SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT
Do not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use
support material made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any
other material that could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure

booms to ground level or on blocks. Lower booms and attachments to the
ground before leaving the cab or operator’s station.
USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE

injury or death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before
connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s
operator’s manual for detailed instructions on connecting and disconnect-
ing hydraulic hoses or ttings.
• Keep unprotected body parts, such face, eyes and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak.
•If injured by Hydraulic Fluid, seek Medical Attention at once.
• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and use a piece of cardboard or
wood when searching for hydraulic leaks.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT MODIFY MACHINE OR ATTACHMENTS
Modications may weaken the integrity of the attachment and may impair
the function, safety, life and performance of the attachment. When making
repairs, use only the manufacturer’s genuine parts, following authorized
instructions. Other parts may be substandard in t and quality. Never
modify any ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) or FOPS (Falling
Object Protective Structure) equipment or device.
NOTE! ANY MODIFICATIONS MUST BE AUTHORIZED IN WRITING
BY THE MANUFACTURER.
SAFELY MAINTAIN AND REPAIR EQUIPMENT
• Do not wear loose clothing or any accessories that can catch in
moving parts. If you have long hair, cover or secure it so that it does
not become entangled in the equipment.
• Work on a level surface in a well lit area.
• Use properly grounded electrical outlets and tools.
• Use the correct tools for the job at hand. Make sure they are in good
condition for the task required.
• Wear the protective equipment specied by the tool manufacturer.
SAFELY OPERATE EQUIPMENT
Do not operate equipment until you are completely trained by a qualied
operator in how to use the controls, know its capabilities, dimensions and
all safety requirements. See your machine’s manual for instructions.
• Keep all step plates, grab bars, pedals and controls free of dirt, grease, debris
and oil.
• Never allow anyone to be around the equipment when it is operating.
• Do not allow riders on the attachment or the prime mover.
• Do not operate the equipment from anywhere other than the correct operator’s
position.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE
Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear them. When
digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas, water and sewer, as
well as any other hazard you may encounter.
EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
ALONG WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATOR DISEASE.
It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection and if necessary personal
protective equipment during the operation of any attachment that may cause high levels
of dust.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING
Hazardous
fumes/dust can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering or using a torch. Do
all work outside or in a well ventilated area and dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or heating. When sanding or grinding paint, avoid breathing the
dust. Wear an approved respirator. Allow fumes to disperse thoroughly before welding or
heating.
END OF LIFE DISPOSAL
At the completion of the useful life of the unit, drain all fluids and dis-mantle by
separating the different materials (rubber, steel, plastic, etc.). Follow all federal, state
and local regulations for recycling and disposal of the fluid and components.
OPERATING THE ATTACHMENT
• Block off work area from bystanders, livestock, etc. Falling trees or branches
can cause severe injury or death.
•Let others know when and where you will be working. Make sure no one is
behind the equipment or for several hundred feet in any direction around the
equipment when in operation. Never allow anyone to approach the rotary cutter
when in operation.
•Due to the potential danger of flying debris, it is the owner’s responsibility and
is “ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY that an IMPACT-RESISTANT,
SHATTERPROOF 1/2" THICK POLYCARBONATE FRONT CAB
DOOR” be installed on the machine to protect the operator.
•Operate only from the operator’s station.
•Do not exceed rated operating capacity of the prime mover.
•Be sure all covers are properly installed before operating unit.
•Do not lift loads in excess of the capacity of the prime mover. Lifting capacity
decreases as the load is moved further away from the unit.
• Never try to board or exit equipment while it is running.
•Test all controls before you begin operation.
