Skid Steer
Requirements
Your X-treme Brush Cutter should only
be used on a skid steer with a lift
capacity of at least 1500 lbs. and with a
weight of at least 6000# with the
bucket removed. A skid steer equipped
with tracks will provide superior
stability in this application.
The availability and capability of a
high-flow system on your skid steer
loader may determine which model
X-treme Brush Cutter will work best
for you.
To protect the operator from any flying
debris, it is important that the skid
steer should be equipped with a
thermoplastic polycarbonate
windshield or similar material, and
similar protection on the sides of the
operator’s cab.
Make sure your
skid steer is in good working
condition. Follow the operating
instructions found in the manual that
accompanied your skid steer. Failure
to do so could result in Minor or
Serious Injury.
Unpacking Your
Shipment
Your attachment arrives from the
factory banded to a wooden pallet,
and requires no final assembly before
use.
Careless
removal of the shipping bands that
secure the implement to the pallet
could result in Minor or Serious Injury.
Clear the area of all bystanders and
MTL Attachments
stand to the side when cutting the
bands with a pair of sheet metal
shears.
Using Your Implement
Connecting Cutter to
Skid Steer
Never enter the
area underneath the coupler or any
part of the attachment when it is in
the raised position to avoid an
accident that will result in Death or
Serious Injury.
Verify that the hydraulic hoses are
clear from the front of the attaching
plate on the attachment and that the
mounting plate is free from dirt and
debris. When clear, move the skid
steer to proximity of attachment plate.
Tilt skid steer coupler forward to align
coupling point with the upper part on
the attachment plate and raise the
coupler slightly.
Connecting Coupler to Attachment
When the top edge of the coupler is
seated in the top part of the coupler
plate, roll the skid steer tilt function
back until the attaching plate is flat
against the skid steer coupler. Lock
down the coupler levers. Note: If your
skid steer is equipped with a
hydraulically operated coupler,
activate the coupler lock at this time.
