Drive Slow and Avoid Rollover
i. When traveling forward, keep mulcher low to ground on rough and
uneven terrain.
ii.
Avoid sharp turns.
iii.
Use caution when operating on any slope.
iv.
Do not exceed load capacity of your skid steer.
d.
Avoid Power Lines
i.
Always check for clearance and working area before raisingmulcher.
ii. Do NOT leave operator’s seat if any part of the equipment contacts
electric lines or cables.
e.
Detach Mulcher Safely
i.
Detach on a firm and flat surface to prevent mulcher from rolling or
falling over.

raised implement.
ii.
Before servicing, lower mulcher to ground, engage parking brake in
machine, shut off engine and remove key.
g.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
i.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin and cause serious
injury.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
i.
Pre-Operation Checklist.
It is the operator’s responsibility to perform the
following checks prior to operations of mulcher:
i. Verify all hardware is tightened.
ii.
Inspect hoses and fittings for wear, damage, and leaks. Replace
damaged or leaking hoses before use.
iii.
Refer to operating machine user’s manual for prestart instructions.
iv.
Review and understand this manual and operating machine manual.
v. Inspect planned working area for local utilities, power lines, or other
potential dangers.
vi.
Before first use, ensure gear oil has been added to port
(85W/90GL- 5) to appropriate level. See “Grease/Oil Points"
section on Pages 7- 10 for more details.
vii.
Before first use, ensure belt tension pulley has been greased. See
“Grease/Oil Points" section on Pages 7-10 for more details.
j.
Attach and DetachMulcher:
i.
Follow all safety instructions.
ii.

correct position.
iii.
Connect hydraulic hoses. Verify hoses are clear of moving parts.
iv.
Connect electrical wiring to skid steer power source. This powers
the internal fan.
v.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
k.
Operation Procedures:
i.
Test functions in clear, open area with skid steer in idle. Understand
controls of machine before using at full speed onbrush/trees.
ii. Starting Mulcher:
1.
Lower the mulcher so skid plates are grounded.
2.
Slowly engage mulcher at low idle, and increase mulcher
drum to approximately half speed (1000 RPM). Verify the
drum and host machine are working properly before
increasing to full speed.
3.
Increase the drum to full speed and slowly proceed forward
into brush. Optimal drum speed is 1700-2000 RPM.
iii.
Stopping Mulcher:
1.
Set engine speed to low idle, lower the mulcher to
ground, disengage hydraulics until rotor stops.
2.
Stop skid steer engine and remove key.
iv.
Instructions for Debris Types:
1. Brush: When clearing brush, set the skid plates on ground
level and travel forward at a pace that does not decrease
rotor RPM. Once the pass is complete, angle the mulcher
slightly forward and reverse back through the trail. This will
produce a more finished surface.
2.
Trees: Start at trunk with the mulcher tilted back at a slight
angle. When you are 75% through the tree, tilt forward so the
push bar is helping pushing the tree down. Once fallen,
position the mulcher on top of the tree to grind off the limbs.
Then grind down the remainder of the trunk slowly.
This can
take many passes depending on tree type and diameter.
3. Ground Mulching: Mulcher is capable of mulching about
3” below ground level. However, note engaging the
ground will wear teeth much faster than brush.
