The type of brush being cut and the ground
conditions will determine the best ground speed and
cutting procedure. The brush mower is designed to
cut short or tall grass, brush and small trees.
IMPORTANT: Before operating the attachment,
perform the service schedule for routine
maintenance.
1. Inspect the cutting area for obstructions such as
stumps, wire, rocks, electrical lines, debris, drop
offs, holes, etc. Remove obstructions from the
cutting area that might be picked up and thrown.
2. With the operator in the seat of the loader, the
seat belt fastened and the seat bar lowered (if so
equipped), start the engine.
To improve stability, always
carry attachment low to the ground while
driving.
3. Activate the auxiliary hydraulic system to start
the blade rotation. Make sure auxiliary hydraulic
circuit is operating in the correct direction.
IMPORTANT: Engine must be at idle speed
when engaging auxiliary hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT: This mower is designed to
operate from 30 to 42 gpm. Operating at higher
flow rates can cause serious damage to the
mower and will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the brush mower if
excessive vibration is present. Serious damage
can occur. Check blades and gearbox.
NOTE: Certain loaders may not operate in high
flow mode without special wire harnesses.
Others require the control switches to be
operated in a specific way. It may also be
necessary to switch the hose couplers around to
match your loader. (See loader’s operator’s
manual)
4. With the loader boom lowered all the way
and the auxiliary hydraulics engaged, slowly
rotate the loader coupler forward until the
skid plates are parallel to the ground.
NOTE: It may be helpful in certain instances
to keep the front of the mower raised slightly.
5. If desired, the loader lift arms can be put in
the float position. (See loader’s operator’s
manual.)
6. Drive the loader forward into the work area.
NOTE: Raising the front of the brush mower a
few inches may help while driving forward into
thick brush and when turning.
