Do not cut, or drive the tractor into, material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot
spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the cutter to areas of vegetation that might
ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and cutter could
ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish possible
fires encountered.
Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid
ground objects while you are operating. Use care to
avoid hitting these items.
10.6 Shutting Down the Cutter
To shut down the cutter, first bring the tractor to a
complete stop. Then slow down the cutter by reducing
the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait
for all rotating motion to stop before proceeding to drive
or shut down the tractor. The momentum created by
the blade carrier weight and lack of resistance resulting
from the over-running clutch result in the blades turning
for an extended period of time after the PTO had been
disengaged.
Park the tractor on a level surface, place the
transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking
brake, lower the attached cutter to the ground, shut
down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
motion to come to a complete stop. Push and pull the
hydraulic remote control lever several times to relieve
hydraulic pressure before exiting the tractor.
