REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
PART “A”
BLADE CARRIER REMOVAL
This operation should be performed by an authorized dealer or a qualified technician. The
blade carrier
weighs approximately 600 pounds. Should it unexpectedly shift during removal, it could result in
personal injury. An overhead hoist with the appropriate lifting capacity is recommended for this
operation.
1. Set the Brush Cutter flat on the ground. Turn the skid loader engine off to disconnect the hydraulic hoses
from the loader. Then, safely disconnect the Brush Cutter from the loader.
2. Attach the hoist to the two lifting points on the push bar.
3. Lift the front of the Brush Cutter, allowing it to lay back upside down, while blocking and bracing the rear
of the Brush Cutter to protect the motor cover and hydraulics.
4. Block the Brush Cutter to ensure that it is stable.
5. Attach the hoist to the blade carrier and apply very light tension. This is a safety precaution to be taken
before removing the cap screws.
6. Remove the (8) cap screws and (8) washers that secure the blade carrier to the drive flange, and lift the
blade carrier with the hoist.
PART “B”
BLADE CARRIER INSTALLATION
1. With the Brush Cutter laying upside down and blocked up for stability, attach a hoist to the blade
carrier and lift it into place. Align the holes on the blade carrier to the holes on the drive flange.
2. Reinstall the (8) cap screws and (8) washers, securing the blade carrier to the drive flange. A permanent
threadlocker should be applied to the cap screws before installation.
3. Attach the hoist to the lifting points on the push bar.
4. Lift with the hoist to set the Brush Cutter back on the ground in its normal position.
