Operator Safety 
Training Tips 

It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  operator  
using  this  attachment  to  be  acquainted  
with the safe operation. In addition to 
reading this manual, it is important that 
the operator read the skid steer’s 
operation manual and follow its 
manufacturer’s recommendations! 

Before lifting or lowering the 

cutter,  make  sure  the  area  is  clear  of 
bystanders or objects. 
 

Machinery parts sometimes have 

sharp  edges.  Wear  work  gloves  when 
moving parts. Always use caution 
around  cutter  blades  as  they  often  are 
very sharp. 

 

Never use drugs or alcoholic 

drinks  when  operating  or  servicing  this 
piece of equipment. 

 

Always wear the proper personal 

protection  equipment when  servicing or 
operating this piece of equipment. Never 
service or operate this 
attachment  with  bare  feet,  sandals,  or 
other light footwear.

Always use eye protection during 

operation.  Mount  this  attachment  on  a 
skid  steer  equipped  with  thermoplastic 
polycarbonate door panel and side 
panels. 

Speed Kills! Operate this 

implement  at  a  safe  working  speed.  
When  transporting  the  implement,  
keep a safe speed to avoid losing 
control  of  the  attachment  or  prime 
mover. 

Keep  proper  clearance  between  

the  implement  and  objects  (utilities,  
tree stumps, large rocks, buildings, 
etc.). Contacting these objects with the 
implement or prime mover could cause 
a loss of control or damage to the 
implement or property. 

Before each operation of this 

implement, check all hardware (bolts, 
nuts, pins, etc.) for their proper 
location and tightness. 

Stop the engine on the skid steer  

and set the brake to avoid the  
implement rolling forward or  
backwards while you are exiting the  
prime mover. 

Store  this  implement  in  an  area 

not frequented by children. 

Allow no riders on this 

attachment.  Keep  all  bystanders  clear 
of attachment during operation. 

Always replace worn, torn or 

missing safety decals before operating. 

Never operate the cutter when 

bystanders are within 75 feet (23 m) of 
the work area.
