OPERATION

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 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.

OPS-B- 0039

The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.

All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact. (SGM-3)

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing. Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
