CAUTION When traveling on public roads at night or during the day, use accessory lights and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws. IMPORTANT: Always disengage the tractor’s PTO before raising the cutter to transport position. 8. When raising the cutter to the transport position be sure that driveline does not contact tractor or cutter. 9. Be sure to reduce tractor ground speed when turning; and, leave enough clearance so the cutter does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences. 10. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with a farm tractor of sufficient size and horsepower. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. 11. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to a lower gear. Operating Check List In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment. Before beginning to cut, the following inspection should be performed. Operating Checklist ! DANGER To prevent personal injury caused by thrown objects, the use of front & rear safety guards is strongly recommended! To avoid injury or death from entanglement in rotating drivelines, the drive gearbox shields must be in place and secure when operating. ! CAUTION0Damage may occur if exceeding the rated cutting capacity of the cutter! ! CAUTION Do not over speed PTO or machine damage may result. This cutter is designed to be used with the tractors having a 540 RPM rear PTO. Know what your tractor requirements are. Cutting Instructions 1. Your cutter is equipped with free swinging cutting blades to reduce shock loads to the cutter if striking obstacles. 2. Start the machine slowly; do not use full throttle. Allow 10 seconds for cutter blades to become aligned properly before going to full power. 3. The ground speed depends on two things: the density of the material being cut, and the size of the tractor. Never run fast enough to overload the tractor. 4. It is important to maintain correct RPM PTO speed. Loss of PTO speed will allow the blades to hinge back and result in ragged, uneven cutting. 5. This cutter was designed to cut grass and brush 1” maximum diameter in right-of-ways, pastures and for shredding row crop residues. Check Reference “Important Safety Information” in this Manual.
