3.3 Connecting Brush Cutter
1. Make sure the hydraulic lines are clear from the front side of the brush cutter’s
attachment plate and that the locking pins on the skid steer mounting plate are
retracted.
2. Drive forward and place top of skid steer mounting plate under the attachment
mounting ange. See Figure 3.3 below.
3. Slowly raise and tilt back the skid steer mounting plate until the brush cutter attachment
plate rests at against the skid steer mounting plate.
4. Activate your skid steer’s lever lock switch to engage and lock the pins into the ange
slots of the brush cutter’s attachment plate. If your skid steer does not have this
switch, push the latch handles down until you can see the lock pins extend into the
attachment ange.
Consult your skid steer operator’s manual for specic instructions on how to connect
your brush cutter to your skid steer loader.

5. Connect the attachment hydraulic hoses and the case drain hose (SBCNS
model only) to the auxiliary supply couplers located on your skid steer loader lift
arm.
DO NOT operate this machine if you can see the cutter blade while seated in the
operator’s seat. If you can see the cutter blade, the back of the cutter is raised TOO
HIGH. Lower the cutter deck to avoid from being struck by ying debris.
3.3 Connecting Brush Cutter Cont.
Check that the hydraulic hoses are locked into the skid steer couplers
before starting the cutter.
To keep contaminants from entering the hydraulic system; wipe o any
dirt or dust from the male or female hydraulic at face couplers with a
clean rag before attaching hoses.
3.4 Connecting Electrical Harness
Connect the electrical attachment harness from the swing boom cutter to the
electrical bulkhead connector mounted on the skid steer loader arm. A universal, 7,
8, or 14 pin pigtail harness adapter is available to make this connection. See Electrical
Drawings, on page 47 for more information.

3.5 Paddle Controller Installation
To avoid unwanted attachment movement that may result in serious injury, remove
paddle controller from lap when exiting the skid steer loader.
Do not connect the controller directly to the skid steer’s battery or other source that
is energized all the time. You could be killed or severely injured if a control switch is
accidently bumped while exiting the skid steer cab.
The paddle controller must connect to the skid steer’s operator presence system to
avoid serious injury or death. This system will disconnect power to the attachment
when the operator restraint bar is raised or when the operator rises from the seat.
If your skid steer does not have an auxiliary electrical connector, you will use the
paddle controller to control the tilt and swing functions of the swing boom cutter.
To prevent possible equipment damage, it is recommended the paddle controller
be installed by a qualied technician who is familiar with your skid steer’s electrical
system.
1. Place the paddle controller on the seat inside the skid steer cab and route the power
source cable that extends from the left side of the paddle controller to a point where
the red wire with fuse can be connected to the skid steer’s operator presence system,
and the black wire connected to the skid steer’s grounding system.
2. Route the control cable that extends from the right side of the controller box through
the cab and up to the back of the loader pivot arm, then down the arm to a point near
the hydraulic couplers. Note: Secure this cable using plastic cable ties along the inside
of the loader arm to prevent cable from being snagged by tree branches or other
debris.
3. Check that the cable is free of tension when raising and lowering the skid steer arms.
4. Route the Velcro lap strap through the metal brackets at the bottom of the paddle
controller, then secure paddle controller to your leg.
To Install Paddle Controller:
