INSTALLATION & SET-UP 

Using Your Implement Connecting Cutter to Skid Steer 

Verify that the hydraulic hoses and the wire harness 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. 

Wipe off any dirt or dust from the male or female hydraulic flat-face couplers with a 

clean  rag  before  attaching  hoses,  to  keep  contaminants  from  entering  the  hydraulic 
system. 

Connect  the  cutter  hydraulic  hoses  to  the  auxiliary  circuit  connectors  on  the  skid 

steer. Connect the electrical harness to the appropriate connector on the skid steer. 

Check the surrounding area for bystanders and clear them before starting the skid 

steer or attachment. 

Before operating the attachment, always visually inspect and verify that the coupler 

lock pins are fully engaged through the latch slots on the attachment plate. 

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. 

 

 

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

   

Cutter Boom Controls 

The joystick control can be easily attached to the leg of the operator using the Velcro 

straps provided. 

Always turn the engine "off and remove the joystick controller from your leg before 

exiting  the  skid  steer  cab  to  avoid  unwanted  machine  or  attachment  movement  that 
could cause Death or Serious Injury. 

In order to swing or tilt the cutter head, the auxiliary hydraulics to the cutter drive 

must be turned on. 

During operation you may notice that the cutter speed slows down a little while you 

are activating the swing or cutter deck tilt. When you have completed swinging the boom 
or tilting the cutter deck, the cutter will resume to its normal rotation speed.
