Operating Instructions

Before starting the BRUSH OX, the operator should:

WARNING! Read and understand Owner’s Manual and all safety

instructions and procedures.


NOTICE! Check oil level in engine and add if needed. See engine Owner’s

Manual for specified oil type.


NOTICE! Check fuel level in fuel tank and fill if needed.

CAUTION! Check complete BRUSH OX for any loose bolts or nuts. Pay

particular attention to the blades and stump jumper. Check blade bolt
tightness every four hours of operation.


NOTICE! Assure that the blades are adequately sharp for the task ahead.
Remember, you would never use a dull axe to chop down a tree.

CAUTION! Assure that all five front flappers function properly.

CAUTION! Assure that the skids are properly fastened and in correct

cutting height position. When the unit is sitting on a hard surface, the skids
should be approximately 1” off the ground. When the front scalper wheels
are in the top position, the skids should be in the middle mounting holes.
When the scalper wheels are in the bottom position, the skids should be in
the top mounting holes.


NOTICE! Check air pressure in drive tires. Tire pressure should be no less than

14 PSI and no greater than 28 PSI. Each tire is filled with 14 ounces of Flat-
Free. Flat-Free can be purchased in quarts (Part # 260-819).

CAUTION! Assure all other safety devices are in place and functioning

properly.

1. Top frame cover plate
2. Front frame closure plate
3. Rear frame closure plate

CAUTION! Walk through the area to be cut and remove any material that

should not come in contact with the cutting blades.

CAUTION! Assure that no bystanders are within 150 feet of the BRUSH

OX at all times.

ear plugs, and eye protection. DO NOT operate if not properly clothed.
