Do not allow knives to cut down to the ground. Position ground roller to maintain knife arc at a
minimum of 2 inches above the ground. Knife contact or lug contact with ground will cause
permanent damage to cutter shaft, knives, and knife attachment parts.
9.7 63” Boom Flail
The 63” boom flail mower was designed for cutting
grass. The cutter shaft speed must be maintained
for proper cutting. To insure that the cutter shaft is
rotating at maximum speed, run tractor at full
throttle during mowing operations. If cutter shaft
slows to the point that the knives are folding back
against the cutter shaft, move the mower head
away from the foliage and allow the cutter shaft to
regain full speed.
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use.
However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard
rails and concrete structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown
outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious
injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.
(SGM-4)
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not
limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox
Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should
be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be
inspected carefully at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken,
or worn items must be replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death
from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact.
(SGM-3)
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
