ION
For cutting brush, it is usually best to stop the tractor and swivel the boom and mower into foilage. The
horizontal positioning action of the boom is designed to position the cutting head and provide a limited
pressure relief when excessive pressure is applied to the boom.
DO NOT
use excessive force when positioning cutting head into heavy branches or stumps.
Damage to the unit may result. It is best to let the cutter head “eat away” slowly at heavy cutting
jobs.
If foliage falls on top of mower deck causing tractor to become unstable, move the boom
“Forward” and “Out” to relieve tipping of the tractor. Lower mower deck to ground and shut
down unit. After all motion stops, remove foliage from mower deck.
The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power if the knives are kept sharp.
If the mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for wire wrapped in the spindle or damaged knives.
When replacing knives, replace all knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not
vibrate. Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used.
Begin a pass at the top side of the trees and work down with each consecutive pass. When cutting trees and
shrubs, use a lower speed to allow the knives time to cut as well as mulch the foliage.
If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation turn mower switch “OFF”
immediately! After shutdown, never leave the tractor or allow bystanders to approach within
300
FEET
of the unit until all motion stops completely.
If cutter shaft jams and stops, turn mower switch to “OFF”, and swivel boom “AFT”. Normally this action will
clear the cutter head. If not, roll mower deck until adjacent to the secondary boom, then lower boom to rest
mower deck on ground. Shut off the tractor, set parking break, allow all motion to cease. At that point it is safe
to leave the tractor and clear the cutter heads manually.
Begin each pass at the top side of the trees and work down with each consecutive pass. Use a low speed to
allow the cutting blades time to mulch as well as cut the foliage. When the initial pass has been made,
disengage the mower, and return boom to a safe travel position. Return to starting point and make next pass,
etc..
After the first day of operation, all bolts should be checked and tightened securely. This should be done
periodically to ensure the bolts do not become loose and cause damage to the tractor or mower, or injury to the
operator.
