ABOUT THE BRUSH CUTTER ATTACHMENT
The brush cutter attachment is intended for use as a brush cutting and clearing tool. The primary use of the brush
cutter attachment includes land clearing, landscaping, and grounds maintenance. Use of this equipment in any
other manner is contrary to the intended use of the attachment.
Attaching the Brush Cutter to the Carrier Machine
NOTE:
Before attempting to attach the brush cutter to the carrier machine, verify that all hydraulic couplings are
compatible.
WARNING:
Improper attachment to the carrier machine may cause personal injury.
CAUTION:
All hydraulic connections must be clean and free of debris before making any connection.
1.
Place the brush cutter attachment on a level surface.
2.
Position and align the carrier machine to the rear of the attachment, within proximity of the front of carrier
machine.
3.
Insert and connect the carrier machine into the attachment.
4.
Connect the hydraulic lines from the attachment to the carrier machine.
5.
Close latches (or other locking mechanisms) to secure the attachment to the carrier machine.
6.
Using the carrier machine, raise the attachment and move the attachment to ensure hydraulic lines are clear
of air and operate properly.
CAUTION:
Hydraulics should operate in an even and smooth manner. Hydraulic movement that is not even
and smooth may indicate that air is in the hydraulic lines.
7.
Lower the attachment to ground level.
8.
Inspect that the attachment is mounted properly and securely. If the attachment does not meet this
requirement, follow the instructions to remove the brush cutter and re-attach using the instructions above.
Removing the Brush Cutter from the Carrier Machine
WARNING:
Improper disconnection may result personal injury or damage to the attachment and carrier machine.
CAUTION:
All hydraulic connections must be clean and free of debris before disconnection.
1.
Using the carrier machine, lower the attachment to the ground.
2.
To prevent contamination, remove any dirt and debris from the couplings. Disconnect the hydraulic
connection between the attachment and the carrier machine.
NOTE:
Hydraulic connections must be disconnected before disengaging latches to prevent damage to the carrier
machine or the attachment.
3.
Disengage the carrier machine latches (or other locking mechanisms) from the attachment.
4.
Move the carrier machine from the attachment.
