Operation (cont.)
•
Keep bystanders back 200 feet at all times. Do not operate near
buildings, traffic, pets or livestock.
•
Never allow riders on the V50 Rotary Brush Cutter-Standard Deck, even
when blades are not rotating.
•
Check that all bolts are tight and that no parts are damaged. Make sure
blades swing freely. Check blades for cracks or damage, replace as
needed. Blades should always be replaced in sets. Never try to
straighten or weld on blades.
•
Never cut material larger than 4
” diameter.
•
Before cutting an area, thoroughly check for obstructions such as pipes,
fence posts, wire/cable, rocks, etc. Remove obstructions if possible,
flag any obstructions too large to move.
•
Engage hydraulics at an idle, then bring loader to desired engine
operating rpm. The V50 Rotary Brush Cutter-Standard Deck should be
stopped before slowing engine rpm. It is equipped with dynamic
braking and an anti-cavitation valve. Quickly throttling down the loader
before disengaging the hydraulics has a greater potential to damage the
cutters hydraulic system than disengaging the hydraulics at operating
rpm.
•
If blade rotation does not match your preferred detent position, the
couplers can be switched on the hoses.
•
Use extreme care when cutting close to fences, ditches, large obstacles,
and on hillsides.
•
Do not operate on or drive across steep slopes.
•
Stop and inspect entire unit for damage after striking any foreign objects.
Replace or repair any damaged components before continuing.
•
Before dismounting, lower lift arms to stops, place cutter flat on the
ground, disengage hydraulics, stop engine, engage parking brake and
make sure all rotation has stopped.
•
Always relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic hoses.
•
Clean any debris from attachment. Pay special attention to any debris
in quick-tach area.
•
The V50 Rotary Brush Cutter-Standard Deck Standard Flow can rotate
in either direction, the operator must determine which direction the cutter
is spinning. When looking top down on the deck, the V50 Rotary Brush
Cutter-Standard Deck should spin in a counter clockwise direction. If,
during the initial use, the V50 Rotary Brush Cutter-Standard Deck does
not seem to have power, cuts poorly or easily stalls, the cutter is
probably rotating in the incorrect direction. Change the direction of the
cutter by reversing the direction of flow after bringing the unit to a
complete stop.
