ALAMO INDUSTRIAL MACHETE BOOM MOWER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Alamo Industrial MACHETE Booms are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The MACHETE
Boom is designed to attach to a tractor and operate various heads for a wide range of vegetative maintenance
applications. The boom and heads are equipped with safety warning decals, protective deflectors, shields, and
other safety features to provide operator and passerby protection, however, no shielding is 100% accurate.
ALL safety equipment and safety warning decals must be maintained on the unit in good operational condition
at all times.
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
boom unit, tractor or a thrown object. Do not operate the boom and attached head if bystanders, passersby,
pets or livestock are within 300 feet of the unit.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate operators to the safe and
proper use of the boom and attached head. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a
visual aid to assist in explaining the operation of a MACHETE Boom and are not specific to a MACHETE
Boom. Some pictures may show shields removed to enhance visual clarity. NEVER operate the boom unit
without all safety equipment in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the
boom unit and tractor operation and all safety practices before beginning operation. Proper operation, as
detailed in this manual, will help ensure years of safe and satisfactory use of the MACHETE Boom.
