ROTARY CUTTER OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Schulte FX-530 rotary cutters are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. These cutters are
designed to cut grass, weeds, crop stalks, brush and other vegetation up to 2” (51 mm) diameter. The cutter is
equipped with protective deflectors and/or chain guards to prevent objects being thrown from the cutter 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
