may cause serious injury to yourself or others. Please read these instructions completely. Cross-
Tech Manufacturing can not cover every incident that might be a hazard. Extreme caution should

Site Inspection
: Before operation of your Brush Wolf, carefully inspect the area to be cleared. Re-
move any items which may be picked up and thrown by the cutting blades; wire, pipes, or rocks.
Mark any object too large to move. This is an important step to help avoid damage to property, the
Brush Wolf brush cutter, your excavator/backhoe or personal injury. If an object is struck when op-
erating the Brush Wolf, immediately shut down power to both the attachment and the excavator/
backhoe. Any damage should be corrected and tested before continuation of cutting.
Equipment Inspection:
Prior to inspection, disconnect the unit from the excavator/backhoe. To
inspect or to make repairs under the Brush Wolf cutter deck always block the unit securely in order
to prevent accidental release of the lift mechanism. Inspect all hydraulic hoses and shields to en-
sure they are in good condition and without holes before pressurizing. Hydraulic fluid can escape
under pressure and may cause serious injury or death. Wear safety goggles, ear protection, hard
hat, and
only operate the excavator behind a shatter proof forestry rated door and cab.
Excavator / Backhoe Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow:
Check the specifications of the Brush Wolf
models rated GPM to correctly match the hydraulic flow of your excavator/backhoe to ensure
proper operation.
Do Not
operate near bystanders, vehicles, pets, livestock or buildings. Objects may discharge
while cutting with the Brush Wolf and has the potential to cause serious injury.
Do Not

inspect or perform maintenance under the deck, always shut down the power to the Brush Wolf,
shut-off the excavator/backhoe engine, disconnect hydraulic hoses, and block the unit securely.
