To Our Customers
We at Hardee by EVH Manufacturing Company thank
you for buying your new Hydraulic Rotary Cutter.
We have labored hard to build a cutter to do the work
you have in mind. Many hours of engineering, field-
testing and improvement have gone into the design
and fabrication of your cutter. We will strive to
continue this quality of manufacturing in the future,
always keeping the customer’s needs clearly in mind.
The best performance of your cutter will depend on
you. Proper lubrication, maintenance, hookup,
adjustments and operation are essential for it to give
you long and dependable service. However, as with
any type of equipment, your cutter is designed to
perform specific functions.
In this manual, you will find instructions on cutter
features, maintenance and operation. If customer
service or repair parts are required, contact your local
Hardee dealer. PLEASE SPECIFY MODEL AND
SERIAL NUMBER WHEN ORDERING PARTS.
