Cutting Height
Using Lift Restriction Chains -
A lift restriction chain is a length of chain that attach from the skid loader frame to the attachment
point on the cutter unit. The chain is intended to limit cutter height, insuring that
the cutter remains
below the operator’s level, to keep debris from being discharged toward the operator.
A bracket attached to front of the skid loader’s frame holds the center of the choke chain taut in slots
milled to the width of a chain link. Choke chain length is adjustable by choosing which chain link
is inserted into the retention slots of the bracket on top of the cutter; ne-tuning of the chain lengths
may be performed by twisting the chains before securing the chains into their retention slots.

Warning Be certain that skid loader engine is stopped, key is removed, and all
rotation of the cutter has ceased before making adjustments to choke chains.
Caution Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the ground with blades can
cause a damaging shock that can damage both the cutter and the skid loader.
Set the cutter to the desired height; the cutter is designed to operate with a cutting
height range between 2” and 12”. Note that, on level ground, the front of the cutter
should be 1” below the rear.
