INSTRUCTIONS
The following safety instructions are provided to
help prevent injury or limit equipment damage.
Safety Equipment
A re extinguisher and rst aid kit
should be readily accessible while
performing maintenance on this equipment.
Clean Work Area
Do not leave tools lying around
the work area. Follow good
shop practices. Keep service area clean and dry.
Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly
grounded. Use adequate light.
Use the Right Tools
Use the correct tools, jacks, hoists, or
other tools that have the capacity for
the job.
Proper Support
Use certied safety stands rated to
support the load when working
beneath the rotary cutter, or performing repairs,
service, or maintenance.
The rotary cutter weighs 5200 lbs. Before working
underneath, place it on a minimum of four jack
stands, with a load rating of at least 3000 lbs. each.
Do not position the jack stands under wheels, axles,
or wheel supports, as they may rotate and cause the
rotary cutter to fall.
Make sure the jack stands are stable and the rotary
cutter deck is approximately level. Test the stability
of the rotary cutter before working underneath.
If the rotary cutter is attached to the tractor, set
the brakes, remove the key, chock the tractor
wheels, and block the rotary cutter before working
underneath.

the rotary cutter, contact Titan Implement for
