The cutter is designed to cut vegetative material up to 6” in diameter. The tractor and cutter can be operated by
driving across growth that a properly rated tractor can safely pass over. This includes grass, brush, small trees
and other type of growth up to about 3” in diameter.
To cut larger vegetation (up to 6” maximum diameter), raise the retractable rear guard and slowly back the cutter
into the material. Use extreme care when backing the tractor and cutter. Allow the cutter sufficient time to cut
through the material and maintain the operating speed to prevent overloading the cutter and tractor. Only raise the
retractable rear guard while backing into areas to be cut. The guard must be maintained in the lowered position at
all other times.
10.5 Operating the Cutter
Only mow where you have good visibility and can clearly see the ground and surrounding
area that you are working in. Reduce speed when vision of the area is reduced or if you are
avoiding foreign debris.
DANGER!
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
100 yards in front and to the sides of the Tractor and Mower. Make sure that you can clearly
see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see this type of item discontinue
mowing.

DANGER!
WARNING!
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the Tractor and Mower. Safe
mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of cut.
Normal ground speed range is from 1 to 3 mph. Use slow mowing speeds when operating
on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when
debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
