Rotary Cutter
•The Rotary Cutting Head is rated to cut vegetation up to 5” in diameter.
•Objects tend to be thrown out from under the head in the direction of blade rotation and toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid cutting with the head tilted at an angle that objects would be thrown towards the unit operator position.
•When clearing brush and small trees, operate unit at 1 mph ground speed and position cutter head at an angle that will cut 2’ to 3’ into the growth. Make the first pass just above ground level. This will remove the low branches and allow operator a better view of the material to plan for the next pass. After repeated passes,
each elevated approximatly 4’ above the last, the main trunks of the trees will be exposed and they can be cut as desired. This avoids clogging the head with cut and mulched material.
•Open the hydraulically operated door to allow blades to reach large diameter vegetation. Operate the mower with the door closed when cutting grass, weeds, and light brush to reduce thrown objects for safer mower operation.
•When operating near the ground or when mulching be particularly careful that there are no bystanders or animals with a 100 yards. Debri tends to fly out at great speed and can injure or even cause death.

Grass Flail
•The Grass Flail head is rated for cutting grass only.
•The Grass Flail operates attached to the boom arm, and is ideal for cutting hard to reach areas where a smooth cut is required.
•Cutting height ranges from 3/4” to 4” in vegetation. Cutting height is set by adjusting the height of the roller assembly.
•When operating near the ground or when mulching be particularly careful that there are no bystanders or animals with a 100 yards. Debri tends to fly out at great speed and can
injure or even cause death.
