Section 3: Operating Instructions

Startup Checklist

Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent 
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper 
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and 
maintenance of the Rotary Cutter. Therefore, it is 
absolutely essential that no one operates the cutter 
without first having read, fully understood, and become 
totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the 
operator has paid particular attention to:

Safety Information

!

DANGER

Operate only tractors equipped with Roll-Over Protective 
Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Fasten seat belt snugly and 
securely to help protect operator from being thrown, crushed, 
or severely injured in a rollover or from falling off the tractor 
and being ran over by the tractor and/or cutter.

!

DANGER

Never allow riders including children on the tractor or cutter. 
They can fall and be ran over, become entangled in rotating 
components, and/or pinched by moving components causing 
serious injury or death.

!

DANGER

Do not operate cutter with a bent or broken driveline. Such a 
driveline can break apart while rotating at high speeds 
causing serious injury or death. Always remove Rotary Cutter 
from service until damaged driveline is repaired or replaced.

Operating Checklist

Check

Page

Make sure all guards, and shields are in place and in 
good working condition. Refer to "Important Safety 
Information".

Page 1

Follow hook-up and driveline installation instructions. 
Refer to "Section 1: Assembly & Set-up".

Page 14

Make all required adjustments. 
Refer to "Section 2: Adjustments".

Page 20

Preform all required maintenance. 
Refer to "Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication".

Page 32

Lubricate cutter and driveline as needed. 
Refer to "Lubrication Points".

Page 40

Lubricate all gearboxes and replace oil plugs 
properly. Refer to Gearbox lubrication.

Page 42

Check cutter initially and periodically for loose bolts 
and pins. Refer to “Torque Values Chart”.

Page 50

!

DANGER

Tractor PTO shield, gearbox shaft shield and driveline shields 
must be secured in place when operating cutter to avoid injury 
or death from entanglement in driveline.

!

DANGER

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before 
servicing underside of cutter. PTO can be engaged if tractor is 
started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

!

DANGER

Do not operate cutter with one or both wings folded up. This 
can cause the driveline to break apart and throw objects at the 
operator or a bystander causing serious injury or death.

!

DANGER

Do not use cutting blades as a fan. Cutting blades are not 
properly designed or guarded for this use. Using cutter as a 
fan can result in injury and/or death.

!

DANGER

Keep others away from the cutter while it is operating. Rotary 
Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds 
causing serious injury or death. The use of front & rear safety 
guards is strongly recommended and should always be used 
when cutting along highways and in areas where bystanders 
are present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are nearby.

!

DANGER

Do not operate cutter without both wings attached. Removing 
one wing will expose blades and increase risk of rollover. 
Removing both wings will expose blades on both sides. 
Exposed blades can result in serious injury and/or death.

!

DANGER

Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking 
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A 
person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the 
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.

!

DANGER

Never place hands or feet under the deck or attempt to make 
adjustments to the cutter with PTO engaged. Cutter blades 
rotating at high speeds cannot be seen and are located close 
to the deck housing. Body extremities can be cut off instantly.

!

DANGER

Do not operate on or travel across steep inclines where a 
tractor or cutter could roll-over resulting in serious injury or 
death. Consult your tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines 
the tractor is capable of traveling across.
