OPERATING WARNING
Before operating and after 8 hours of use, check torque on all bolts and nuts.
ATTACHMENT OF MACHINE
The installation of your Brush Cutter is the same for any other powered attachment for your skid steer loader:
1. Using the attached instructions, connect the Safety chain to skid steer prior to using Brush Cutter. (Page 8)
2. Pull up to the brush cutter and connect it to your skid steer loader.
3. Secure the lock down lever or levers.
4. Connect the hydraulic hoses from the brush cutter to your machine. The hoses provided are equipped with quick-
disconnect fittings (both male and female) for ease of use.
CUTTING OPERATION
The brush cutter is capable of, and in fact intended to be utilized for, mulching trees and other vegetation of varying
heights and diameters of up to 5"-6". As a safety feature, when cutting large diameter vegetation, the Brush Cutter is
equipped with a hydraulic motor cushion valve for shut down of the blade system. This feature lessens the chance of
damaging the cutter's hydraulic system or blade system when cutting larger diameter vegetation. Directions for use
are as follows:
CUTTING GROUND LEVEL VEGETATION
Raise the rear of the brush cutter approximately 4"-5" above ground level. The deck of the brush cutter should be
sloping downward and away from the operator. This is the optimum position for cutting materials that are close
to the ground. Please note: If the operator can see the blade system in operation, the back of the brush cutter is
raised TOO HIGH I
CUTTING ABOVE GROUND LEVEL VEGETATION
Raise the front deck of the brush cutter up approximately l' 2' above ground level. Do not lift the rear portion of
the deck. Keep it approximately 4" -5" above ground level. Slowly drive into the vegetation and use the
hydraulic tilt (roll) to bend or push the vegetation over. As you bend the vegetation over and drive into it, the
blades will cut it into. The vegetation can now be mulched by rotating the front of the brush cutter and driving
forward several feet. Then roll the back of the cutter down and back-drag atop the vegetation.
