Height Adjustment Safety Chain
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not operate cutter with skid shoes higher than 16 1/2"
off the ground. Always use height adjusting safety chain to
limit cutting height. Raising cutter too high will throw
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
For safety, the cutter’s rear skid shoes should not be
raised higher than 16 1/2" off the ground (18" maximum
cutting height).
1.
Raise cutter’s rear skid shoes slightly less than
16 1/2" off the ground. Secure the cutter with solid
(non-concrete) support blocks.
2. Shut skid steer down properly. See
3. Run height adjustment safety chain under the
skid steer hitch plate to the skid steer lower hitch
loop. Thread chain through the hitch loop and back
toward the hitch plate. Connect quick link coupler to a
chain loop as shown in
.
NOTE:
Two people may be required to install and
adjust the height adjustment safety chain.

4. Raise cutter up until the safety chain is tight. Check
height of rear skid shoes.
5. If rear skid shoes are more than 16 1/2" above
ground level, lower cutter and make necessary
adjustments to the safety chain to limit rear skid shoe
height to 16 1/2" maximum.
6. Tighten quick link coupler nut to secure safety chain.
NOTE:
When attaching the Skid Cutter to a Kubota
SVL machine, height adjustment safety chain (#2)
should be looped around SVL
tie-down bar (#1) and adjusted so that the cutter
cannot be raised over 16.5" off the ground as shown
in Figure 1-4 below.
