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 cutter unless 
they are age 16 or older and have read, fully understood, 
and are totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make 
sure the operator has paid particular attention to:

Safety Information

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Do not walk, stand, or allow anyone else in the area where 

a raised wing will fall unless the wing is securely locked in 
the raised position with its transport lock.

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high 

speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is 
mandatory with this cutter. Double row chain guards should 
be used when cutting along roadways and in areas where 
people may be present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are 
in or around the area.

Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and 

gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working 
condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles 
flying off of the driveline.

Operating Checklist

Check

Page

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

1

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

17

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

30

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

42

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

51

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

54

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

62

Always disconnect driveline from the tractor before 

servicing the drivetrain and components powered by the 
drivetrain. A person can become entangled in the drivetrain 
if the tractor is started and the power take-off is engaged.

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.

Do not raise wing with power take-off engaged or 

drivelines rotating. Objects can be thrown by rotating 
blades. Always keep people away from a cutter that is 
operating.

Do not use cutter as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly 

designed or guarded for this use.

Do not engage power take-off while hooking-up or 

unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near 
the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can become 
entangled in the driveline.

Never place hands or feet under the deck or attempt to make 

adjustments to the cutter with power take-off engaged. 
Cutter blades rotating at high speeds cannot be seen and are 
located close to the deck sides. Body extremities will be cut 
off instantly.

Keep everyone away from the cutter when folding or 

unfolding the wing or when raising or lowering the cutter. 
The cutter can pinch or crush a person when performing 
these operations.

This cutter is equipped with free-swinging cutting blades to 

reduce shock loads. However, it is best to avoid striking 
solid objects for your safety and to protect the cutter from 
damage.

Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen 

removable objects before cutting. Mark non-removable 
hazards such as tree stumps, post stubs, protruding objects, 
rocks, drop-offs, holes, etc. with a visible flag.

Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will 

increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing 
possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat 
the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Allow only persons to operate this implement who have 

fully read and comprehended this manual, who have been 
properly trained in the safe operation of this implement, and 
who are age 16 or older. Serious injury or death can result 
from the inability to read, understand, and follow 
instructions provided in this manual.

Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor 

and/or implement can roll over. Consult your tractor’s 
manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of 
traveling across.
