Basic Operation
Running Your BrushHound
ATTENTION
The shredder should be run at 2000 RPM.
1.
Ground speed should range anywhere from 0
-
5 miles per hour. However, the operator
should drive at a speed he or she is comfortable with within this range.
2.
The sides of the shredder should be level with the ground while it is running.
3.
The weight of the shredder should be on the gauge roller, which runs on the ground.
4.
This shredder can be raised slightly to mulch larger brush, but never high enough to
where the blades are exposed to the operator.
5.
If your BrushHound has the optional skid shoes, make sure they are not running on the
ground. They are made only to collide with small hills, mounds or other uneven surfac-
es and are not made to run on the ground.
6.
Cutter drum rotations can be reversed to one of two directions. The first is the re
-
cut
direction. With this application, the cutter drum rotates opposite to the wheel direction.
This application is designed to cut the material more than once, but requires more
horsepower and a lower ground speed. The second is the one
-
cut direction. With this
application, the cutter drum will rotate the same direction as the operating vehicle tires.
The material will only be cut once but you can run at a higher ground speed and it re-
quires less horsepower.
