Section 2 Operating Instructions

Transporting

!CAUTION!

When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to opera- tor’s of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

IMPORTANT: Always disengage the tractor’s PTO before raising the cutter to transport position.

1.When raising the cutter to the transport position be sure that driveline does not contact tractor or cutter.

2.Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning; and, leave enough clearance so the cutter does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

3.Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with a farm tractor of sufficient size and horse power. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

4.When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to a lower gear.

Operating Check List

In addition to design and configuration of equipment; haz- ard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training in- volved in the operation, transport, maintenance and stor- age of equipment. Before beginning to cut, the following inspection should be performed.

!CAUTION!

To prevent personal injury caused by thrown objects, the use of front & rear safety guards is strongly recommended! To avoid injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines, the drive gearbox shields must be in place and secure when operat- ing.

!DANGER!

Rotary cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds; therefore, the use of front & rear safety shields is strongly recommended when cutting along highways or in an area where people may be present.

Cutting Instructions

1.Your cutter is equipped with free swinging cutting blades to reduce shock loads to the cutter if striking obstacles.

2.Start the machine slowly; do not use full throttle. Allow 10 seconds for cutter blades to become aligned prop- erly before going to full power.

3.The ground speed depends on two things: the density of the material being cut, and the size of the tractor. Never run fast enough to overload the tractor.

4.It is important to maintain 540 RPM PTO speed. Loss of PTO speed will allow the blades to hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting.

5.This cutter was designed to cut grass and medium brush in right-of-ways, pastures and for shredding row crop residues.
