Cutting Tips
this attachment when bystanders are in
proximity of the work area that could
result in Minor or Serious Injury from
flying debris.
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
the inspection part before start of
operation.
2.
Operate at a safe slow-paced
speed that will allow you to watch
the area ahead of the cutter &
loader.
3.
Make sure you are operating the
skid steer's engine at an rpm that
will produce the volume of oil
flow required for this attachment.
Cutting Ground Level Vegetation
4.
Raise the rear of the brush cutter
approximately 4" (102 mm) above
ground level. The deck should be
slightly sloping downward away
from the operator.
5.
Your rotary brush cutter is
capable of cutting and mulching
small trees and other vegetation
of up to 7" in diameter.
Learn and realize which way the
tree is likely to fall so it does not
end up crashing onto you in the
skid steer.

the cutter blade. If the operator can
see the cutter blade, the back of the
cutter is raised TOO HIGH and should
be lowered to avoid debris being
thrown back at the operator and
causing Minor or Serious Injury.
Cutting Above Ground Level Vegetation
6.
Tilt the front of the deck
approximately 1 to 2 feet above
ground level, but do not raise the
rear of the deck. Drive slowly into
the vegetation and use the
hydraulic tilt to bend or push the
vegetation forward. Allow the
cutter blade to cut the vegetation.
Lower the front of the deck as you
continue to mulch the material.
Back drag the cutter to further
minimize the size of the debris.
7.
If the cutter speed slows down,
reduce your travel speed and
allow cutter to reach the proper
rotating speed. Mowing too fast
in thick material could result in
balling of material underneath the
cutter deck resulting in a loss of
cutting efficiency.
8.
Never use your cutter to push,
pull, lift or move any type of
object or vehicle. Do not use this
attachment to "push" down trees
without the cutter being used.
9.
Always allow cutter to come up to
operating speed before moving
attachment into the material you
want to cut.
