  • Page 14: Pre-Operation

    Pre-Operation GENERAL INFORMATION Your attachment is operated by the prime mover’s auxiliary hydraulics and mounts to the prime mover’s toolbar mechanism for easy operator hook-up. Your prime mover/loader must have an auxiliary hydraulic system and an IMPACT- RESISTANT, SHATTERPROOF 1/2" THICK POLYCARBONATE FRONT CAB DOOR to operate the rotary cutter.

  • Page 15: Installation Instructions

    Installation Instructions GENERAL INFORMATION The following instructions will help you to mount your rotary cutter onto your prime mover/loader. The rotary cutter is designed for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know how to attach your loader bucket, attaching the rotary cutter should prove no problem. Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before operating the attachment.

  • Page 16: Operating Instructions

    Operating Instructions GENERAL INFORMATION The rotary cutter attaches to the toolbar (or quick-attach) mechanism of your prime mover/loader. Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the prime mover’s controls is necessary for safe machine operation. Read and understand your prime mover operator’s manual for information regarding prime mover operation before attempting to use the rotary cutter.
  • Page 17 Operating Instructions GENERAL INFORMATION Raise the back of the unit off of the ground approximately 4” to allow the material to clear from under the cutting deck as you travel forward. Place the front skids 2-6” off the ground. This is the preferred position for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.
  • Page 18 Operating Instructions AVOID STALLING ROTARY CUTTER: Continuous rotation is required to prevent overheating of the hydraulic system. Overheating of the hydraulic system is caused if hydraulic oil is repeatedly forced over the relief valve setting on either the prime mover or rotary cutter (whichever is less).

  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    Operating Instructions TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING CONDITIONS Below are listed a few operating conditions that may cause repeated stalling of your rotary cutter, and suggestions on how to correct them. GRASS TOO LONG OR THICK: If cutting heavy vegetation, you may need to slow travel speed or make smaller passes (less than full cut) to prevent overloading and stalling the unit.
  • Page 20 Operating Instructions STORAGE The following storage procedure will help you to keep your rotary cutter in top condition. It will also help you get off to a good start the next time your cutter is needed. We therefore strongly recommend that you take the extra time to follow these procedures whenever your unit will not be used for an extended period of time.

  • Page 21: Lubrication

    Lubrication GENERAL INFORMATION Economical and efficient operation of any machine is dependent upon regular and proper lubrication of all moving parts with a quality lubricant. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, wear, breakdown, and needless replacement of parts. WEEKLY CHECK The oil level in the drive bearing housing should be checked once a week. Fill as necessary with a mild extreme pressure lubricant API-GL-5, No.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    Maintenance GENERAL INFORMATION Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However, it is very important that these maintenance functions be performed as described. To avoid serious injury. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, set the parking brake, stop the prime mover engine, and remove the key.
  • Page 23 Maintenance To avoid serious injury. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, set the parking brake, stop the prime mover engine, and remove the key. Disconnect the hydraulic couplers. If unit must be left raised for maintenance, block the unit securely to prevent accidental release of the lifting mechanism.
  • Page 24 Maintenance Continued from page 23. Replace or sharpen blade and then loosely bolt blade into position on the carrier. (Install blade bolts from the bottom up, with the washer & lock nut towards the access opening.) NOTE: With one hand under the blade carrier, holding the blade and blade bolt, loosely install the washer and lock nut.
  • Page 25 Maintenance Continued from page 24. Remove the capscrews holding the motor to the drive bearing housing, and remove the motor. Check motor seal (O-ring) for damage and replace if required. Install the new motor with O-ring onto the drive bearing housing using the existing hardware. Torque to specifications.
  • Page 26 Maintenance REPLACING DRIVE BEARING HOUSING Continued from page 25. Remove the capscrews holding the motor to the drive bearing housing, and remove the motor, setting it into a clean container to help prevent any contaminants from entering the hydraulic system. Check motor O-ring for damage and replace if required. Remove the hex nuts securing the drive bearing housing to the cutter deck and install new housing using the existing hardware.
  • Page 27 Maintenance CHANGING OIL IN DRIVE BEARING HOUSING When changing the oil in the drive bearing housing the unit should be setting firmly on the ground with the hydraulic couplers disconnected. We recommend removing the existing oil with a fluid removal pump.
