ALAMO INDUSTRIAL RX96 MEDIUM-DUTY ROTARY MOWER
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Alamo Industrial RX96 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 2-1/2” diameter in
areas such as pastures, industrial areas, and roadsides. The mower is equipped with safety warning decals,
protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the mower by the blades,
however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, deflectors, and chains equipped on the unit must
be maintained on the mower 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
directly in front or to the rear 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

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.
