Field Set-up
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen removable
objects before cutting. Mark non-removable hazards such as
tree stumps, post stubs, protruding objects, rocks, drop-offs,
holes, etc. with a visible flag.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
The following operational procedures should be carried out
by the tractor operator. Other persons should not be in the
area. All cutter operations including field set-up should be
stopped when other persons are in the vicinity.
Field Inspections
Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and
unforeseen objects. Remove all potential hazards and
mark any that cannot be removed.
IMPORTANT:
Cutting should
not be
done in wet
conditions. Wet material will build up on the deck
underside creating need for additional horsepower,
high wear, and poor discharge.

Cutting blades may become locked
together (overlapped) when the wings are raised for
transport. Operating cutter in this condition will result
in severe deck vibration. Inspect wings for locked
blades prior to power-on operation.
When cutting, the wing folding lever
should be in float position to avoid damage to the
