Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment are key to the long life of
any attachment. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
Check all bolts after using unit for several hours to be
sure they are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or
illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your
Kubota dealer.
The parts on your cutter have been specially designed
and should only be replaced with genuine Kubota parts.
Do not alter the cutter in a way which will adversely affect
its performance.
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
• Buildup of debris around moving components and
gearboxes is a fire hazard. Keep rotating parts and
gearboxes free from debris to avoid serious injury and
property damage.
• Backup alarm must be in good working order to warn
others. Use a backup camera or rear-view mirror that is in
good condition to help see undesirable situations behind the
unit. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for blind spots.
Hydraulic Maintenance
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your skid
steer reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe the hose ends before attaching
them to your skid steer. Replace the filter element for your
skid steer’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals.
These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent
occurrence of hydraulic problems.
Cutter Blade Maintenance
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Always shut power machine down using the “Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before servicing,
adjusting, cleaning, or maintaining the attachment.
• Do not operate cutter with blades that are out-of-balance,
bent, excessively worn, excessively nicked, or with blade
bolts that are excessively worn. Such blades can break loose
at high speeds.
Always inspect blades before each use. Make certain
they are properly installed and in good working condition.
Blades that are damaged, worn, bent, or excessively
nicked should be replaced. Never try to straighten a bent
blade! Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.
Remove cutting blades and sharpen or replace as
follows:
1. Properly shut down skid steer according to your skid
steer Operator’s Manual.
2. Secure cutter deck in a raised position with solid
supports before servicing underside of cutter.
IMPORTANT: Replace blades in sets with genuine
OEM blades only. It is highly recommended to
replace blades in sets. Not replacing blades in sets
will result in an out-of-balance condition that could
contribute to premature bearing wear/breakage and/
or structural cracks in gearbox and/or deck.
