- NOISE STATEMENT -
The equivalent daily personal noise exposure from this machine measured at the operators’ ear is
within the range 78 – 85 dB, these figures apply to a normal distribution of use where the noise
fluctuates between zero and maximum. The figures assume that the machine is fitted to a tractor with
a ‘quiet’ cab with the windows closed in a generally open environment. We recommend that the
windows are kept closed. With the cab rear window open the equivalent daily personal noise
exposure will increase to a figure within the range 82 – 88 dB. At an equivalent daily noise exposure
level of 85 – 90 dB ear protection is recommended and must always be used if any window is left
open.
Operating, servicing and maintaining this equipment can
expose you to chemicals including gasoline, diesel fuel,
lubricants, petroleum products, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, and phthalates, which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as
necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands
frequently when servicing your vehicle. 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. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. This website,
operated by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, provides information
about these chemicals and how individuals may be exposed to them.

POWER ARM INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
A daily equipment inspection of the tractor and mower should be conducted before the
equipment is used. You may use the inspection sheets to assist with these daily
inspections. Any damaged or missing guards should be repaired or replaced before
operating the mower. Failure to repair the damaged shield can result in objects being
thrown from the mower and possibly hitting the operator or bystander.
Inspect the Mower for Safe Operating Condition
Make sure the driveline guards and shielding are in place and in good repair.
Inspect the flexible thrown object shielding to assure that they are in place on the
front and rear of the mower head and in good repair. Repair or replace any
damaged or missing thrown object shields.
Ensure the mower cutting height is set high enough to reduce the possibility of the
mower blades contacting the ground. Actual height will be dependent on the ground
conditions. Increase the height when working in rough or undulating conditions.
Inspect for broken, chipped, bent, missing, or severely worn blades. Replace
damaged blades before operating the mower. Ensure the blade retaining bolts and
fasteners are secure and tight.
Ensure all head bolts and nuts are tight.
Lubricate the driveline universal joints and telescoping members daily.
Grease the rotor and roller bearings and inspect their condition.
Inspect for any oil leaks or damaged hoses
Inspect for worn or damaged decals and safety instructions. Replace unreadable,
damaged or missing safety decals.
Follow the operator’s manual(s) inspection and maintenance instructions for
lubricating parts, and keeping thrown object shielding, driveline guards, rotating
parts shields, mower blades and decals in good repair.
Inspect the Tractor for Safe Operating Condition:
Inspect the controls, lights, SMVs (Slow Moving Vehicle sign), seat belts, and
ROPS to assure that they are in place and in good working order.
Be sure the tires, wheels, lug bolts/nuts are in good condition.
Make sure the tractor brakes and steering are in proper operating condition.
Follow the operator’s manual(s) inspection and maintenance procedures for
keeping the tractor in good and safe condition before operating.
The inspection sheet on the following page should be kept in this book as a record. A
second sheet is included for you to cut out and photocopy.

SAFETY SECTION
This machine has the potential to be extremely dangerous, in the wrong hands it can kill or
maim. It is therefore imperative that both owner, and operator of this machine, read and
understand the following section to ensure that they are fully aware of the dangers that do,
or may exist, and their responsibilities surrounding the use and operation of the machine.
The operator of this machine is responsible not only for their own safety but equally for the
safety of others who may come into the close proximity of the machine, as the owner you
are responsible for both.
When the machine is not in use the cutting head should be lowered to rest on the ground.
In the event of a fault being detected with the machine’s operation it should be stopped
immediately and not used again until the fault has been corrected by a qualified technician.
POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF THIS
MACHINE:
▲Being hit by debris thrown by rotating components.
▲Being hit by machine parts ejected through damage during use.
▲Being caught on a rotating power take-off (PTO) shaft.
▲Being caught in other moving parts i.e.: belts, pulleys and cutting heads.
▲Electrocution from Overhead Power Lines (by contact with or ‘flashover’ from).
▲Being hit by cutting heads or machine arms as they move.
▲Becoming trapped between tractor and machine when hitching or unhitching.
▲Tractor overbalancing when machine arm is extended.
▲Injection of high-pressure oil from hydraulic hoses or couplings.
▲Machine overbalancing when freestanding (out of use).
▲Road traffic accidents due to collision or debris on the road.

5
BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE YOU MUST:
▲Ensure you read all sections of the operator handbook.
▲Ensure the operator is, or has been, properly trained to use the machine.
▲Ensure the operator has been issued with and reads the operator handbook.
▲Ensure the operator understands and follows the instructions in operator handbook..
▲Ensure that all machine guards are in position, are undamaged, and are kept
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
▲Ensure flails and their fixings are of a type recommended by the manufacturer, are
securely attached and that none are missing or damaged.
▲Ensure hydraulic pipes are carefully and correctly routed to avoid damage by chaffing,
stretching or pinching and that they are held in place with the correct fittings.
▲Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for attachment and removal of the
machine from the tractor.
▲Check that the machine fittings and couplings are in good condition.
▲Ensure the tractor meets the minimum weight recommendations of the machine’s
manufacturer and that ballast is used as necessary.
▲Always inspect the work area thoroughly before starting to note obstacles and remove
wire, bottles, cans and other debris.
▲Use clear suitably sized warning signs to alert others to the nature of the machine
working within that area. Signs should be placed at both ends of the work site. (It is
recommended that signs used are of a size and type specified by the Department of
Transport and positioned in accordance with their, and the Local Highways Authority,
guidelines).
▲Ensure the operator is protected from noise. Ear defenders should be worn and tractor
cab doors and windows must be kept closed. Machine controls should be routed
through proprietary openings in the cab to enable all windows to be shut fully.
▲Always work at a safe speed taking account of the conditions i.e.: terrain, highway
proximity and obstacles around and above the machine. Extra special attention should
be applied to Overhead Power Lines. Some of our machines are capable of reach in
excess of 8 metres (26 feet) this means they have the potential to well exceed, by
possibly 3 metres (9’ 9”), the lowest legal minimum height of 5.2 metres from the
ground for 11,000 and 33,000 volt power lines. It cannot be stressed enough the
dangers that surround this capability, it is therefore vital that the operator is fully aware
of the maximum height and reach of the machine, and that they are fully conversant
with all aspects regarding the safe minimum distances that apply when working with
machines in close proximity to Power Lines. (Further information on this subject can be
obtained from the Health & Safety Executive or your Local Power Company).
▲Always disengage the machine, kill the tractor engine, remove and pocket the key
before dismounting for any reason.
▲Always clear up all debris left at the work area, it may cause hazard to others.
▲Always ensure when you remove your machine from the tractor that it is left in a safe
and stable position using the stands and props provided and secured if necessary.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY ADVICE
Training
Operators need to be competent and fully capable of operating this machine in a safe and
efficient way prior to attempting to use it in any public place. We advise therefore that the
prospective operator make use of relevant training courses available such as those run by
Agricultural Training Boards, Agricultural Colleges and Dealers.
Working in Public Places
When working in public places such as roadsides, consideration should be paid to others
in the vicinity. Stop the machine immediately when pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders
etc. pass. Restart only when they are at a distance that causes no risk to their safety.
Warning Signs
It is advisable that any working area be covered by suitable warning signs and statutory in
public places. Signs should be highly visible and well placed in order to give clear
advanced warning of the hazard. Contact the Department of Transport or your Local
Highways Authority to obtain detailed information on this subject. The latter should be
contacted prior to working on the public highway advising them of the time and location of
the intended work asking what is required by way of signs and procedure. – ‘Non-
authorised placement of road signs may create an offence under Highway Regulations’.
Use of Warning Signs
▲On two-way roads one set of signs is needed facing traffic in each direction.
▲Work should be within 1 mile of the signs.
▲Work only when visibility is good and at times of low risk e.g.: NOT during ‘rush-hour’.
▲Vehicles should have an amber-flashing beacon.
▲Ideally, vehicles should be conspicuously coloured.
▲Debris should be removed from the road and path as soon as practicable, and at
regular intervals, wearing high visibility clothing and before removing the hazard
warning signs.
▲Collect all road signs promptly when the job is completed.
Although the information given here covers a wide range of safety subjects, it is impossible to
predict every eventuality that can occur under differing circumstances whilst operating this
machine. No advice given here can replace ‘good common sense’ and ‘total awareness’ at all times,
but will go a long way towards the safe use of your Tiger machine.

9
TRACTOR PREPARATION
Wheel Width
Set wheel widths as wide as possible.
Lift Links
Adjust lift links until they are equal length.
Tractor Ballast
It is imperative when attaching ‘third-party’ equipment to a tractor that the maximum
possible stability of the machine and tractor combination is achieved – this can be
accomplished by the utilization of ‘ballast’ in order to counter-balance the additional
equipment added.
Front Weights
Front weights may be required to place 15% of total outfit weight on the front axle for
stable transport on the road and to reduce ‘crabbing’ due to the drag of the cutting unit
when working on the ground.
Rear Weights
Rear weights may be required to maintain a reasonable amount of rear axle load on the
opposite wheel from the arms when in work; for normal off-ground work i.e. hedge cutting
this should be 20% of rear axle weight or more for adequate control, and for ground work
i.e. verge mowing with experienced operators, this can be reduced to 10%.
All factors must be addressed in order to match the type and nature of the equipment
added to the circumstances under which it will be used – in the instance of Power Arm
Hedgecutters it must be remembered that the machines centre of gravity during work will
be constantly moving and will differ from that during transport mode, therefore balance
becomes critical.
Factors that effect stability:
Centre of gravity of the tractor/machine combination.
Geometric conditions, e.g. position of the cutting head and ballast.
Weight, track width and wheelbase of the tractor.
Acceleration, braking, turning and the relative position of the cutting head during these
operations.
Ground conditions, e.g. slope, grip, load capability of the soil/surface.
Rigidity of implement mounting.
Suggestions to increase stability:
Increasing rear wheel track; a tractor with a wider wheel track is more stable.
Ballasting the wheel; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid can be added to
around 75% of the tyre volume – water with anti-freeze or the heavier Calcium Chloride
alternative can be used.
Addition of weights – care should be taken in selecting the location of the weights to
ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest advantage.
Front axle locking; a ram can be used to ‘lock’ the front axle in work only – locking the axle
moves the ‘balance line’ and can be used to transfer weight to the front axle from the rear
(check with tractor manufacturer).
The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to tractor strength - it is
therefore recommended that you consult your tractor manufacturer or local dealer to obtain specific
advise on this subject, additionally advice should be sought from a tyre specialist with regard to tyre
pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend to fit.

For balanced lifting RBM16 models are raised using slinging
point ‘A’ and RBM20 models using slinging points ‘A’ and ‘B’
– refer to illustrations;
DELIVERY & PRE-ATTACHMENT (Dealer Reference)
Delivery & Handling
The machine will be delivered in a partially dismantled condition secured with transport
straps and banding. Select a firm level site on which to place the machine before removing
the straps, banding and other loose items.
Handling of the machine should always be performed using suitable overhead lifting
equipment with a minimum safe lifting capacity over and above the maximum weight of the
machine. Always ensure the machine is balanced during the lifting procedure and that all
bystanders are kept well clear of the raised machine.
Stand Legs
Raise the machine and lower the stand legs;
secure them in position using the pins and
locking pins provided – refer to illustration
opposite (RBM16 model shown).
The hole position selected should be at a
height that places the gearbox stub axle
approximately 3” (75mm) below the height of
the tractor’s PTO shaft when the machine is
at rest on the ground. Note hole position
used and ensure the equivalent one is used
on both sides of the machine.

11
HYDRAULIC OIL
Hydraulic Oil Reservoir
Fill the tank with oil selected from the chart
below or a good quality equivalent to a point
where the level is between the minimum and
maximum marks on the tank gauge. When
the machine is initially run the level will drop
as the oil is drawn into the circuit - top back
up as required to the correct level on the
gauge.
Always use clean receptacles when handling
and transferring oil to avoid moisture or dirt
contamination that can damage components
and/or reduce machine performance.
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance section for further information on the subject of hydraulic
oil and system filtration.
Reservoir Capacity
The oil tank capacity of the machine is approximately 53 Gallons (U.S.)
Recommended Hydraulic Oils
For initial filling of the oil reservoir, periodic oil changes and replenishment purposes the
following hydraulic oils, or a good quality equivalent are recommended:
NOTE: Only use oils that are ISO 18/16/13, NAS7, or cleaner.

MACHINE ATTACHMENT
NOTE: Machine shown may differ in appearance to actual machine but procedures remains the same.
Attachment of the machine should always be performed on a firm level site.
CAUTION: During the attachment procedure bystanders must be kept at a safe distance
from the machine at all times. Never operate the tractors linkage system or machine
controls when persons are standing on, or working between, the tractor and machine.
PTO NOTE: Due to the close coupled design of the machine it is advisable to fit the PTO
shaft to the machines gearbox stub axle prior to attaching the machine to the tractor. On
initial installation the machine will need to be attached without the PTO fitted in order to
measure for the required shaft length – In some cases the machine will then need to be
removed from the tractor and subsequently refitted with the PTO pre-attached.
Attach stabiliser to machine frame at points ‘A’ -
selecting a mid-point position initially – secure
with nuts and bolts provided. Fit top link at
points ‘B’ and secure with pins & lock pins.
Fit lower link balls and spacers into lower frame
connection points and secure with linkage and
lock pins – place spacers to position lower link
balls for best alignment with tractor lower links.
Fit PTO shaft to the stub axle of the machines
gearbox. NOTE: for initial installation of a new
machine or attachment to a different tractor refer
to PTO note at top of page.
Adjust the drop arms so that lower links are level.

13
Reverse tractor squarely and centrally to the
machine - set tractor lower links to a height that
will permit attachment to lower frame attachment
points.
Reverse fully in to attachment points then raise
the tractor linkage until it locks onto the lower
link balls on both sides of the machine.

3
Adjust top link to position the stabiliser tongue
for attachment to the tractors top link clevis.
NOTE: Alternative tongues for stabilisers are
available for differing applications.
Attach stabiliser tongue to highest suitable clevis
position that does not interfere with or foul tractor
components - secure with pin and lock pin.
1

3
IMPORTANT: Rear of stabiliser tongue should be as close as possible to the bottom of the stabiliser
slot with the machine at rest on the ground – if required change the stabiliser lower attachment
points and/or clevis attachment position to achieve this setting. This is a vital requirement to ensure
the tongue is located at the slots mid-point when the machine is raised to the work position thus
allowing float in each direction.
