive force when positioning cutting head into heavy branches or small stumps (2”
diameter). Damage to the unit may result. It is best to let the cutter head “eat away” slowly at heavy cutting
jobs.
The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power if the knives are kept sharp.
If the mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for wire wrapped in the spindle or damaged knives.
When replacing knives, replace all knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not
vibrate. Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used. Follow the instructions in the
Maintenance Section closely when replacing knife blades.
If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation, turn mower switch
“OFF” immediately! After shutdown, never leave the tractor or allow bystanders to approach
within 300 feet of the unit until all motion stops completely.
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from
the Blades. (SRM-07)
Do not mow or drive the tractor into material that is burning or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot
spots. Burning material, sparks and coals could be thrown from the mower to areas of vegetation that might
ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and mower could
ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish
possible fires encountered.
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not
limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox
Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should
be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be
inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken,
or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death
from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)
OPERATION
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
(SGM-06)
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard
rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown
outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles. (SGM-4)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only. (SG-9)
Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running tractor and the mower
when disconnecting the implement from the tractor.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement.
(SRM-20)
OPERATION
Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
• Thoroughly clean all debris off the mower to
prevent damage from rotting grass and
standing water.
• Lubricate all mower grease points and fill oil
levels as detailed in the maintenance section.
• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended

parts. Perform repairs and make repairs
immediately so that the mower will be ready
for use at the start of the next season.
• Store the mower in a clean, dry place with the
mower housing resting securely on blocks or
at ground level.
• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary
to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of
the mower.
OPS-R-214
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations. (SG-6)
When transporting between job sites or between cutting passes, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Shut off the power to the cutting head(s) and allow all motion to come to a complete stop.
2. Raise the draft beam to its highest position.
3. Raise the side mower until the deck stops against the draft beam.
4. Raise the rear mower with the 3-point hitch control lever. The unit is now in position for self-transportation.

trailer. Make sure the tractor (and rear mower) and trailer are within legal transporting width. Lower the rear
mower onto the trailer and set the loose hide mower on the trailer. Secure the tractor and mowers to the trailer
with chains. Check the tractor operator’s manual for any requirements to transport by flatbed trailer. Reverse
this procedure to unload and remount the mowers after transporting. Be sure all pins are secure, all
connections are tight and any lost fluid is replaced before using mowers. Use teflon tape when connecting all
pipe style fittings.

OPERATION
12.3 Hauling the Tractor and Implement
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement,
measure the height and width dimensions and gross
weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the
load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for
the areas that will be traveled through. OPS-U- 0024
OPERATION
HYDRAULIC MOTOR NOT WORKING - Check lines for kinks or if they are pinched. If the motor is “bogging
down” under load, recheck the relief valve setting on the cutter valve.
HYDRAULIC VALVE - Failures in the hydraulic system are almost always caused by other elements in the
system other than the valve; so the entire system should be checked before the valve is changed. A
malfunction In any hydraulic valve section will require replacement of that section (but not the replacement of
the valve bank) since the insides are honed to fit individually. Attachments such as the relief valves and detent
may be serviced individually.
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
Failure in structural members generally results from rough treatment. While they are constructed to withstand
abuse, they cannot be made strong enough to withstand abnormal abuse. The factory does not warrant these
parts to any extent other than in normal use in grass, weeds, brush, small bushes, and small trees which the
unit is designed to cut. This mounted implement removes weight from front wheels and can cause loss of
steerage with possible overturn. Add front end weight until 20% of tractor original weight is on front wheels
when boom is in transport position for steering safety & prevention of bodily injury. Transport slowly on rough
surface to prevent bouncing front wheels off surface with loss of steerage and possible injury
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Tiger Mowers are designed for high performance and rugged durability, yet with simplified maintenance. The
purpose of this section of the manual is to help the operator in the regular servicing of the mower. Regular
maintenance at the intervals mentioned will result in the maximum efficiency and long life of the Tiger Mower.
When you purchase a Tiger Mower you also acquire another valuable asset, Tiger’s parts organization. Our
rapid and efficient service has guaranteed the customer satisfaction for many years. Tiger parts keep up with
the demands for efficiency, safety and endurance expected of the Tiger Mower.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure end of grease gun and zerks are clean before using. Debris injected into bearings, etc. with grease
will cause immediate damage.
• DO NOT use a power grease gun to lubricate bearings. These require very small and exact amounts of
lubrication. Refer to the detailed maintenance section for specific lubrication instructions. DO NOT over-
grease bearings.
• Lexan windows should be washed with mild soap or detergent and luke warm water, using a soft clean
sponge or soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or alkaline cleaners or metal scrapers on lexan windows!
• Be alert to maintenance indicators such as the in-tank filter pressure gauge, hydraulic reservoir sight
gauge, etc. Take the required action to correct any problems immediately.
• Release of energy from pressurized systems may cause inadvertent actuation of cylinders, or sudden
release of compressed springs. Before disconnecting any hoses relieve pressure by shutting tractor off,
setting cutter on ground and actuating lift valve handles.
DO NOT use hands to check for suspected leaks in hydraulic hoses! Hydraulic fluid
escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious
injury. If fluid is injected into skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Use a small piece of wood or cardboard, not hands, to search for pin
hose leaks. Be sure all connections are tight and hoses and lines are not damaged before
applying pressure.
BREAK IN PERIOD
In addition to following the break in instructions for your particular tractor, the in-tank hydraulic fluid filter should
be replaced after the first 50 hours of service. Thereafter the filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or
yearly, whichever comes first.
Re-torque wheel lugs after first five hours of operation and periodically thereafter. See torque specifications
listed in the tractor’s service manual for your particular model. Wheel lugs must always be re-torqued
whenever a wheel is removed and reinstalled.
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death. (SG-14)
Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this
Implement, any of its components or any Implement function. (SG-8)
Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement.
Place the Mower Head on the ground or securely supported on blocks or stands, disengage
the PTO, and turn off the engine. Push and pull the control Levers or Joystick several times
to relieve pressure prior to starting any maintenance or repair work. (SBM-6)
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the wire leads from the mower pump solenoid
before performing service on the Tractor or Mower. Use caution when
working on the Tractor or Mower. Tractor engine must be stopped
before working on Mower or Tractor. The Mower Blades could inadvertently be turned on
without warning and cause immediate dismemberment, injury or death. (SBM-12a)
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
The intervals at which regular servicing should be done are based on hours of operation. Use the tractors hour
meter to determine when regular servicing is required.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL
Butyl cellosolve (for removal or paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.) The use of masking tape, adhesive tape
or link removal tools work well for lifting off old weathered paints.
To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene of VM&P naphtha are generally effective. When the
solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.
If a material is found to be incompatible in a short-term test, it will usually be found to be incompatible in the
field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable performance is no guarantee that actual end-use
conditions have been duplicated. Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is
recommended that the user test the products under actual end-use conditions.
MAINTENANCE
wrench-or-ratchet and turning in a counterclockwise
rotation, (looking at the bottom of the bowl) remove
the bowl from the head, The first couple rotations
will seem tight as the o-ring passes the sealing flats.
Once the o-ring has cleared the sealing flats, the
bowl should spin freely. Taking care not to drop the
bowl, finish removing the bowl from the head.
WARNING: Bowl will be full of oil! Pour the oil from the bowl into a container, this oil should be considered
contaminated due to the flow direction through the element is outside-in. Clean the inside of the bowl if “dirt” is
present. Remove the old element from the filter head by pulling with a rotation motion. Dispose of the used
element properly. Remove the new element from the packaging. Using your finger, dab and lubricate the o-ring
in the top of the new element. Install the new element into and on the mounting boss within the head; assure
that the element is fully seated on the boss. Clean and inspect the o-ring that is affixed in the bowl, lubricate
with oil. Using a clockwise rotation, screw the bowl back into the head, assuring that the bowl has not been
cross threaded into the head. Continue to “tighten” the bowl into the head, using the spanner wrench-or-
ratchet, the rotation of the bowl will become tighter once the o-ring engages the sealing flats. Once the bowl
has bottomed out, “back-off” the bowl by 1/6 turn, this assures that the o-ring is seated properly with in the
sealing flats. Element change out and re-assembly is now complete. Start the machine and inspect the filter
area checking that there is no oil leaking from the filter assembly. This is first to be done at 50 hours of
operation, then yearly (500 hours) or when indicated by restriction indicator.
MAINTENANCE
zerks on the linkage and pivot bosses. Inject
Lithium-Complex Extreme Pressure grease
conforming to NLGI2-ISO 320 specifications until it
protrudes from the ends. With the cutter head in this
position it is also possible to grease the draft beam
cylinder anchors and pins. Now raise the cutter
head expose the remaining zerks on the deck tilt
linkages and on the other end of the cylinder.
BALL VALVES
The ball valves at the hydraulic reservoir may need
to be closed during certain maintenance or repair
procedures. THE BALL VALVES MUST BE OPEN
(handle parallel with valve) WHEN TRACTOR IS
RE-STARTED OR WHEN THE PUMP IS
COUPLED TO MOTOR OR P.T.O.! Failure to do so
will result in component failure!
MAINTENANCE
GREASING SPINDLE
Locate grease fitting on inside of deck housing.
Inject Tiger Spindle Lubricant, part number
06540000 into spindle housing. Fill with lubricant
until lubricant weeps out of top spindle seal.
Lubricate spindle weekly or every 40 hours of use.
Blades
Check the Blades for cracks and wear and Blade Bolts for tightness, daily. Blades should be replaced when
they are worn excessively, bent, deformed, or out of balance.
Blades should always be replaced in pairs. Blades of different weights can cause serious
imbalance and damage to the machine and personnel. When replacing blades, take care to
replace the blade bolts, nuts, and washers.
Make sure the mower blades are turning clockwise when looking
down from the top of the mower. Follow the color coding on the
MAINTENANCE
hydraulic hoses and fittings to make sure the motor and hydaulics
hoses are assembled properly. Connect the red hose connection only
to red fitting. Connect the blue hose connection only to the blue
fitting. The blade rotation on the leading edge of the mower should
discharge the cut material away from the tractor and operator.
If the leading edge of the mower blades are rotating backwards they
can discharge material toward the operator. If this occurs discontinue
mowing immediately and revers the direction of the motor rotation by
correctly installing the motor pressure and return hoses. Contact
your dealer or Alamo Industrial for specific information on the hose
routing.
BLUE RED
WHEN CUTTING HEAVY BRUSH, KNIFE BOLTS SHOULD BE INSPECTED HOURLY AND
RETORQUED TO 1070 DRY OR 800 OILED FT./LBS.
BEARING INSTALLATION
1. Press upper bearing cup into the spindle
housing
2. Turn the spindle housing over and press in the
lower bearing cup.
3. Place the lower bearing cone in the bearing
cup. Next press the seal into the spindle
MAINTENANCE
BEARING ADJUSTMENT
1. Clamp the bottom end of the spindle securely in
a vise so the spindle housing turns freely.
2. Position a magnetic base dial indicator on the
outer diameter of the spindle housing. Locate
the end of the dial indicator against the flat end
of the spindle shaft. The dial indicator will now
measure accurately bearing end play.
3. Tighten the bearing adjustment nut until there is
0.012 inch movement when the spindle housing
is pried upward away from the vise jaws.
4. When there is 0.012 inch free play between the
spindle and housing, install the bearing lock nut
(thick nut). Hold the adjusting nut securely and
tighten the lock nut to 300 ft. lbs. of torque.
5. After the lock nut is tightened, there must be 0.001 inch to 0.003 inch of free play when lightly prying up on
the spindle housing.
If the end play is correct, 0.001 inch to 0.003 inch, bend tabs up on jam washer to prevent the lock nut from
loosening.
If the end play is NOT correct, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjustment nut as required and re-tighten the
lock nut. Repeat first part of step 5.
