Safety When Working Under TreeSaw

Never work under the Tree Saw until:

• The Tree Saw is sufficiently braced and supported

• The Skid steer engine is off, brake is set, and key is removed

• Tracks have been secured with chocks

• The Tree Saw has cooled

Danger!

  Failure to follow these safety guidelines will result in serious injury or death.

Initial Maintenance

Warning!

  These maintenance practices must be followed every hour for the first eight hours of 

operation; the practices must also be performed every hour for the first eight hours following the 

removal/replacement of any of the components named in this section.  Check daily thereafter.

1. Check for debris deposited between the blade and the deck.  Debris found jamming or locking the 

blade must be removed.

2.  Check torque on carbide tip bolts (should be 25 ft/lbs min.) and check for any play in the blade/

bearing block.

Warning! 

 Failure to tighten blade tip bolts and blade bar nut can cause blade tips, blade tip bolts, 

blade, or output shaft to break, which can result in injury or death.

3.  Check for debris deposited around the output shaft.

4.  Tighten bearing block mounting bolts.

Caution!

  Failure to keep the bearing block bolts tightened can cause the blade to strike the bottom 

of the Tree Saw or break the output shaft of the bearing block.

Daily Maintenance

1.  Repeat all steps listed under the “Initial Maintenance” section on a daily basis after the initial 

maintenance has been performed.

2.  Check and maintain the proper amount of lubricant in the bearing block.  

The recommended 

lubricant  for the bearing block is Mobiltemp SHC 32 Grease.

3.  Check the blade and blade tips; replace blade tips as necessary.

Warning!

  Use only blades and blade tips supplied by Brown Manufacturing Corporation. Failure 

to do so will void all warranty and can cause injury or death.  Only Brown has access to the engineering 

and test data  necessary to produce a high-quality blade that meets all safety and quality requirements.
