Page: 18 / 60

DANGER: Never operate the shredder without first ensuring that all protective
devices are properly installed. The shredder blades can throw objects 100 yards
or more which could result in personal or property damage.
Pick up all rocks and other debris before shredding. Enter new areas carefully.
Cut grass higher at first, allowing shredder to clear hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the tractor and shredder
quickly. On the flail shredders always disengage the PTO, lock parking brake,
stop engine and allow the shredder blades to come to a complete stop before
dismounting the tractor.
3.09 - Hydraulic Side Shift
D90 flail shredders can be offset to facilitate mowing closer to fences or under tree
limbs. A double action hydraulic cylinder allows the 60” unit to be offset up to 12” to the
right while the 72” and 88” units can be offset up to 16”. Two hydraulic remotes are
required on the tractor to side shift the shredder left and right.
WARNING: High pressure hydraulic oil leaks can penetrate skin resulting in
injury, gangrene or death. Be sure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between shredder and tractor hydraulic system.
Check for oil leaks using a cardboard, never use hands.
