OPERATING TECHNIQUE
1.Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor PTO. Operate PTO at 540 RPM. Know how to stop the tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency.
2.Engage PTO at a low engine RPM to minimize stress on the drive system and gearbox. With PTO engaged, raise PTO speed to 540 RPM and maintain throughout cutting operation.
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with replacement fiber disc or a shear bolt. The slip clutch is designed to slip and the shear bolt will shear when excessive torsional loads occur.
3.Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor engine. Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.
Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the material’s height, type, and density.
