Swinging Cutter
keep all persons and objects away from this attachment while it is operating.
Your Articulating Brush Cutter has the capability of rotating 90
°
to the right of the
skid steers mounting point, or stopping anywhere between 0
°
and 90
°
.
Before swinging the boom to the right or back to center make sure there are no
objects in the way that could hinder the movement of the boom swing.
To rotate the cutter boom, push the joystick right or left for the boom swing function.
To tilt the cutter, move back to adjust the deck.
With the boom swung at 90
°
, make sure you are aware of any obstacles directly in
front of the skid steer or in front of boom, when moving the skid steer.
Use care when operating on uneven terrain or any type of sloped surface. Keep your
cutter low to the ground when working in these conditions to avoid a roll over that could
result in Minor or Serious Injury.
Determine a safe cutting pattern before swinging the boom and cutter. Stop the
forward progress of the skid steer loader until the boom is swung to the desired position
until you are fully familiar with the movement of the attachment.
Before Cutting
Inspect the area to be cut and make sure it is free of any utilities, rocks, fence posts, or
any other objects that you do not want to cut or that would damage the cutter.
Do not enter into an area to be cut before the cutter rotation come up to the operating
speed.
Cutting Tips
Never operate this attachment when bystanders are in proximity of the work area that
could result in Minor or Serious Injury from flying debris.
1. Always inspect work area before starting the cutter. Locate and mark any utilities,
steel posts, rocks or any other objects that could be damaged or would damage the
cutter during operation. Never assume the work area is safe and never skip the
inspection part before start of operation.
2. Operate at a safe slow-paced speed that will allow you to watch the area ahead of
the skid steer and also ahead of the boom and cutter when the cutter is swung away
from the straight-ahead position.
3. Make sure you are operating the skid steer's engine at an rpm that will produce
the volume of oil flow required for this attachment.
4. If the cutter speed slows down, reduced your travel speed and allow cutter to
reach the proper rotating speed. Mowing too fast in thick material could result in balling
of material underneath the cutter deck resulting in a loss of cutting efficiency.
5. Never use your cutter to push, pull, lift or move any type of object or vehicle. Do
not use this attachment to "push" down trees.
