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
