Look for the
symbol throughout this manual to point out important safety precautions. Remember, the safety of

GENERAL WARNINGS
• NEVER operate this or any other equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• NEVER carry passengers on the Brush Cutter.
• NEVER leave the Brush Cutter unattended in a raised position.
• ALWAYS stop and inspect both the skid steer loader and cutter for damage after striking a foreign object. Any
damage should be repaired prior to restarting the skid steer loader engine and resuming cutting.
• Cut only in daylight or well-lit artificial light.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight and be sure the equipment is in safe operating condition and check the blade
mounting bolts for proper tightness at frequent intervals.
• If attached to your skid steer loader, visually inspect your lock-on pins to ensure that the Brush Cutter is locked
onto your skid steer loader. Remember, the Brush Cutter is made of all steel components and is extremely heavy.
• When working under the deck of the Brush Cutter, always securely block it up to reduce the risk of it
• falling.
• Reduce speeds on slopes and make turns gradually to prevent tipping or loss of control. Exercise extreme caution
while making turns on slopes.
• Stay alert for holes or drop-offs on all terrains.
• Use caution when walking on the deck of the Brush Cutter. The deck may be extremely slick when wet.
• NEVER operate your Brush Cutter with the deck raised more than two (2) feet.
• ALWAYS operate with safety chain attached.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE CUTTING AREA AT ALL TIMES.
DEBRIS DISCHARGE WARNINGS
Your brush cutter discharges debris out the front of the machine. When cutting with the Brush Cutter, NEVER
discharge material toward bystanders. All bystanders must be AT LEAST 75 feet away when operating the cutter.
NEVER allow bystanders near the machine while it is in operation. When cutting near bystanders is unavoidable,
DO NOT operate the cutter without the front guard flap in place (if equipped with guard flap).
• ALWAYS clear the cutting area of objects (bottles, rocks, fencing, wire, etc.) that may be picked up and thrown.
• ALWAYS use a shatterproof cab door or the 3/8" thick safety chain that came with your Brush Cutter (optional)
when cutting. The door is used not only to protect the operator from flying debris, but also from overhanging or
protruding objects (tree limbs, rebar, vines, etc.) from entering the cab and causing operator injury.
