OPERATION
ALAMO INDUSTRIAL DITCH AND BANK MOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Alamo Industrial Ditch and Bank Mowers are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The
EK II is designed to attach to a tractor and mow in pond embankments, weeds, and grass or other agricultural
applications that may apply. The boom and mower head is 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 EK II Mower and are not specific to a EKII Mower. Some
pictures may show shields removed to enhance visual clarity. NEVER operate the unit without all safety
equipment in place and in good operational condition. The operator must be familiar with the 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 EK II Mower.
