With the boom
swung at
90°,
make sure you are aware
of any obstacles directly in front of the
skid steer or in front of boom, when
moving the skid steer.
Use care when
operating
on
uneven terrain or any type
of sloped surface. Keep your cutter low
to
the ground when working in these
conditions
to
avoid a roll over that
could result in Minor or Serious Injury.
Determine a safe cutting pattern before
swinging the boom and cutter. Stop the
forward progress of the skid steer loader
until the boom is swung to the desired
position until you are fully familiar with the
movement of the attachment.
Before Cutting
Inspect the area to be cut and make sure
it is free of any utilities, rocks, fence
posts, or any other objects that you do
not want to cut or that would damage the
cutter.
Do not enter into an area to be cut
before the cutter rotation come up to the
operating speed.
Cutting Tips
Never operate
this attachment when bystanders are in
proximity of the work area that could
result in Minor or Serious Injury from
flying debris.
1. Always inspect work area before
starting the cutter. Locate and mark
any utilities, steel posts, rocks or any
other objects that could be damaged
or would damage the cutter during
operation. Never assume the work
area is safe and never skip the
inspection part before start of
operation.
2. Operate at a safe slow-paced speed
that will allow you to watch the area
ahead of the skid steer and also
ahead of the boom and cutter when
the cutter is swung away from the
straight-ahead position.
3. Make sure you are operating the skid
steer's engine at an rpm that will
produce the volume of oil flow
required for this attachment.
4. If the cutter speed slows down,
reduced your travel speed and
allow cutter to reach the proper
rotating speed. Mowing too fast
in thick material could result in balling
of material underneath the cutter
deck resulting in a loss of cutting
efficiency.
5. Never use your cutter to push, pull,
lift or move any type of object or
vehicle. Do not use this attachment to
"push" down trees.
6. Always allow cutter to come up to
operating speed before moving
attachment into the material you want
to cut.
7. If material constantly is balling
underneath cutter deck, try tilting the
leading edge of the cutter to be about
1" lower than the rear of
