• Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.
• Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the
spark plug, to prevent accidental starting the engine when setting up, transporting,
adjusting or making repairs.
• Keep all shields and guards in place.
• Understand the speed, steering and stability of this machine. Know the positions and
operations of all controls before you operate this machine. Check all of the controls in
a safe area before starting to work with this machine.
• Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate this
machine. Never allow children to operate this machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. that can be picked up and
thrown by the blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the cutters
discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters the
cutting area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Keep children
under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
•No riders!
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
• Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and during backing.

• Turn off the blades when not cutting. Before leaving the machine, turn off the blades
and stop the engine.
• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
• Do not operate the cutter if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if the

OPERATING YOUR TRAILCUTTER
The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in severe eye
damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting
any cutting machine and while operating such a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is
recommended.
CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
INTENDED USE
The 52” Rugged Cut Trailcutter is designed to clear dense areas of grass and cut saplings
up to 2-1/2 inch thick on meadows and small estates. It is not intended to create a finish
cut on lawns.Your Trailcutter should be towed behind an ATV, golf cart, lawn tractor or
other approved vehicle. It is not recommended for speeds exceeding 5 MPH.
ATTACHING TRAILCUTTER TO TOW VEHICLE
• Back vehicle up to desired towing position. (Tow bar may be attached to
center location or either side)
• Attach 2” ball coupler to vehicle with corresponding ball.
TRANSPORTING CUTTER
• Stop Trailcutter.
• When transporting unattached from tow vehicle, remove spark plug wire and
place it where it cannot contact the spark plug.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set
• Disengage cutting Blades
• Reduce engine to idle speed and allow engine to run momentarily for cooling
• Turn the key to the off position

6
ENGAGING BLADES
Note: Do not attempt to start the unit with the engage switch console in the ‘’ ENGAGED ’’ position.
• Engage blades by pulling out on the PTO switch.
• Push PTO switch in to disengage blades. See detail on page 16 figure – 8
•The braking system is applied when the blades become disengaged. It is designed to bring the blades
to a quick stop ( approximately 7 seconds. ) The electric clutch comes with an internal brake.
BREAKING IN YOUR CUTTER
• Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• While the engine is running, engage blade control.
• In a safe environment, (i.e. no children or pets) allow blades to rotate and engine to
idle for 5 minutes, breaking in the belt for a longer life.
• Stop cutter.
CAUTION: SHUT OFF THE CUTTER ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK
PLUG WIRE FROM SPARK PLUG BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CUTTER.
STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used.
• Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are
disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.
• Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.
• Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris.
• Set engine idle to “CHOKE” position.
• (12V models only) Turn key to the “RUN” position, then to the “START” position.
• Set engine idle at maximum RPM for best performance.
• Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.

7
CUTTER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• There is approximately 3 inches of height adjustment.
• Dense areas of material should be cut twice.]
STARTING TO CUT
• Adjust the cutting height to desired height.
• Double check vehicle connection to cutter attachment.
• Start mower engine and set throttle to “FAST” for best cutting performance.
• Carefully mount tow vehicle and start mowing at a slow travel speed.
STOPPING THE CUTTING SESSION
• Bring tow vehicle to a complete stop, set the parking brake and disengage blades.
• Turn key switch to the “OFF” position.
• Always remember to remove keys to avoid irresponsible usage.
SUGGESTED CUTTING PRACTICES
• Operate cutter engine at full throttle to assure the best cutting performance and
maximum material discharge.
• Allow wet grass to dry. Wet grass will clump and collect under the mowing deck.
• Cutter should be started with tow vehicle in low gear and increased only as safe
mowing conditions permit. Cutting speed should not exceed 5 MPH.
• Reducing the travel speed will help cut dense growth. This allows the blades the
time necessary to make its initial cut, and regain momentum to continue cutting and
discharging debris properly. The engine may stall if you are mowing too fast!
• Do not attempt to cut areas that the tow vehicle cannot maneuver through and/or
slopes that you do not feel comfortable riding.

• Check blades and belts for wear.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level. (Do this twice to ensure an accurate reading.)
• Check condition of air filter and clean or replace if necessary.
• Check blade operation.
• Check for loose fasteners.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight and cotter pins and retainer springs are secure.
Keep blades sharp. Observe all safety precautions.
