Operator Safety 
Training Tips

 

It is the responsibility of the operator using 
this attachment to be acquainted with the 
safe operation. In addition to reading this 
manual, it is important that the operator 
read the skid steer's operation manual and 
follow its manufacturer's 
recommendations!

 

Before raising, lowering or swinging 

the cutter, make sure area is clear of 
bystanders or objects.

 

Machinery parts sometimes have 

sharp edges. Wear work gloves when 
moving parts. Always use caution around 
cutter blades as they often are very sharp.

 

&  

 

  .   Never use drugs or alcoholic 

 

drinks when operating or servicing this 
piece of equipment.

 

Always wear the proper personal 

protection equipment when servicing or 
operating this piece of equipment. Never 
service or operate this attachment with 
bare feet, sandals, or other light footwear.

 

Always  use  eye  protection  during 

operation. Mount this attachment on a skid 
steer equipped with thermoplastic

 

polycarbonate door panel and side 
panels.

 

Speed Kills! Operate this 

implement at a safe working speed. 
When transporting the implement, 
keep a safe speed to avoid losing 
control of the attachment or prime 
mover.

 

Keep proper clearance between 

the implement and objects (tree stumps, 
large rocks, buildings, etc.). Contacting 
these objects with the implement or prime 
mover could cause a loss of control or 
damage to the implement.

 

Before each operation of this 

implement, check all hardware (bolts, 
nuts, pins, cotter pins, etc.) for their 
proper location and tightness.

 

Stop the engine on the skid steer 

and set the brake to avoid the implement 
rolling forward or backwards while you 
are exiting the prime mover.

 

Store this implement in an area 

not frequented by children.

 

Allow no riders on this attachment. 

Keep all bystanders clear of attachment 
during operation.

 

Always replace worn, torn or 

missing safety decals before operating.

 

Never operate the cutter when 

bystanders are within 300 feet of the 
work area.

 

Use caution when performing 

service work on or near the machine's
