Cutter Operation
20
CAUTION - NEVER OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT PROPER SAFETY DEVICES
IN PLACE - SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR.
Caution! After the rst hour of operation, the Brush Cutter must be shut down for
maintenance and inspection. During this time ALL bolts must be checked for proper torque. If any
bolts are found to be loose, they must be tightened. This is also a good time to check for wire or
vines caught around to output shaft of the bearing housing. Check the blade and bolts and shaft for
debris before all start ups.
When the Brush Cutter is cutting large diameter trees it is very important to
keep the cutter deck level. If the cutter deck is not level, its ability to cut is
greatly reduced. There is a tremendous amount of pressure being applied to the
blades, when the blades are making contact with the tree on an elevated angle.
The blades must be level in relationship to the ground. If not level the pressure
can cause the blades to bend or break, possibly causing serious injury or death.
