Section 3: Operating Procedures
CAUTION
!
Cutter deck can be slippery especially when wet. Always step
on grip pads when possible. Never hurry. Make sure you have
secure footing and hand hold when walking on the deck.
CAUTION
!
Do not over angle hitch plate forward. Over angling can cause
damage to deck, hitch and gauge wheel.
The Rotary Cutter should be operated with gauge wheel
on the ground, slack in float chain, and deck rear slightly
higher off the ground than deck front. As the operator
travels over uneven terrain, the Skid Steer hitch plate tilt
angle and lift arm height may need some readjusting to
maintain correct deck positioning.
Transporting
WARNING
!
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV
sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn
operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply
with all federal, state, and local laws.
1. Be sure to reduce ground speed when turning; and,
leave enough clearance so the Rotary Cutter does
not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or
fences.
2. Select a safe ground travel speed that is 20 mph or
less when transporting from one area to another.
When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
3. Decrease transport speed when traveling over rough
or hilly terrain.
4. When transporting Skid Steer and Rotary Cutter on a
trailer:
•
Use towing vehicle and trailer of adequate
capacity.
•
Always drive up a ramp with heavy end uphill.
•
Engage Skid Steer park brake and remove ignition
switch key once it is loaded.
•
Secure Skid Steer loader and attachment using
tie-downs and chains.
Cutting Instructions
IMPORTANT:
Shut off all power, disengage auxiliary
hydraulics, set park brake and remove ignition key
any time the Rotary Cutter is not operating properly
or needs adjustment.
IMPORTANT: Avoid catching hydraulic hoses on
brush, post, stumps, and other protrusions that
could damage and/or break them.
1. Thoroughly inspect the area to be cut for debris and
unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.
2. Set Skid Steer hydraulic lift arms and hitch angle to
position the deck front at the preferred cutting height
and the deck rear slightly higher.
3. If included, adjust gauge wheel to support deck front
at the preferred height, and tilt hitch plate to put slack
in the float chains.
4. Start the machine and engage hydraulic motor. Allow
several seconds for cutter blades to become aligned
properly. If deck continues to vibrate after several
seconds, stop motor and inspect blades.
5. It is important to maintain correct hydraulic motor
speed. Loss of motor speed will allow the blades to
hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.
6. Ground speed depends on two things: the density of
material being cut and size of Skid Steer. Never run
fast enough to overload the Skid Steer or cutter.
7. This cutter was designed to cut grass and medium
brush cutting on gently sloping or slightly contoured
right-of-ways, pastures, set aside acres, and row
crop fields.
