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.
