DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not operate cutter with skid shoes higher than 16 1/2"
off the ground. Always use height adjusting safety chain to
limit cutting height. Raising cutter too high will throw
•
Do not tilt hitch plate to raise front of cutter higher than the
rear. Raising front of cutter can cause serious bodily injury
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
Refer to Figure 2-2:
For safety, the cutter rear skid shoes should not be raised
higher than 16 1/2" off the ground (18" Maximum cutting
height).
1. Raise cutter’s rear skid shoes slightly less than
16 1/2" off the ground.
2. Run height adjustment safety chain from under the
2" x 3" hitch tube to the skid steer lower hitch loop.
Thread chain through the hitch loop and back
towards the hitch plate. Connect quick link coupler to
a chain loop as shown.
NOTE:
Two people may be required to install and
adjust the safety chain.

3. Raise cutter up until the safety chain is tight. Check
height of rear skid shoes.
4. If rear skid shoes are higher than 16 1/2" above
ground level, lower cutter and make necessary
adjustments to the safety chain to limit rear skid shoe
height to 16 1/2" maximum.
5. Tighten quick link coupler nut to secure safety chain.
NOTE:
When attaching the Rotary Cutter to a
Kubota CTL or SSL machine, height adjustment
safety chain (#2) should be looped around SVL
tie-down bar (#1) and adjusted so that the cutter
cannot be raised over 16.5" off the ground as shown
in Figure 2-3 below.
