17Battle Ax Skid Loader OM
Getting Started
For best results, the areas to be mowed should be free
of debris such as bottles, metal objects, rocks and wire
etc. The teeth cut and pulverize the brush, grass and
weeds.
Operate the Battle Ax as low to the ground as possible
without the teeth striking ground or other obstructions.
Because of the high speed of the teeth, the life of the
teeth will be reduced if it is operated in rocky terrain or in
areas where many obstacles are present. The Battle Ax
deposits cut material over the entire width-of-cut, which
eliminates bunching or windrowing behind the machine.
Operation
Tilt attachment mounting frame back and raise the Battle
Ax slightly above the ground when moving the machine.
NOTE: Operate the Battle Ax as low to the ground as
possible without the teeth striking ground or
other obstructions.
WARNING: Lifting or tilting the Battle Ax
increases the risk of flying debris.
WARNING: DO NOT allow ANY people or
animals within 300 feet of the work area while
operating this machine.
Lower the Battle Ax until the skids contact the ground.
Engage the auxiliary hydraulics. Move the loader and
Battle Ax forward and begin mowing.
NOTE: Various mowing conditions, and desired finished
cut appearance, will determine proper ground
speed.
