Weedoo Sickle Bar Mower Operation Section 3-5
MOWER OPERATION
When parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is not used or danger is
not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 60 feet of the machine when in operation.
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks
and debris. These conditions should be avoided.
The parts in this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, they could fail upon impact
with heavy solid objects – such as steel guard rails, concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a
very high velocity. Never allow cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such objects
and removing them prior to mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.
Once on location, lower the mower in front of the material to be cut, so the mower does not have to start under a
load. With the boat at an idle, engage mower. Bring mower up to two-third of maximum R.P.M. and slowly move
boat forward into the material. A sickle bar mower should be carried so that the mower weight is carried by the
boom when mowing. When the sickle bar mower is carried this way, the ground will not: cause damage to the
knives, cause damage to the boom, and possibly move the boat in an unexpected manner.
WARNING!
SICKLE BAR BOOM MOWER
The sickle bar boom mower was designed for cutting brush and foliage up to 2 inches in diameter or multiple
branches that have a total cross section area equivalent to one 2 inch branch.
During mower operation, the throttle must be used to set engine speed at two-thirds of maximum R.P.M. This
reduces the possibility of cutter assembly damage.
The horizontal positioning action of the boom is designed to position the cutting head and provide a limited
pressure relief when excessive pressure is applied to the boom. Do not force the cutting head into heavy
branches or stumps. Damage to the unit may result.
When using the mower for trimming small branches or thick grass, let the mower saw into
them. Do not lower the mower head down directly onto a bush. The mower blades are
designed to cut with the front, and misuse cause damage to the mower and a hazardous
situation for the operator
CAUTION!
