3 Battle Ax Light - Skid Loader OM
Owner Information
Thank you for your decision to purchase a Battle Ax
Light skid loader-mounted shredder from Loftness. To
ensure maximum performance of your machine, it is
mandatory that you thoroughly study the owner’s manual
and follow its recommendations. Proper operation and
maintenance are essential to prevent injury or damage
and to maximize machine life.
The Loftness Battle Ax Light is an effective, reliable
machine used for maintaining grass, weeds, brush and
trees. Efficiently cuts and mulches up to 6" diameter
material. Intermittently cuts larger diameter material.
Lifting or tilting the Battle Ax Light increases the risk of
flying debris. Because of the high speed of the teeth, the
life of the teeth will be reduced if it is operated in rocky
terrain or in areas where many obstacles are present.
Areas to be mowed should be free of debris such as
rocks, bottles, etc. The teeth cut and pulverize the grass,
weeds, and brush. The Battle Ax Light deposits cut
material over the entire width-of-cut, which eliminates
bunching or windrowing behind the machine.
Operate and maintain this machine in a safe manner and
in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal
codes, regulations and/or laws, and in compliance with
on-product labeling and these instructions.
Make sure that all personnel have read this owner’s
manual and thoroughly understand safe and correct
operating, installation and maintenance procedures.
