Skid Steer
Requirements
The swing boom cutter should only be
used on 70+ HP skid steers with a lift
capacity of at least 1800 lbs. and with a
weight of at least 6500# with the
bucket removed. A skid steer equipped
with tracks will provide superior
stability in this application.
You will install the electrical joystick
that accompanies this attachment or
your skid steer must be equipped with
an auxiliary electrical option with an
electrical connector mounted on the
machine’s loader lift arm from the skid
steer manufacturer. In order to
complete the connection, the mating
connector on the loader arm needs to
match the connector from the
attachment. Refer to the electrical
drawing on page 19 of this manual.
A 12 V power
source coming directly from the
battery or from some other circuit
that is energized all the time could
result in Death or Serious Injury if the
attachment control switch is
accidentally bumped when the
operator is entering or exiting the skid
steer with the engine running.
California
Proposition 65 Warning! Battery
posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
components, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
Always refer to
the polarity symbols printed on the
top of the battery. Refer to the
markings on the battery to determine
the location of the negative (-) cable.
If the battery cables are to be
removed from the battery, always
remove the negative cable first and
reinstall the negative cable last.
DO NOT smoke
around a battery, or use anything that
produces an open flame or spark to
avoid an explosion that could result in
Death or Serious Injury.
The 12V power source for this
attachment should be connected into
the skid steer’s Operator Presence
System that cuts the electrical power
to the attachment shift valves if the
operator safety restraint bar is raised
or the seat switch is disengaged when
the operator raises from the seat.
Consult with your local skid steer
dealer for assistance.
When using the provided joystick,
route the electrical harness up to the
pivot point of the loader arm and tie it
with plastic cable ties to the inside of
the loader arm to prevent snagging the
harness with branches. After installing
harness, check that the harness is free
from any tension when raising and
lowering the loader arm through its
complete cycle.
Route harness to back of loader pivot and
on the inside of loader arm
To protect the operator from any flying
debris, it is important that the skid
steer is equipped with a thermoplastic
polycarbonate windshield or similar
