Rotating Parts Warnings; Hydraulic System Warnings - Tar River XBC60 Manual

ROTATING PARTS WARNINGS

• ALWAYS disengage power to the Brush Cutter and shut the skid steer loader engine off prior to leaving the
operator's cab or performing any inspection or maintenance to either the brush cutter or the skid steer loader.
• NEVER place hands or feet under the Brush Cutter deck or near the blade system while the unit is in operation.
• NEVER articulate (roll) the deck downward to a degree that exposes the operator to the blade system.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WARNINGS

• ALWAYS release the pressure on the hydraulic system of the cutter prior to removing the attachment from the skid
steer loader or working on any part of the hydraulic system. Hydraulic hoses and components operate under
extreme pressure and heat. A small stream of fluid from a pinhole leak in a hydraulic hose can penetrate the skin
and/or cause burns. Whenever hydraulic fluid is injected into the body, seek medical attention at once to reduce
chances of a dangerous infection. ALWAYS wash skin with soap and water after contact with hydraulic fluid, as it
is an irritant to skin and eyes.
• Your Brush Cutter has been designed to reduce the likelihood of hydraulic system leakage. Each and every
hydraulic system is checked prior to shipment. However, over time, any hydraulic system may develop fluid leaks.
Small leaks may produce high-pressure discharge flows capable of causing injury should skin come in contact with
such discharge.
• Leaking fluid can make the deck and ground surfaces very slippery, causing difficulty in using tools and also
increasing the possibility of slips and falls. ALWAYS wipe away all fluid that may have leaked during
maintenance.
• NEVER operate a Brush Cutter on a "high-flow" skid steer loader unless the cutter is equipped with a "high-flow"
motor. Motor failure can occur if such use is performed. Damage incurred to the hydraulic motor due to "high -
flow" usage is not covered. Please refer to the front cover of the manual for the maximum allowable flow for your
Brush Cutter.
