OPERATION SECTION Operation Section 4-1 © 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION BUSH HOG 3008 SERIES ROTARY MOWER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION Bush Hog rotary mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are designed to cut grass, weeds, small brush and other vegetative material up to 2” diameter in areas such as pastures, industrial areas, and roadsides. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective.
OPERATION 1. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS 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 2. 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 2.2 Tractor Safety Devices If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning signals are obscured. Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards.
OPERATION 2.5 Drawbar - Pull Type Mower For pull type mowers (540 and 1000 RPM) equipped with an equal-angle driveline, the tractor drawbar must be positioned as follows: 540 RPM at 14” Drawbar 1000 RPM, 1-3/8 at 16” Drawbar OPERATION 1000 RPM, 1-3/4 at 20” Drawbar 2.6 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.
OPERATION Never operate the Tractor and Mower if the Implement input driveline is directly connected to the Tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by the momentum of the rotating Mower blades driving the Tractor transmission even though the Tractor clutch has been disengaged. Install an over running clutch between the Tractor PTO and the Mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation.
OPERATION OPERATION Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11) Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
OPERATION 4. 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. Before starting the tractor ensure the following: • Conduct all pre-start operation inspection and service according to the tractor operator’s manual.
OPERATION OPERATION 5.1 Connecting the Mower-Lift Type and Semi-Mount Type 1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed. 2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid interference when raising and lowering the mower. 3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift arms positioned between the respective set of mower A-frame lift lugs.
OPERATION 5.3 Connecting Mower - Lift Type (Quick Hitch) Crushing Hazard between Quick-Hitch and Implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the Quick-Hitch and implement during hook-up operations. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor. IMPORTANT: The Quick Hitch will move mower further from tractor which will require checking the following: 1. Driveline length 2. Tractor stability 5.
OPERATION OPERATION IMPORTANT: Scan this QR Code with your smart phone to link to the PAMI Safe Implement Hitching Manual for more information on correctly connecting agricultural tractors to implements. Or type in your internet browser the following web address: www.algqr.com/hme Ops-0008-MISC 5.5 Connecting the Mower-Pull Type 1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended 14” from the end of the PTO shaft to the hitch point. 2.
OPERATION 6. SETTING THE MOWER Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive.
OPERATION OPERATION 6.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type 1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground. 2. Using the tailwheel ratchet jack or hydraulic cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes are 1” less off the ground than the desired final cut height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes are 2” off the ground.
OPERATION 7. 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. Reattach the driveline to the PTO Shaft. Lift and Semi-Mount Type - Raise the mower/ Pull Type - Turn sharply and watch the driveline as it approaches the mark.
OPERATION 7.2 Constant Velocity (CV) Driveline Mowers are 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° will result in mechanical damage to the CV joint and mower driveline.
OPERATION 8. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE OPERATION 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.
OPERATION 8.1 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 • • • OPERATION • • • Perform scheduled lubrication as detailed in the maintenance section. Ensure all decals are in place and legible. Ensure the driveline is securely attached to tractor. Make sure the driveline yoke locking collar is securely seated in the grooves of the PTO shaft by pushing and pulling the yoke several times.
OPERATION • • • • • • • Ensure the tractor PTO master shield and the mower slip clutch shield are in place, lowered, and in good condition. Ensure the driveline integral shield is in good condition and rotates freely. Ensure the driveline slip clutch (if equipped) is properly adjusted. OPS-R-0039 Inspect the gearbox oil level. A low oil level is a warning sign that the gearbox may be cracked or its seal is damaged and needs replacement. Ensure the gearbox vent is in place and free from clogs.
OPERATION • • OPERATION • • • Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and excessive wear. Make sure the mower is securely blocked up before crawling beneath. Replace damaged, worn and missing blades as complete sets to maintain rotary balance during operation. Ensure carrier hub nut is tightened with the cotter pin inserted and spread. Ensure the blade carriers are properly timed to avoid blade contact during operation. See instructions to properly time blades in the Maintenance Section.
OPERATION 8.3 Cutting Component Inspection Inspect blade pan and blade assembly for the following: OPERATION OPS-U-0031 3008 SERIES 07/12 © 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION Operating the mower with loose blade hardware will damage the blade holder or blades and can result in blade breakage or blade fastener failure. Broken blades or bolts can be thrown out from under the mower for distances up to 300 feet. When the blades are replaced, the fastening hardware must be replaced. Check and retighten the blade hardware after the first eight hours of operation. In severe cutting conditions, recheck the blade carrier and blade bolt torque every 50 hours.
OPERATION 8.4 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 9. 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.
OPERATION 9.1 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 9.3 Raising the Mower Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever-lift type or hydraulic remote lever-pull and semi-mount type, raise the mower high enough to clear all ground obstacles. When raising the mower, make sure all connection points are securely attached and at least 1” clearance is maintained between the driveline and the deck. If necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch control lever to limit the height the mower can be raised to avoid driveline damage.
OPERATION 9.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020 When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not approach from an angle which is perpendicular or straight on as damage to or over-collapse of the driveline may occur.
OPERATION 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.
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) 10.
OPERATION Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects for great distances (300 ft (100 m) or more) and causing serious injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
OPERATION 10.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed 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 OPERATION 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.
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) Then lower the mower to the desired height and mow the vegetation a second time. If possible, select a mowing pattern that is at a 90 degree angle to the first pass to reduce streaking for a more uniform cut.
OPERATION 10.6 Right of Way (Highway) Mowing • USE DOUBLE CHAIN GUARDS for highway, right-of-way, parks, greenbelt mowing, or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within 300 feet of the mower. • No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. To Reduce Possibility of Injury: 1. MAINTAIN MOWER SHIELDING in good operational condition, OPERATION 2.
OPERATION 10.7 Shutting Down the Implement 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. 11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.
OPERATION 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) 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.
OPERATION 12. MOWER STORAGE 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: • • • • • • It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or tractor damage.
OPERATION OPERATION Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all mower moving parts to come to a complete stop.
