•

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

•

Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can

obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be

pinched by moving components, become entangled in

rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall

off and be run over, etc.

•

Allow only persons to operate this implement who have

fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been

properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and

who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result

from the inability to read, understand, and follow

instructions provided in this manual.

•

Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks,

and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting the

implement back into service.

•

Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where the

tractor and/or implement can rollover. Consult your

tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is

capable of traveling across. When traveling across steep

inclines, ensure the wing is folded down.

•

Do not raise the wing off the ground when traveling across

an incline. The weight of the wing will increase the risk of a

rollover.

•

Operate only power machines equipped with a certified

Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep

folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when

appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat

belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious

injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

•

Watch while making tight turns to ensure that the rear

tractor tires and lower 3-point arms do not make contact

with cutter hitch, driveline or deck. Keep lower 3-point

arms raised at all times when hitched to a pull-type cutter.

•

Wait for blades to come to a complete stop before accessing

blade bolts through blade bolt access hole.

•

Do not use implement as a man lift, work platform or as a

wagon to carry objects. It is not properly designed or

guarded for this use.

•

Do not use implement to lift objects; to pull objects such as

fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not

designed or guarded for these uses.

•

Do not use implement to tow other equipment. Doing so can

result in loss of control and damage the equipment.

•

Do not weld or torch on galvanized metal as it will release

toxic fumes.

•

Do not operate a cutter with a hitch or hitch pin that is

excessively worn, bent, broken, or has structural cracks.

The hitch and/or hitch pin can break apart separating cutter

from tractor.

•

Some tractors are equipped with two power take-off speeds.

Be certain your tractor’s power take-off is set-up to operate

at the implement’s rated power take-off speed or equipment

breakage may result. RC models are rated for 540 rpm and

RCM models are rated for 1000 rpm.

•

Some tractors are able to over speed their rated power

take-off speed of 540 rpm or 1000 rpm. Only operate at the

cutter’s designed speed of 540 rpm or 1000 rpm. Excessive

speed can damage drive components, cutter blades, and/or

increase the risk of thrown object hazard.

•

Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline

will break apart while rotating at high speeds and can cause

serious injury or death. Always remove the implement from

use until the damaged driveline can be repaired or replaced.

•

Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on brush, posts, tree limbs,

and other protrusions that could damage and/or break them.

•

Buildup of debris around moving components and

gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and

gearboxes free from debris to avoid serious injury and

property damage.

•

Improper oil level can cause bearing failure and be a fire

hazard. Maintain proper gearbox oil level to avoid serious

injury and property damage.

•

Do not exceed rated cutting capacity of your cutter. See

specifications & capacities for specified cutting capacity.

Exceeding rated cutting capacity can damage drive

components, cutter blades, and deck components.

Tractor Shutdown Procedure

The following are basic tractor shutdown procedures.

Follow these procedures and any additional shutdown

procedures provided in your tractor Operator’s Manual

before leaving the operator’s seat.
1. Reduce engine speed and disengage power take-off

if engaged.

2. Park tractor and implement on level, solid ground.
3. Lower implement to ground or onto solid,

non-concrete support blocks.

4. Put tractor in park or set park brake, turn off engine,

and remove ignition key to prevent unauthorized

starting.

5. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic

lines.

6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop

before leaving the operator’s seat.

Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when

stepping on and off the tractor.

IMPORTANT:

Maintain correct power take-off speed.

Loss of power take-off speed will allow blades to

swing back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

IMPORTANT:

Do not let the wings flex down more

than 20 degrees while operating the cutter. Doing so

can cause damage to the cutter.

IMPORTANT:

If wing driveline profile is bent or

twisted, disconnect that driveline from the wing

gearbox before folding the wing up. This will protect

both the wing and divider gearboxes. Repair

driveline before putting cutter back into service.
