OPERA
TION
When cutting trees and brush approach material
to be cut with the head perpendicular to material.
The cutting edge of the blades should be the
only elements in contact with material. The blade
bar should not contact with material. The mower
head and blades should be moved
perpendicularly into the material rather lowering
the mower head on top of material. If the blade
bar edges are gouged or rounded from wear, the
mower head is being used incorrectly in an
abusive manner. The blade bar is not intended to
cut material or to be a wear item like the blades.
Do Not allow the blades or blade bar to contact
the ground, rocks or solid objects. Contact with
the ground can result in rocks and solid objects
being thrown out from under the mower head
which can cause serious injuries to the operator
and bystanders. This type of operation can lead
to bent or broken blade bars, broken blade bolts
and broken blade bar assembly bolts which can
be dangerous to the operator and bystanders.

9.6 50” Boom Flail
The 50’ boom flail mower was designed for cutting
brush and foliage up to 3 inches in diameter or
multiple branches that have a total cross section
area equivalent to one 3 inch branch. Cutting
multiple limbs at the same time may overload the
mower causing it to slow down or stall completely.
Regardless of the size of material being cut, the
cutter shaft speed must be maintained. To ensure
that the cutter shaft is running at maximum speed,
run the tractor at full throttle during mowing
operations. If the cutter shaft slows to the point that
the knives are folding back, move the mower head
away from the foliage and allow the cutter shaft to
regain full speed.
Operating the mower in a manner that allows the knives to continually fold back or allowing
knive lugs to contact foliage will cause permanent damage to the cutter shaft drum, knives, and
knife attachment parts.
The 50” boom flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same rotation as the tractor
wheels during forward travel). Never operate the cutter shaft in reverse rotation. Operating
this mower in reverse rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower head.
The 50” boom flail equipped with free swinging brush knives is intended for brush cutting only.
Cutting grass is not recommended.
