’
s maintenance manual for fluid levels and information.
Q.
Are there any advantages to reversing cutter drum rotation?
A.
Whether or not reversing the cutter drum rotation is advantageous depends on the ap-
plication. There are two main advantages to reversing cutter drum rotation and those
are knife preservation and safety. As time goes on, knives wear down. If the cutter
drum rotation is reversed, the knives will be cutting with their other side. As far as safe-
ty, the owner has to take into account many things such as whether or not it
’
s safe to
have things thrown in the direction of the operator (not recommended). The most im-
portant thing is safety, and if the owner decides to reverse cutter drum rotation, it is their
responsibility to make sure that it is safe. However, RockHound Attachments recom-
mends running the cutter drum in the reverse rotation (opposite tire rotation) so that
shredded material is kept away from the operator.
Q.

tection valve to the hydraulic motor and switch them.

Q.
When connecting my hydraulic hoses, is there a specific way they should be attached
or can any hose go to any fitting on the operating vehicle?

You will notice that one hose has a female end and the other hose has a male end.
The female hose attaches to the male fitting on the operating vehicle and the male hose
attaches to the female fitting on the operating vehicle.
