GRIZZLY 52 01/05
Reversing the direction of rotation of the cutting head on side opening machines increases the chances of
objects being thrown out because of the position of the "gate" in relation to the boom arm.
When clearing brush and small trees, start at the top and then lower the head down through the brush while
sweeping from right to left. This avoids clogging the head with mulched material.
NOTE: Keep the cutting head titled away from the operator when it is raised to avoid throwing splinters
towards the cab.
WARNING! Engage the cutting head with the tractor engine at idle. If the cutter is engaged at high rpm,
severe damage to the coupling could occur.
Always disengage the Grizzly before leaving the machine. Place the Control Valve in the OFF position and
disengage the power take-off. Shut off the engine. A preventor or locking device must be installed on the
control valve handle to prevent inadvertent or accidental engagement when the operator is out of the cab.
