Section 3: Operating Procedures
Operating Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage and
maintenance of the Rotary Cutter. Therefore, it is
absolutely essential that no one operates the Rotary
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 7
• Section 2: Adjustments, page 15
• Section 3: Operating Procedures, page 17
• Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 24
Perform the following inspections before using your
Rotary Cutter.
Safety Information
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high
speeds; therefore, the use of front and rear safety guards is
mandatory when cutting along roadways and in areas where
people may be present. Stop blade rotation if a bystander is
in or around the area.
• Do not use cutter as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly
designed or guarded for this use.
• Do not operate cutter with skid shoes higher than 16 1/2"
off the ground. Always use height adjusting safety chain to
limit cutting height. Raising cutter too high will throw
debris at the operator.
• All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the implement.
• Do not operate cutter after dark without working lights.
The equipment can hit unseen objects or be hit by other
vehicles. The operator can loose control of the tractor and
cutter causing a wreck or roll-over.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always shut skid steer down using “Skid Steer Shut Down
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting to
maintain and/or make adjustments to the skid steer cutter.
• 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 become entangled in hydraulic hoses while entering
or exiting the skid steer operator station.
• Do not operate and/or travel across inclines where tractor
and/or implement can roll over. Consult your tractor’s
manual for acceptable inclines the tractor is capable of
traveling across.
• Do not operate cutter without a polycarbonate door
mounted to the cab and protective eye wear such as safety
glasses or goggles. Flying objects from the cutter can cause
serious injury to the body and eyes.
• Do not travel too fast. The rougher the terrain, the slower
you must travel. Always travel at a speed slow enough to be
able to adjust the deck height before running it into the
ground. Also, travel slow enough to stop before running or
turning into obstacles ahead and on either side.
• Do not use attachment to lift, carry, push or tow other
equipment and objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
• Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with
control of the equipment, be pinched by moving
components, become entangled in rotating components, be
struck by objects, be thrown or fall from the equipment, etc.
• Do not use attachment to pull and/or pry fence posts,
stumps, roots, rocks, or other objects out of the ground. It is
not properly designed or guarded for this use.
• Do not use attachment as a lifting device for people or as a
work platform. It is not properly designed or guarded for
this use..
• Do not operate cutter with blades that are out-of-balance,
bent, excessively worn, excessively nicked, or with blade
bolts that are excessively worn. Such blades can break loose
at high speeds.
• Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
• Do not exceed rated cutting capacity of your cutter. See
specifications & capacities for specified cutting capacity.
Exceeding rated cutting capacity can damage drive
components, cutter blades, and deck components.
