•

The Rotary Cutting Head is rated to cut 
vegetation up to 5” in diameter.

•

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 
animals with a 100 yards. Debri tends to fly out at great speed and can injure or even cause death. 

•

The Grass Flail head is rated for cutting grass 
only.  

•

The Grass Flail operates attached to the boom 
arm, and is ideal for cutting hard to reach 
areas where a smooth cut is required.

•

Cutting height ranges from 3/4” to 4” in 
vegetation.  Cutting height is set by adjusting 
the height of the roller assembly.

•

When operating near the ground or when 
mulching be particularly careful that there are 
no bystanders or animals with a 100 yards. 
Debri tends to fly out at great speed and can 
injure or even cause death.
