Operating Checklist

Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent 

upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper 

training involved in the operation, transport, 

maintenance, and storage of the Rotary Cutter. 

Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates 

the 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:

Important Safety Information

, page 1

Section 1: Assembly & Set-up,

 page 12

Section 3: Adjustments

, page 26

Section 4: Operating Procedures

page 29

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

, page 35

Perform the following inspections before using your 

Rotary Cutter.

Safety Information

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

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.

All guards and shields must be installed and in good 

working condition while operating the implement.

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

Read and follow all safety information and alerts 

carefully. See “Important Safety Information”.

 1

Make sure all guards and shields are in place. 

Refer to “Important Safety Information”.

1

Read and follow preparation instructions. Refer 

to "Section 1: Assembly & Set-up".

12

Read and make all required adjustments. 

Refer to "Section 3: Adjustments".

26

Read and follow all operating procedures. 

Refer to "Section 4: Operating Procedures".

29

Read and follow all maintenance instructions. 

Refer to "Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication".

35

Make sure there are no hydraulic leaks on the 

unit. See “Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard”.

3

Read and follow all lubrication instructions. 

Refer to "Lubrication Points".

42

Make sure all gearboxes are properly lubricated.

Refer to “Gearbox lubrication”.

43

Check cutter initially and periodically for loose 

bolts and pins. Refer to “Torque Values Chart”.

50

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.

Always disconnect driveline from power take-off shaft 

before servicing underside of cutter. The tractor can be 

started with power take-off engaged.

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

designed or guarded for this use.

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high 

speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety guards is 

mandatory with this cutter. Stop blade rotation if bystanders 

are in or around the area. It is recommended that a safety 

shield be placed between the operator and cutter on an open 

air tractor.

Be sure deck is lowered to the ground and all hydraulic 

pressure is relieved before disconnecting or reconnecting 

hydraulic line and/or fittings between Rotary Cutter and 

tractor hydraulic system.

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.

Always follow “Tractor Shutdown Procedure” provided in 

this manual before dismounting the tractor.

Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin 

and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves 

and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic 

systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than 

hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this 

type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or 

gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.

Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor 

and/or implement can rollover. Consult your tractor’s 

manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of 

traveling across.

Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel 

at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering 

and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with 

attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.

Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can 

obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be 

pinched by moving components, become entangled in 

rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall 

off and be run over, etc.
