2) Inspect the hydraulic couplers and wipe
off water, dust, or any debris which can
damage hydraulic components. Once
cleaned, connect the couplers from the
cutter to the auxiliary hydraulic system on
the excavator/backhoe. Twist the collars of
the quick connect couplers to secure the
hydraulic connections. ALL 42X AND 48X
BRUSH CUTTERS MAY BE RUN WITHOUT
A CASE DRAIN LINE IF TOTAL RETURN
PRESSURE IS LESS THAN 300 PSI. ALL
EXCAVATORS WITH RETURN PRESSURE
(BACK PRESSURE) GREATER THAN 300
PSI WILL REQUIRE A CASE DRAIN LINE.
Failure to run without a case drain line or
an improperly connected case drain line
will result in excess case pressure. All
motors are equipped with a check valve on
the top of the motor to relieve excess case
pressure. Should you see leaking from the
check valve, make sure the case drain line
is connected properly. Operating the brush
cutter without a case drain line will cause
damage to the motor and void the warranty.
3) Make sure the hoses are routed in a way
that allows the head to make a full range of
motion. If hoses are too long and pinching
or binding, they can be made shorter by
loosening the hose bracket and feeding
additional hose length back to the cutter
deck.
4) Confirm all safety measures have been
completed per the Safety First! section
(pages 2-3). Most importantly, make sure
the area is clear of people and pets.
1) Ensure pins or quick couplers are properly
connected from the brush cutter to your
excavator/backhoe.
NOTE: All Brush Wolf brush cutters come
from the factory with the female flat faced
coupler on the pressure line and the male
coupler on the return line.
