Bengal Brute Common Section 6 - 69
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATION - CLEAN CUTTER
Inspect clean cutter saw before each use. Re-torque spindle bolts to 204 Ft-
lbs. Inspect blade around collar and near the teeth for bends and cracks. Check for
loose, broken, chipped, dull of missing teeth. Tighten all loose teeth by hammering and
or replacing rivets. If teeth are broken, chipped, or missing or if blade is cracked or
becomes bent remove blade and have it repaired at an approved service center. Call
Tiger Service Department for replacement parts and service.
The TRB50 Clean Cutter is intended for clean cutting trees and brush up to six
(6) inches in diameter maximum. Turn mower “ON” while tractor is running at idle
RPM. Then increase tractor speed to 1,950 RPM maximum. Note, this tractor engine
speed produces a mower speed of 1,500 RPM. DO NOT operate the clean cutter
mower at speeds in exess of 1,500 RPM. If saw blade wobbles in exess of two (2)
inches while tractor is idling, STOP, remove the blade and have it repaired an an approved
service center. Call Tiger Service Department for replacement parts and service.
Allow saw to accelerate to maximum speed before moving into foliage. Advance
mower head smoothly in foliage. Allow saw to cut through material, do not force or over
feed. If saw slows excessively, move the head out of the foliage, and allow the saw to
achieve maximum speed. DO NOT move up or down or roll mower head while cutting
through heavy foliage. DO NOT use clean cutter mower on the ground. The saw blade
is equipped with carbide tips, which are very hard. Striking rocks, steel, concerte, or
other similar debris will break these tips.
Badly worn teeth increase stress to the saw blade and require more horsepower
to cut than sharp teeth. Set-up a scheduled maintenance program for the saw before
the teeth are dull. The saw will last longer, product a better cut, cut large diameter
foliage without binding, and will cost less to operate.
Check adapter and collar every time saw is changed, maintain the .004 inch
taper on face (surface against the saw blade) of these two (2) items. Always clean
adapter and collar before mounting the blade. If adapter or collars are worn or damaged,
they must be replaced.
Familiarize yourself with the machines operation and correct operating
safety precautions.
