SAFETY General Safety Instructions and Practices SAFETY A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions. 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.
SAFETY Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (SG-30) Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
SAFETY SAFETY PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT 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.
SAFETY Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from ground level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33) Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and hose connections.
SAFETY SAFETY Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including crystalline silica, could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including silicosis. Concrete, masonry, many types of rock, and various other materials contain silica sand. California lists respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. Operation of this equipment under certain conditions may generate airborne dust particles that could contain crystalline silica.
SAFETY Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved rollover-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS. (SG-7) Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY SAFETY 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.
SAFETY 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.
SAFETY 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. SAFETY -Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.
SAFETY Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
SAFETY Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter.
SAFETY Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over.
SAFETY 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. SAFETY Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and the equipment.
SAFETY Secure the Implement for transport before traveling on public roads. For pull-type Implements, secure the center axle using cylinder stops or transport pin and properly attach a safety chain between the Implement and Tractor. Secure wings in upright position on folding Implements using wing transport locks. (STI-7) Always keep a careful lookout and use extreme care when working around overhead obstructions and electrical power lines. The Implement wing can be over 10 feet high.
SAFETY 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) SAFETY 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.
SAFETY Replace bent or broken blades with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN, WELD, OR WELD HARDFACING ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN BLADES. (SGM-10) DO NOT weld or repair rotating mower components. Welds and other repairs may cause severe vibration and/or component failure resulting in part being thrown from the mower causing serious bodily injury. See your Authorized Dealer for proper repairs.

Single and double chain guards are available as extra equipment at extra cost.
OPERATION 2. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS OPERATION Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor.
OPERATION 3. TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power capacity to lift, pull, and operate the Power Take Off (PTO) at the mower’s rated speed while traveling at a ground speed between 2 and 5 MPH. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not meet the following requirements may cause tractor or mower damage and be a potential danger to the operator and passersby.
OPERATION The horsepower required to operate the mower depends on several operating factors including the vegetation to be cut, terrain condition, operator experience, condition of the mower and tractor, and others. For most mowing conditions, the Eagle 10 mower requires a tractor with a minimum of 40 HP and the Eagle15 mower requires a tractor with a minimum of 50 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.
OPERATION 3.5 Front End Weight A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005 3.
OPERATION 3.7 Tire Spacing OPERATION Tractor tires should be set a minimum of 60”(1.5 mm) apart measured from inside of tire to inside of tire. Refer to the tractor Operator’s Manual or consult an authorized dealer for instructions to change tractor tire spacing. OPS-R- 0062 4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor operator manuals.
OPERATION Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10) 4.2 Dismounting the Tractor Use hand rails and steps when exiting the tractor. Be careful of your step and use extra caution when mud, ice, snow or other matter has accumulated on the steps or hand rails. Use all handrails and steps for support and never rush or jump off the tractor.
OPERATION 5. STARTING THE TRACTOR The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed. OPERATION Essential Tractor Controls: • Locate the light control lever. • Locate the engine shut off control. • Locate the brake pedals and the clutch. • Locate the PTO control.
OPERATION 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 and Tractor hitches. (S3PT-15) 6.1 Connecting the Mower Tongue to the Tractor 6.2 Safety Tow Chain If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower.
OPERATION 6.3 Connecting Mower Hydraulic Lines to the Tractor With the tractor shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the tractor by moving the control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position. When connecting the mower hydraulic lines, keep hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination. Never leave a disconnected hose end open and cap the tractor hydraulic outlet ports when not in use.
OPERATION Hydraulic Cylinder Priming Hydraulic Cylinders must be filled with hydraulic oil before removing the wing transport braces to lower the mower wings. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the cylinders fully retract (wing cylinders) and extend (center cylinder). Place control levers in the float position and repeat process a second time. Ensure wings are entirely supported by the cylinders before removing the transport braces.
OPERATION 5. 6. IMPORTANT: Alternate adjustments between rods and adjust at equal lengths to maintain equal tension. Improper adjustments may cause rods to snap or bend. Place split collar assemblies on the center axle hydraulic cylinder rod to maintain a set cutting height each time the mower is raised and lowered. OPERATION LEVELING WING SECTIONS WITH CENTER rTo level the wing sections with the deck center, adjust the leveling screw between the wing axle and the center axle.
OPERATION 8. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt free and greased for attachment. When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached.
OPERATION “Bottoming Out” Check Procedure • • OPERATION • • Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide the profiles together until fully compressed. Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield and reattach the driveline to the PTO shaft. With the PTO NOT TURNING, slowly drive the tractor with mower attached through the sharpest turn possible and watch shaft movement.
OPERATION 8.2 Constant Velocity (CV) Driveline For mowers equipped with a Constant Velocity (CV) driveline, the maximum turning angle between the tractor and mower must be determined to ensure the joint angle does not over-extend which can cause CV joint damage. Constant Velocity joints enable the driveline to operate smoothly with no vibrations and clattering at angles up to 80°. Angles greater than 80° can result in mechanical damage to the CV joint and mower driveline.
OPERATION Do not turn so sharp or lift mower so high to produce a severe "knocking" of the Driveline which will cause accelerated wear and breakage of drive train components and could result in possible injury from the separated Driveline sections. (SRM-04) OPERATION 9. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
OPERATION 9.1 Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service Refer to the tractor operator’s manual to ensure a complete pre-operation inspection and scheduled service is performed according to the manufacturers recommendations.
OPERATION The operator’s manual and safety signs affixed on the unit contain important instructions on the safe and proper use of the equipment. Maintain these important safety features on the implement in good condition to ensure the information is available to the operator at all times. • OPERATION • • • • • • • • Ensure the manual canister is secured to the equipment with the operator’s manual inside. Ensure all safety signs are in place and legible. Replace missing, damaged, and illegible decals.
OPERATION • • • • • • • • Perform scheduled lubrication as specified in the maintenance section. Inspect each gearbox oil level using dipstick level indicator and replenish if needed. A low oil level is a warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged and needs to be replaced. Ensure all gearbox vents are in place and free from clogs. OPS-R-0011_K Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely blocked up before crawling beneath.
OPERATION • OPERATION • • • • • • Ensure each hydraulic cylinder is installed and retained correctly. Ensure the proper size pins are used to retain the cylinders in place and are secured with pins. Check for hydraulic oil leaks on the cylinders, along the hydraulic lines, and at tractor hydraulic ports.IMPORTANT: DO NOT use your hands to check for oil leaks. Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks.
OPERATION 9.3 Cutting Component Inspection Inspect blade pan and blade assembly for the following: OPERATION OPS-U-0031 EAGLE 15 03/09 ©2009 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION Inspect the Blades daily for abnormal wear. REPLACE BOTH BLADES on that carrier IMMEDIATELY if either blade has: OPERATION • • • • • Become bent or deformed from it’s original shape or Any cracks are visible, or Deep gouges in the blade’s surface are persent, or Gouges or chipped areas in the cutting edge are larger than 1/2”(12.7mm), or The material on the leading edge has been worn away by more than 1/2(12.
OPERATION 9.4 Blade Bolt Inspection Inspect Blade Bolt Head daily for wear as followed: OPERATION Inspect the Blade Bolt Heads daily for abnormal wear. REPLACE BOTH BLADE BOLTS on the Blades IMMEDIATELY if either blade bolts has: • Visible cracks or • If the recessed area on blade bolt is worn off or • If Blade Bolt has gouges or chipped areas.

OPERATION 10. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT OPERATION Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012 This Implement is wider than the Tractor.
OPERATION 10.1 Starting the Tractor The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033 Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition.
OPERATION OPERATION Transport Position To raise mower wings, drive the unit to a level area and retract the wing hydraulic cylinders. DO NOT raise wings with the mower positioned on an embankment or other inclined position to prevent overturning the mower. After the wings are fully raised, install transport lock braces to prevent wings from inadvertently falling.
OPERATION 10.4 Driving the Tractor and Cutter Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.
OPERATION OPERATION 10.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid (driveline is at its extreme shortest length).
OPERATION Inclines and ditches should be approached along a line which is at an angle as shown. This type of path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient is so steep that such an approach increases the possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate crossing path. 11. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE.
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) OPERATION 11.
OPERATION Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 feet or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
OPERATION 11.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed OPERATION Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut. Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). Operate the mower at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground speed.
OPERATION Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows closed. (SGM-11) 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.
OPERATION OPERATION When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all mower rotation to come to a complete stop before proceeding to raise the mower. NEVER raise the mower wings while the blades are turning.
OPERATION When mowing across uneven areas such as road shoulders, ditch edges, and other uneven terrain, position mower so that one support wheel is near the highest point to prevent blades from cutting into gravel or dirt which can cause rapid blade wear and extremely severe shock loads on the drivetrain resulting in rapid wear or damage to these components. Blades contacting the ground may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.
OPERATION 11.6 Shutting Down the Implement OPERATION To shut down attached mower head, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head will come to a complete stop within a suitable amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an emergency situation.
OPERATION Never unhitch without using the Tongue Jack. The Tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the Tongue without using the Tongue Jack could cause strains or other injury. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result in crushing injury. Use the Tongue Jack for lifting the Implement only. Overloading the Tongue Jack can cause failure with possible serious bodily injury or even death.
OPERATION 13. MOWER STORAGE It is recommended that the mower be stored with the center section and both wings fully lowered to ground level. If the mower is stored with the wings in the raised position, select a level area and install wing transport braces to prevent the wings from falling BEFORE disconnecting the mower hitch from the tractor. 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.
OPERATION Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10) If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
