OPERATION
The Safety Shield switch opens and closes the shield located on the front of the cutter head. When mowing at or near the ground, always have the shield in the closed position. When mowing in brush or in trees above ground level the shield may be opened for easier cutting. Read and follow the warnings on the decal shown below. Do not run the cutter head into material larger than 6” diameter.
HEAVY DUTY ROTARY
The Heavy Duty Rotary mower was designed for cutting brush and foliage up to 6 inches in diameter or multiple branches that have a total cross section area equivalent to one 6 inch branch. Cutting multiple limbs at the same time may overload the mower causing it to slow down or stall completely. Regardless of the size of material being cut, the speed of the cutter head must be maintained. To ensure that the cutter head is running at maximum speed, run the tractor at full throttle during mowing operations. If the cutter head slows to the point that the knives are folding back, move the mower head away fron the foliage and allow the cutter head to regain full speed.
