4 Always wear safety goggles or glasses when working on equipment.

5. Use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts. Other parts may be substandard in fit and quality.

WARNING! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate

the skin causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather that hands to search for suspected leaks.

Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.

If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The following instructions will help you to mount your rotary cutter onto your skid-steer loader. The rotary cutter uses the quick-attach system for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know how to attach your loader bucket, attaching the rotary cutter should prove no problem. Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before operating the attachment. If there is any portion of this manual that you do not understand, contact your dealer.

DANGER! TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH THE BRAD-

CO ROTARY CUTTER MUST NOT BE ATTACHED TO ANY POWER UNIT THAT DOES NOT HAVE A SHATTERPROOF DOOR (OR FRONT SHIELD) INSTALLED.

WARNING! OPERATING THE STANDARD FLOW ROTARY CUTTER ON A HIGH

FLOW HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS DUE TO THE INCREASED RPM. DO NOT OPERATE THE STANDARD FLOW ROTARY CUTTERS ON HIGH FLOW HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before attaching the rotary cutter to your skid-steer loader, make sure a shatterproof door (or front shield) has been installed onto the front of your skid-steer loader. This is required to protect the operator from possible thrown objects.

1. Remove the shipping banding from around the rotary cutter and skid.

2. Remove any attachments from the front of the loader.

3. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment in your skid-steer operator's manual, install the rotary cutter onto your skid-steer.

NOTE: It is important to make sure the locking mechanism on your quick attach is engaged, therefore locking the attachment onto the skid-steer.

4. Connect the Lift Limiting Chain to your skid-steer. The back of the rotary cutter should never be more than 1 foot off the ground for proper and safe cutting. (Raise the unit to 1 foot above ground level. Route the end of the Lift Limiting Chain through the "D" ring on the back of the rotary cutter and then through the tie down mechanism(s) on the front of your skid-steer loader. Tie the chain securely back to itself with the shackle provided, to limit the lifting capabilities of the cutter to 1 foot maximum.)

5. Lower the unit to the ground and remove the key.

6. After making sure that there is not any foreign matter on the hydraulic couplers, connect the couplers to the auxiliary hydraulic system of your skid-steer loader.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the BRADCO standard ow rotary cutter on High Flow Hydraulic systems. Doing so will void the standard ow rotary cutter warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ROTARY CUTTER

GENERAL INFORMATION

The BRADCO rotary cutter is perfect for cutting tall grass and brush up to 4" in diameter. The rotary cutter attaches to the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your skid-steer loader. Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid-steer controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your skidsteer operator's manual for information regarding skid-steer operation before attempting to use the rotary cutter. Follow all installation instructions in Section F for the proper installation of the unit onto your skid-steer before attempting to operate your rotary cutter.

OPERATING TIPS

• Increase the life of your bi-directional blades by cutting brush in one direction and cutting grass and smaller vegetation in the other. (This will keep the blades sharp for cutting grass.)

• If your preferred direction of blade rotation is not set up correctly for your skid-steers "detent", the hydraulic hoses may be reversed at the motor end.

• Continuous rotation of the blades is required during operation to prevent overheating of the hydraulic system. The rotary cutter is equipped with a blade rotation indicator disk to assist in monitoring blade rotation. If the rotary cutter stalls, disengage auxiliary hydraulics, and remove cutter from debris before restarting.

• Engage and disengage the hydraulic system with the skid-steer at idle.

WARNING! Before leaving the operator's seat: Lower the lift arms against

frame and place unit on the ground. Disengage auxiliary hydraulics. Stop Engine. Engage parking brake. Remove the key.

DANGER! ROTATING BLADE HAZARD! STAY BACK! OBJECTS CAN BE THROWN! DO NOT operate near bystanders. DO NOT place hands or feet under deck while in operation or

with engine running.

DO NOT operate without a shatterproof door (or front shield)

installed on loader.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ROTARY CUTTER

CUTTING OPERATION

1. Raise the back of the unit off of the ground approximately 4" to allow the material to clear from under the cutting deck as you travel forward.

2. Place the front skid shoes 1-2 inches off the ground. This is the preferred position for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.

• Never drive your skid-steer with the front of the rotary cutter tilted to the point your view is obstructed. Always make sure you can see what you are cutting.

• Check the work area. Never operate the rotary cutter in populated areas where thrown objects could injure persons or damage property.

• Never raise the unit and expose yourself or anyone else to the rotating blades. If you can see the blades then the back of the unit is raised too high.

3. Activate the auxiliary hydraulics with the engine at idle. Increase engine speed.

4. Be sure the rotary cutter is operating smoothly and at full speed, and then start forward travel while monitoring blade rotation.

NOTE: The rotary cutter has a window in the motor cover shield so the operator can see the blade rotation indicator disk. This disk should always be rotating during operation to prevent a drop in hydraulic pressure or overheating of the hydraulic system.

CUTTING LARGE BRUSH UP TO 3-4" IN DIAMETER:

When cutting large brush, roll the front of the rotary cutter up 1-2 feet. DO

NOT LIFT THE BACK OF THE CUTTER! Slowly drive into the tree and use the hydraulic tilt function on the skid-steer to bend or push the tree over. As the tree bends, the blades will cut it off. The tree can now be mulched by rotating the front up, drive forward several feet, roll the front down onto the tree and backdrag. Repeat, if necessary. Remember do not lift the back of the cutter.

AVOID STALLING ROTARY CUTTER: Continuous rotation is required to prevent overheating of the hydraulic system. The rotary cutter is equipped with a blade rotation indicator disk to assist in monitoring blade rotation. If the rotary cutter stalls, see "TO RESTART BLADE ROTATION".

TO RESTART BLADE ROTATION: Return engine speed to idle and disengage auxiliary hydraulics. Remove rotary cutter from debris. Engage auxiliary hydraulics to start blade rotation. (Be sure the rotary cutter is operating smoothly and at full speed, and then start forward travel while monitoring blade rotation.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ROTARY CUTTER

REPEATED STALLING OF ROTATING BLADES: Return engine speed to idle and disengage auxiliary hydraulics. Remove rotary cutter from debris. Review operating conditions and the size/density of material being cut. Make necessary corrections. Engage auxiliary hydraulics to start blade rotation. (Be sure the rotary cutter is operating smoothly and at full speed, and then start forward travel while monitoring blade rotation.)

TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATING CONDITIONS:

Below are listed a few operating conditions that may cause repeated

stalling of your rotary cutter, and suggestions on how to correct them. GRASS TOO LONG OR THICK: If cutting heavy vegetation, you may need to slow

travel speed or make smaller passes (less than full cut) to prevent overloading and stalling the unit.

BRUSH TOO BIG IN DIAMETER: The rotary cutter is NOT designed to cut trees larger than 3-4" in diameter. If brush is smaller than 3-4" in diameter and the cutter is stalling, check sharpness of the blades (see "Maintenance" Section L) and cut using the procedure described earlier in this section for "Cutting Large Brush".

BRUSH TOO THICK OR HEAVY: If cutting heavy or thick brush, you may need to slow travel speed or make smaller passes (less than full cut), to prevent overloading. If the blades seem to be unable to handle the volume of brush, slow down the travel speed until the unit reaches full speed before proceeding.

SCALPING THE GROUND or BOTTOMING OUT: Be aware of changes in the terrain. Stay alert for drop-off and holes. Check the terrain and the deck position before restarting and continuing cutting.

STRIKING FOREIGN OBJECTS: Stay alert for rocks, fencing, abandoned wells, septic tanks or other foreign objects. If the rotary cutter comes into contact with a foreign object, stop the unit, shut off the engine and disconnect the hydraulic couplers from the skid-steer. Inspect the unit and repair any damage before restarting and continuing cutting. (Never try to weld or straighten damaged blades.) Inspect the work area for any other items, and if they are too large to be removed from the area, they should be flagged clearly.

LUBRICATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

Economical and efficient operation of any machine is dependent upon

regular and proper lubrication of all moving parts with a quality lubricant. Neglect leads to reduced efficiency, wear, breakdown, and needless replacement of parts.

WEEKLY

The oil level in the gear box should be checked once a week. Fill as

necessary with 80-90 weight gear lubricant.

TO CHECK:

Remove pipe plug from end of gearbox. Lubricant should be at the same

level as the plug.

TO ADD:

Remove pipe plug from end of gearbox. Remove filler plug from top end of

gearbox and add 80-90 weight gear lubricant up to the same level as the pipe plug. Replace pipe plug and filler plug.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL, AS TOO MUCH LUBRICANT MAY RUPTURE THE GEAR BOX SEALS.

MAINTENANCE

ROTARY CUTTERS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However, it is very important that these maintenance functions be performed as described below.

WARNING! Avoid serious injury. Lower the rotary cutter to the ground, set the

parking brake, stop the skid-steer engine, and remove the key before leaving the operator's seat. If unit must be left raised for maintenance, block the unit securely to prevent accidental release of the lifting mechanism. Disconnect the hydraulic couplers.

DAILY

• Check skid-steer loader hydraulic system to ensure an adequate level of hydraulic oil.

• Check gearbox castle nut and torque to min. 250 - max 350 ft. lbs.

• Check mounting hardware on blades and torque to 450 ft. lbs.

• Check all other hardware and tighten, if necessary. See Section O.

• Check hydraulic system for hydraulic oil leaks.

• Check gearbox power shaft for foreign material wrapped around the shaft and re-

move, if necessary.

• Check blades for damage and replace or sharpen as needed.

• Check all safety guards and ensure that all devices are installed correctly.

• Check for missing or illegible Safety / Warning Decals.

WARNING! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the

skin, causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.

Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.

If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The following is a list of areas that should be inspected by the dealer prior to delivery of the Rotary Cutter to the customer.

parts. Check for any other irregularities.

2. ______ Check and lubricate, if necessary. See "Lubrication" Section H.

3. ______ Check bolts for tightness. Retighten after the first four working hours,

and after every eight working hour intervals thereafter. See "Bolt Torque", Section O.

5. ______ Make sure decals are not damaged or missing and are in their cor-

rect location. See "Decals" Section Q.
