10. When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise
the rotary cutter (2-4”) before turning. Never raise
the rotary cutter entirely while the blades are
turning. If the rotary cutter must be raised higher
than 12” from ground level, disengage the tractor
PTO and wait for all blade rotation to come to a
complete stop before proceeding to raise the rotary
cutter.
11. When turning, the angle between the tractor and
rotary cutter must not exceed 80°. This extreme
angle is intended for intermittent use only. Plan
your cutting to minimize extreme turning angles.
Sharp turns can cause premature failure of the
joints and put pressure on the tractor PTO shaft,
and could cause extensive mechanical damage to
the rotary cutter and tractor.
12. Large, dense, or wet vegetation may need to be
cut in two or more passes to achieve a uniform cut.
In such conditions, raise the cutting height to 12” or
more on the first pass. Then lower the rotary cutter
to the desired height and mow the vegetation a
second time. If possible, select a cutting direction
that is at a 90 degree angle to the first pass to
reduce streaking for a more uniform cut.
13. Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles while
operating. Use care to avoid hitting these items.
14. Avoid cutting in reverse. Instead, disengage the
PTO, wait for the blades to stop, and raise the
deck. Back up into the area to be cut. Lower the
deck, engage the PTO, and cut forward. Do not
back the rotary cutter into solid objects. The joint
where the hitch attaches to the deck will pivot
upward, allowing the front edge of the deck to
contact the driveline. Check to make sure there
are no persons behind the rotary cutter, and use
extreme care when maneuvering in reverse.
15. Always cross steep ditches and banks at a
diagonal. Never cross straight across and never
back into a steep ditch or bank. Cutting over
ditches and backing up hills can “Bottom Out” the
driveline. Bottoming out is when the driveline shaft
has shortened to the point it is pressing against the
gearbox and tractor PTO shafts. Once a driveline
has bottomed out, it cannot be shortened anymore
without causing serious damage to the tractor PTO
components, cutter gearbox, and driveline.
16. Do not operate a pull-type cutter at an angle
exceeding 25 degrees up or down or at any angle
that will force the driveline to bind and/or hit the
tractor drawbar.
17. Whenever using a rotary cutter in dry grass, be
aware that a thrown metal object can create a
spark against the blade or metal deck housing.
Take extra precautions in this type of dry situation
to prevent fires.
6.9 Chain Shielding
Titan Implement installs full chain shielding as standard
equipment on all flex-wing rotary cutters.
WARNING
Projectile
Hazard
The chain shielding is designed to reduce the
risk of thrown objects.
The rotary cutter deck and protective devices cannot
prevent all objects from escaping the blade
enclosure in every mowing condition. It is possible
for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as
much as 300 feet.
Death or serious injury can result from being struck
by a thrown object. Do not operate the cutter if the
chain shielding is missing or damaged.
1. Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.
2. If the chain shielding is missing or damaged,
operation must be stopped until it can be repaired
or replaced.
3. Inspect chain shielding each day of operation
and replace any broken or missing chains, as
required.
