9.3 Operating the Attached Mower Heads
The boom can attach to and operate multiple heads one at a time for a wide range of vegetation control
applications. The attached heads are designed for different applications. The head should be selected based
on the mowing application and the location that the unit is being operated.
Refer to the Assembly Section of this manual to ensure the head is properly attached to the boom hitch and
hydraulic lines are properly connected. OPS-B- 0010

There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or even
death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the operator,
bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this machine with
anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone is within 100 yards
of mower.

Objects tend to be thrown out from under the
head in the direction of blade rotation and
toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid
cutting with the head tilted at an angle that
objects would be thrown towards the unit
operator position.

•
When clearing brush and small trees, operate
unit at 1 mph ground speed and position cutter
head at an angle that will cut 2’ to 3’ into the
growth. Make the first pass just above ground
level. This will remove the low branches and
allow operator a better view of the material to
plan for the next pass. After repeated passes,
each elevated approximatly 4’ above the last, the main trunks of the trees will be exposed and they can be
cut as desired. This avoids clogging the head with cut and mulched material.

Open the hydraulically operated door to allow blades to reach large diameter vegetation. Operate the
mower with the door closed when cutting grass, weeds, and light brush to reduce thrown objects for safer
mower operation.

When operating near the ground or when mulching be particularly careful that there are no bystanders or
