WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward
tipping or side tipping caused by a heavy front load. Consult
your power machine Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
•
Do not operate any hammer or mulching equipment on an
open cab machine or on a machine with a tempered front
glass window/door. We strongly recommend use of a
polycarbonate front glass door/window when operating any
Dealer Preparations
Read and understand the operator’s manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
This Rotary Cutter has been partially assembled at the
factory. However, some assembly will be necessary.
It is best to go through the
this page before assembling the cutter. Speed up your
assembly task and make the job safer by having all the
needed parts and equipment readily at hand.
Ensure that the intended skid steer conforms to the
requirements stated under the heading
Skid Steer Shutdown Procedures
The following are basic skid steer shutdown procedures.
Follow these procedures and any additional shutdown
procedures provided in your skid steer Operator’s
Manual before leaving the operator’s seat.
1. Reduce engine speed and shut-off all power to the
attachment.
2. Park on solid, level ground and lower attachment
until it is flat on the ground or on non-concrete
support blocks.
3. Turn off engine, and remove switch key to prevent
unauthorized starting.
IMPORTANT:
Skid Steer must be equipped with a
case drain system.
4. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic
lines.
5. If included, raise seat bar and move controls until
both lock.
6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop
before leaving the operator’s seat.
7.
Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when
stepping on and off the skid steer or attachment.
Uncrating
WARNING
!

Always secure cutter with an overhead crane, fork lift, or
other suitable lifting device before removing hardware bags,
shipping components, bands, lag screws, or hitch pins. The
1. Secure deck with an overhead crane, fork lift, or other
suitable means before cutting shipping support
bands and unbolting cutter from shipping crate.
2. Cut bands securing parts bags to the shipping crate.

6. Remove wood from under the front chain guard.
Torque Requirements
See
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 40 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
at bottom of chart for
exceptions to standard torque values.
Pre-Assembly Checklist
Check
All hardware from the factory has been installed. If a part or
fastener is temporarily removed for assembly, remember where
it goes. Keep parts separated.
Be sure the parts get used in the correct location. By double
checking while you assemble, you will lessen the chance of
using a bolt incorrectly that may be needed later. Use Parts
Manual to identify location of parts you are unsure of where
they are used.
All grease fittings are in place and lubricated.
Miscellaneous assembly tools: hammer, tape measure,
assortment of wrenches and spirit level.
Have fork lift or loader along with chains and safety stands
sized for the job ready for the assembly task.
Auxiliary weights (depending on skid steer
size).
Have a minimum of 2 people at hand while assembling.
Safety decals are legible and undamaged.
Loose parts bag/box shipped with the Rotary Cutter.
