WARNING
Engage parking brake, disengage power to cutter, shut off Skid
Steer, remove key and ensure that all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before dismounting from Skid Steer.
IMPORTANT: The blades should be positioned to
cut material only at the front of the cutter. If deck is
level or back of cutter is lower than the front, then the
blades are subject to continuous material flow
resulting in cutting clumps at the discharge chute,
horsepower loss, high blade wear, and frequent
blade sharpening.
NOTE: Nominal Cutting Height is the distance
from bottom of cutter blade to ground level at the
front of the cutter. Subtract 1 1/2" from Nominal
Cutting Height to determine distance (A). Distance
(A) is measured from bottom of front skid shoes to
ground level.
1.
Park Skid Steer with cutter on a level surface.
2.
Use Skid Steer hydraulics to lower Skid Steer lift
arms and to tilt cutter hitch plate angle until bottom of
skid shoe at the front deck corner is dimension (A) off
the ground and the rear deck corner is slightly higher
than the front deck corner.
The Rotary Cutter should be operated with float chain
tight to hold front of cutter at the correct cutting height
and lift arms set to hold rear of cutter slightly higher off
the ground than the front.
As the Skid Steer travels over uneven terrain, the Skid
Steer hitch plate tilt angle and lift arm height will need
readjusting frequently to maintain correct deck
positioning.

Nominal Cutting Height is the
distance from bottom of the
front leading cutting blade to
ground level.
“A” is 1 1/2" less than Nominal Cutting Height
and is the distance from bottom of Skid Shoe
at the front deck corner to ground level.
The rear deck corner should be raised
slightly higher above ground level
than the front deck corner.
