TIGER SIDE AND REAR FLAIL MOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Tiger Side and Rear flail mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These mowers are
designed for cutting grass and small weeds. The mower is equipped with protective deflectors to prevent
objects being thrown from the mower by the blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields,
guards, and deflectors equipped on the mower must be maintained in good operational condition.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every
reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the
mower, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are
within 100 yards of the unit.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper mower
use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in
explaining the operation of a Side and Rear flail mower and are not specific to any model. Some pictures may
show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER operate implement without all shields in place and in good
operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the mower and tractor and all associated safety
practices before operating the mower and tractor. Proper operation of the mower, as detailed in this manual,
will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use of the mower.
