BUSH HOG PT5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Bush Hog PT5s are manufactured with quality material by skilled workers. The implement is designed for
cutting hedges, grass and weeds, around waterways, under fences and other hard-to-reach areas. The
implement is equipped with protective deflectors to prevent objects being thrown from the implement by the
blades, however, no shielding is 100% effective. All shields, guards, and deflectors equipped on the mower
must be maintained in good operational condition.
It is the operator’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of all potential operating hazards and to take every
reasonable precaution to ensure oneself, others, animals, and property are not injured or damaged by the
implement, tractor, or a thrown object. Do not operate the mower if passersby, pets, livestock, or property are
within 100 yards of the unit.
This section of the Operator’s Manual is designed to familiarize, instruct, and educate safe and proper
implement use to the operator. Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to
assist in explaining the operation of a PT5 and are not specific to any model. Some pictures may show shields
removed for picture clarity. NEVER operate implement without all shields in place and in good operational
condition. The operator must be familiar with the mower and tractor and all associated safety practices before
operating the mower and tractor. Proper operation of the mower, as detailed in this manual, will help ensure
years of safe and satisfactory use of the mower.

Torque Chart at the end of the Maintenance Section to ensure bolts are properly tightened.
