The correct ground speed for cutting
with this attachment can be
monitored by sound and feel and
depends on the material density. If the
skid steer engine is bogging down or if
the cutter speed is turning too slow
because of too much load, the ground
speed should be decreased.
Listen and feel for any strange
vibration when working the cutter. A
bad vibration felt when cutting could
indicate a damaged cutting blade, or
material trying to be cut at too fast a
pace. Slow down the skid steers
ground speed to see if vibration stops.
If it does not, stop the cutter, turn off
the skid steer engine and investigate
cause of vibration. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this
manual for further instructions.
Always be aware of your
surroundings. While watching the
cutter, also pay attention to what
obstacles or terrain are in front of the
cutter and prime mover’s wheels.
Maintain a safe speed while cutting.
Cutting tree
branches with the cutter in an
elevated position could result in Death
or Serious Injury if the skid steer
becomes unstable. Never raise the
cutter more a few feet off the ground
when working on slopes or uneven
terrain.
Adjusting Cutter Height
& Level
want to adjust the level of the cutter
deck so the front of the cutter is
approximately 1” (25mm) lower than
the back of the cutter. This will assist
the processing of the material and
will avoid material “balling” under
the deck.
Use care when
operating on uneven terrain or any
type of sloped surface. Keep your
cutter low to the ground when
working in these conditions to avoid a
roll over that could result in Minor or
Serious Injury.
Before Cutting
Inspect the area to be cut and make
sure it is free of any utilities, rocks,
fence posts, or any other objects that
you do not want to cut or that would
damage the cutter.
Determine a safe cutting pattern
before the start of the cut. Stop
the forward progress of the skid
steer loader.
Do not enter into an area to be cut
before the cutter rotation come up
to the operating speed.
Cutting Tips
Never operate
this attachment when bystanders are
in proximity of the work area that
could result in Minor or Serious Injury
from flying debris.
Use the skid steer loader lift to adjust
the elevation of the cutter. The fore
& aft leveling can be accomplished by
using the skid steer’s attachment tilt
cylinders.
When cutting
dense or heavy material, you may
1.
Always inspect work area before
starting the cutter. Locate and
mark any utilities, steel posts,
rocks or any other objects that
could be damaged or would
damage the cutter during
operation. Never assume the
work area is safe and never skip
