6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING OPERATION
1. Raise the back of the unit off the ground approx. 100mm to allow the material to clear from under the cutter deck as you travel forward.
2. Place the front skid shoe 25mm-50mm off the ground. This is the preferred position for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.
CUTTING LARGE BRUSH
1. When cutting large brush, tilt the front of the Slasher up 300-600mm (1-2ft.).
2. Slowly drive into the bush and use the tilt function of the loader to bend/push the brush over. As the brush bends the blades will cut it off.
3. The brush can now be mulched by driving the loader forward several feet and then reversing back, hence mulching any brush which may not
have been mulched on the forward movement.
4. Repeat if necessary.
3. Confirm the bystanders are at least a minimum safe distance of 15m (50ft) from the equipment.
4. Start Engine.
5. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulic valve to power the Slasher is disengaged and that the engine is at idle.
6. Engage the auxiliary hydraulic valve. Increased the engine speed to the desired speed.
7. Proceed to commence slashing and comply with all safety procedures.
