Safety Information

DANGER

Operate only tractors equipped with Roll-Over Protective

Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Fasten seat belt snugly and

securely to help protect operator from being thrown, crushed,

or severely injured in a rollover or from falling off the tractor

and being ran over by the tractor and/or cutter.

DANGER

Never allow riders including children on the tractor or cutter.

They can fall and be ran over, become entangled in rotating

components, and/or pinched by moving components causing

serious injury or death.

DANGER

Keep others away from the cutter while it is operating. Rotary

Cutters have the ability to discharge objects at high speeds

causing serious injury or death. The use of front & rear safety

guards is strongly recommended and should always be used

when cutting along highways and in areas where bystanders

are present. Stop blade rotation if bystanders are nearby!

DANGER

Do not operate cutter with a bent or broken driveline. Such a

driveline can break apart while rotating at high speeds

causing serious injury or death. Always remove Rotary Cutter

from service until damaged driveline is repaired or replaced.

DANGER

Do not operate cutter without both wings attached. Removing

one wing will expose blades and increase risk of rollover.

Removing both wings will expose blades on both sides.

Exposed blades can result in serious injury and/or death.

DANGER

Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking

driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A

person’s body and/or clothing can become entangled in the

driveline resulting in serious injury or death.

DANGER

Never place hands or feet under the deck or attempt to make

adjustments to the cutter with PTO engaged. Cutter blades

rotating at high speeds cannot be seen and are located close

to the deck housing. Body extremities can be cut off instantly.

DANGER

Do not operate on or travel across steep inclines where a

tractor or cutter could roll-over resulting in serious injury or

death. Consult your tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines

the tractor is capable of traveling across.

DANGER

Tractor PTO shield, gearbox shaft shield and driveline shields

must be secured in place when operating cutter to avoid injury

or death from entanglement in driveline!

DANGER

Always disconnect main driveline from tractor PTO before

servicing underside of cutter. PTO can be engaged if tractor is

started causing cutter damage, bodily injury or death.

DANGER

Do not operate cutter with one or both wings folded up. This

can cause the driveline to break apart and throw objects at the

operator or a bystander causing serious injury or death.

DANGER

Do not use cutting blades as a fan. Cutting blades are not

properly designed or guarded for this use. Using cutter as a

fan can result in injury and/or death.

DANGER

Clear area to be cut of debris and other unforeseen removable

objects before cutting. Mark any potential hazards that cannot

be removed such as tree stumps, post, large rocks, holes, and

drop-offs with a visible flag.

WARNING

Always disengage PTO, place tractor in park or set park

brake, shut tractor engine off, remove switch key, and wait for

blades to stop before dismounting from tractor.

WARNING

Keep all objects out of blade bolt access hole except when

servicing cutter blades. Make sure the main driveline is

disconnected from tractor PTO before servicing cutter blades.

WARNING

Do not use cutter to tow other equipment. Doing so can

damage the cutter, cause serious bodily injury or death.
