Grass Flail
Ö The Grass Flail head is rated for cutting grass only.
Ö The Grass Flail operates attached to the boom
arm, and is ideal for cutting hard to reach areas
where a smooth cut is required.
Ö Cutting height ranges from 3/4” to 4” in vegetation.
Cutting height is set by adjusting the height of the
roller assembly.
Ö When operating near the ground or when mulching
be particularly careful that there are no bystanders
or animals with a 100 yards. Debris tends to fly out
at great speed and can injure or even cause death.
DANGER!
The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, the
blades could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete
structures. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high
velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never
allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles. (SGM-4)
Roller Height
The roller on the mower head is pre-set in its raised position before the machine leaves the factory. To
minimize flail wear the roller should be set as follows:
A. Grass Cutting - lower roller to its maximum to give highest cut possible.
B. Hedge Trimming - raise roller to its minimum to give lowest cut possible.
C. Ground Level and Scrub Cutting - lower roller to its maximum.
NOTE: The Roller must be kept in position at all times as it is an essential part of the rotor unit guarding.
DANGER!
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not limited to) - the Deflectors,
Steel Guards, Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and Retractable Door Shields should be
used and maintained in good working condition. All safety devices should be inspected carefully
at least daily for missing or broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from thrown objects, entanglement,
or blade contact. (SGM-3)
