To begin with, learn what the cutter
head looks like in a level cutting
position when you are seated in the
skid steer. Knowing what a level cutter
head looks like will help you avoid
damage to the cutting blades by
cutting too close to the ground
surface.
Rotate the boom 90° to the right and
learn what the level position looks like
when cutting off to the side of the skid
steer. Roll out the skid steer's tilt
cylinder and notice how it affects the
cutter head.
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.
