OPERATING CONTROLS

HYDRAULIC LEVERS

• Move levers slowly.
• Both levers forward
• Both levers backward
• The left lever forward and the right lever backward
turn the machine quickly to the right.
• The left lever backward and the right lever forward
turn the machine quickly to the left.
• Only using the left or right lever forward
• Only using the left or right lever backwards
• Correcting direction while moving forward is accomplished by slightly reducing pressure on
one lever or the other while moving.
• The center position on levers causes wheels to lock-up.
• Always chock wheels and tie down machine when transporting.
**Control levers are low in vibration.

SEAT SWITCH

The seat has a safety switch. Operator must be properly positioned for machine to run.

CYLINDER LIFT

The cylinder lift lever raises and lowers the cylinder and cutting head. After setting slide plate to proper
height, use the cylinder lift lever to set blade to proper cutting angle. Pull back
to raise the cutting head. Push the cylinder lift lever forward
push the cylinder lift lever forward and it will adjust the angle of the cutting head. This will also jack up the
front of the machine (See Figure B). This will need to be done when doing maintenance on the machine
(ie: wheel changing, front caster maintenance etc). When doing machine maintenance, besides raising
the cutting head angle, place blocks under the machine (See Figure C). Never use the cutting head only.
WARNING:
Do Not alter a switch or lever. Do Not defeat a safety device.
WARNING
: Disarm machine by removing the cutting head or dropping the cutting head to the
floor when the machine is not in use.
