SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THE CUTTING KNIVES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. Always handle the Water
Weedsickle with care.
NEVER OPERATE THE WATER WEEDSICKLE WITH PEOPLE OR PETS IN THE
WATER.
When cutting weeds, beware of objects in the water such as dock supports,
swim ladders, boat lifts, water or power lines, ropes etc. which could come
into contact with the Cutter Bar.
Do not allow children to operate the Water Weedsickle.
Do not run the Water Weedsickle out of the water.
When not in use the Water Weedsickle should be stored indoors. Always
store the machine in a manner where the cutting knives are not exposed. If
the machine is stored in an upright position attach it to a wall to prevent it
from falling over resulting in possible personal injury. (The Water
Weedsickle is top heavy due to the Gearmotor and is likely to tip over if not
secured)

located on the back of the Cutter Bar
Install the Tube Assembly to the Cutter Bar Mounting Bracket so that the two (2) 1/4”
holes line up. When positioning the Tube Assembly to the Cutter Bar make sure the
Cam Lever on the end of the Tube Assembly is fitted into the slot in the Cam Driver on
the Cutter Bar. The Cam Lever may be rotated by hand in order to position it correctly.
Reinstall the two (2) 1/4” nuts onto the two (2) 1/4” bolts and tighten both nuts

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Clamp the Water Weedsickle to the desire location on your boat. We recommend
mounting the machine on the transom as close to the motor as possible to minimize the
drag affect of the Cutter Bar. For small boats (12’ and under) mounting the Water
Weedsickle to the transom and rowing is a very effective method of cutting weeds.
Rowing also allows for excellent control of the boat.
TIP: Rowing in reverse with the Water Weedsickle rotated 180° provides an excellent view
of where you are cutting.
It is easiest to clamp the machine to the boat in a horizontal (fully tilted) position and then
lower the Cutter Bar into the water after the clamps are tightened.
Adjust the depth of the cut and tighten the Depth Adjustment Handle securely by hand.
Make sure the Cutter Bar is clear of the motor’s lower unit and the bottom of the boat.
The machine will operate in a tilted position for cutting in shallow water. (The initial
cutting depth for fully grown weeds is two (2) feet maximum)
The forward speed of the boat is to be dependent on the density of the weed mass. A
tearing or raking effect is a clear indication of too much forward speed. The Water
Weedsickle must be allowed to cut the weeds and not tear or rake them. The maximum
fuse amperage is 20 amps. Repeated blowing of the fuse is an indication of too much
forward speed and/or the Cutter Bar touching the bottom.
DO NOT allow the Cutter Bar to be dragged along the lake bottom. This may result in
serious damage to the machine. If you are uncertain of the depth of the water, or of
underwater obstacles (stumps, rocks, etc.) we recommend rowing to minimize potential
damage to the machine.
Do not lubricate the Main Support Tube. This will affect the friction fit of the depth
adjustment.
We recommend spraying the Cutter Bar with a light lubricant (WD40, etc.) after each use
to protect to keep the cutting components moving freely. Do not leave the Water
Weedsickle in the water after use.
