6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
SLASHING OPERATING.
FAILURE TO OBEY THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER! ROTATING BLADE HAZARD, STAY BACK LOOSE OBJECT CAN BE DISCHARGED!
NEVER LIFT THIS PRODUCT:
• More than 500mm off the ground whilst blades are spinning OR to a height where visibility is obstructed, which ever is lower.
• DO NOT raise the Slasher in a vertical position whilst the blades are spinning.
• The Slasher is not designed to be used as a hedge trimming tool.
SLASHER OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Digga Slasher is perfect for cutting tall grass and brush. The Slasher attaches to the toolbar/quick attach mechanism for your loader or quick
hitch of your excavator (depending upon which version you ordered). Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the loader or excavator
control is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your loader or excavator’s operator’s manual before attempting to use
the Slasher.
OPERATING TIPS
• Increase the life of your bidirectional blades by cutting brush in one direction and cutting grass and smaller vegetation in another
(This will keep the blades sharp for cutting grass).
• If your preferred direction of blade rotation is not set up correctly for your loader “default”, the hoses may be reversed at the loader end.

13
6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING OPERATION
1. Raise the back of the unit off the ground approx. 100mm to allow the material to clear from under the cutter deck as you travel forward.
2. Place the front skid shoe 25mm-50mm off the ground. This is the preferred position for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.
CUTTING LARGE BRUSH
1. When cutting large brush, tilt the front of the Slasher up 300-600mm (1-2ft.).
2. Slowly drive into the bush and use the tilt function of the loader to bend/push the brush over. As the brush bends the blades will cut it off.
3. The brush can now be mulched by driving the loader forward several feet and then reversing back, hence mulching any brush which may not
have been mulched on the forward movement.
4. Repeat if necessary.
3. Conrm the bystanders are at least a minimum safe distance of 15m (50ft) from the equipment.
4. Start Engine.
5. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulic valve to power the Slasher is disengaged and that the engine is at idle.
6. Engage the auxiliary hydraulic valve. Increased the engine speed to the desired speed.
7. Proceed to commence slashing and comply with all safety procedures.
CAUTION: NEVER DRIVE YOUR LOADER WITH THE FRONT OF THE SLASHER TO THE POINT THAT YOUR VIEW
IS OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE CUTTING.
CAUTION: CHECK THE WORK AREA. NEVER OPERATE THE CUTTER IN POPULATED AREAS WHERE THROWN
OBJECTS COULD INJURE PERSONS OR DAMAGE PROPERTY.
CAUTION: NEVER RAISE THE SLASHER AND EXPOSE YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE TO THE ROTATING
BLADES. IF YOU CAN SEE THE BLADES, THEN THE BACK OF THE UNIT IS RAISED TOO HIGH.
CAUTION: NEVER RAISE THE SLASHER AND EXPOSE YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE TO THE ROTATING
BLADES. IF YOU CAN SEE THE BLADES, THEN THE BACK OF THE UNIT IS RAISED TOO HIGH.
CAUTION: ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE CHAINS ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS AND THAT THE
SAFETY WIRE IS FIRMLY ATTACHED. NEVER REMOVE THE CHAINS FROM THE SLASHER. FAILURE TO
OBEY THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY.

4. Roll the attachment mechanism forward and slowly back up until the attachment is free from the machine.
5. Remove and store the attachment in a dry and protected place. Leaving the Slasha outside will materially shorten its life.
WHEN ATTACHMENTS NOT ON PARENT MACHINE:
It is a requirement of the Australian Work place Health and Safety act 1995 that safe systems of work are employed when handling any
attachments. Complete compliance with Workplace Health and Safety issues is compulsory and all due care and attention must be observed at
all times in any method of moving, transporting or storing any such device when not attached to a parent machine. We recommend attachments
are well secured when being moved or in transit and furthermore prior to moving, storing, loading/unloading or parking it is suggested that the
attachment is strapped/secured to a pallet or enclosed in a suitable container to minimise any movement or loss of the load during such activity.
NO responsibility for loss or damage to persons or property in any regard can be attributed to Digga.
TRANSPORTING THE ATTACHMENT
1. Follow all federal, state and local regulations when transporting the unit on public roads.
2. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine onto a vehicle. Disconnect hydraulic couplers during transportation.
CAUTION: IF THE SLASHA IS TO BE LIFTED ONTO A VEHICLE, USE THE LIFTING LUGS PROVIDED ON

8 MAINTENANCE
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING ANY SLASHA
MAINTENANCE.
WARNING!
BEFORE FIRST USE
Inspect the attachment for shipping damage. If damage does exist, do not operate until the damaged parts have been replaced or repaired.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Make sure that all nuts and bolts are in place and properly tightened.
• Make sure that all other fasteners are in place and are performing their specied function.
• Make sure that all hydraulic ttings are tightened and that there are no leaks in any ttings or hoses.
• Make sure that all safety signs are in place, are clean, and are legible. (SEE THE SAFETY SIGN SECTION)
• Replace any damaged parts and excessively worn parts.
• Grease all lubrication points.
• Check your fold back cutting blades for wear and replace as needed.
• Ensure chains are in good working condition and that tie wires and binding chains are intact and secure. Never remove chains from Slasher
Escaping uid under pressure can have
sufcient force to penetrate the skin causing
serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use
a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands to search for suspected leaks.
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face,
eyes, and arms as far away as possible
from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with
hydraulic uid may develop gangrene or other
permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected uid, see
a doctor at once. If your doctor
is not familiar with this type of
injury, ask him to research it
immediately to determine
proper treatment.
