Alamo FC-0001 Rotary Cutter, Grass Flail

OPERATION

MAVERICK 3/09 Operation Section 3-44

OPERATION

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 br ush and small trees, op er a te

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 abo ve gr ou n d

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 hydraulica lly 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 bystande rs or

animals with a 100 yards. Debri tends to fly out at great speed and can injure or even cause death.
