SAFETY
Keep the machine clear of debris and other accumula-
tions.
Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge
area. This may prevent proper discharge and can result in
kickback of material through the feed opening.
Shut off machine immediately if the machine becomes
clogged, the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object,
or the machine starts vibrating or making
an unusual noise. Shut off the skid steer,
disconnect the hydraulics, remove the
ignition key and make sure all moving
parts have come to a complete stop. After
machine stops:
Inspect for damage.
Replace or repair any damaged
parts.
Check for and tighten any loose parts.
On electric start models, disconnect cables from battery
before doing any inspection or service.
Check blade bolts for proper torque after every 8 hours of
operation. Check blades and rotate or resharpen daily or as
required to keep blades sharp. Failure to do so may cause
poor performance, damage or personal injury and will void
the machine warranty.
