Inspection Checklist

!WARNING

Do not operate Rotary Cutter without an operator protective 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.

!WARNING

The SC2660 Rotary Cutter is designed to cut grass and brush up to 2” in diameter. Using this cutter for another type of work can damage the drive components, deck and support frame.

!WARNING

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.

Remember, sudden dropping of the front tires can slam the deck into the ground. Also, travel slow enough to stop before running or turning into obstacles ahead and on either side.

!CAUTION

Rotary Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds. Therefore, the use of front & rear deck safety shields is required! Keep all bystanders at least 100 yards away. Flying objects from the cutter can cause serious injury or death.

!CAUTION

Do not cut after dark without working lights. The equipment can be damaged from hitting objects not seen in the dark and from being hit by vehicles not able to see the equipment.

!CAUTION

Cutter deck can be slippery especially when wet. Always step on the anti grip pads when possible. Never hurry. Make sure you have secure footing and hand hold when walking on the deck.

!WARNING

Do not become entangled in the hydraulic hoses. Tripping over the hoses while entering or exiting the Skid Steer operator station can cause serious injury to the body.

!DANGER

Do not cut on steep inclines. The Skid Steer could flip over causing damage to the equipment, serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Do not use deck to lift, push or pull objects. This can damage the deck, cause serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Never carry a person on the cutter. A person can fall and be ran over causing serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Do not use deck as a working platform. The deck is not properly designed or guarded for this use. Using deck as a working platform can cause serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Do not use deck as a fan. Cutting blades are not properly designed or guarded for this use. Using the deck as a fan can cause serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Do not operator the cutter with cutting blades raised higher than 18" off the ground. Always use the height adjusting safety chain to limit cutting height to 18" (16 1/2" skid shoe height). Raising the cutter higher can throw debris at the operator and cause serious injury or death.

!DANGER

Shields must be secured in place when operating to avoid injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines.
