6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING ANY
SLASHING OPERATING.
FAILURE TO OBEY THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
NEVER LIFT THIS PRODUCT:
• More than 500mm off the ground whilst blades are spinning OR to a height where visibility is obstructed, which ever is lower.
• DO NOT raise the Slasher in a vertical position whilst the blades are spinning.
• The Slasher is not designed to be used as a hedge trimming tool.
SLASHER OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Digga Slasher is perfect for cutting tall grass and brush. The Slasher attaches to the toolbar/quick attach mechanism for your loader or quick
hitch of your excavator (depending upon which version you ordered). Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the loader or excavator
control is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your loader or excavator’s operator’s manual before attempting to use
the Slasher.
OPERATING TIPS
• Increase the life of your bidirectional blades by cutting brush in one direction and cutting grass and smaller vegetation in another
(This will keep the blades sharp for cutting grass).
• If your preferred direction of blade rotation is not set up correctly for your loader “default”, the hoses may be reversed at the loader end.
DANGER! ROTATING BLADE HAZARD, STAY BACK LOOSE OBJECT CAN BE DISCHARGED!
PM-000084-D - Slasher Operators Manual - OCTOBER 2017

6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CUTTING OPERATION
1. Raise the back of the unit off the ground approx. 100mm to allow the material to clear from under the cutter deck as you travel forward.
2. Place the front skid shoe 25mm-50mm off the ground. This is the preferred position for cutting grass and heavy vegetation.
CAUTION: NEVER DRIVE YOUR LOADER WITH THE FRONT OF THE SLASHER TO THE POINT THAT YOUR VIEW
IS OBSTRUCTED. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE CUTTING.
CAUTION: CHECK THE WORK AREA. NEVER OPERATE THE CUTTER IN POPULATED AREAS WHERE THROWN
OBJECTS COULD INJURE PERSONS OR DAMAGE PROPERTY.
CAUTION: NEVER RAISE THE SLASHER 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. Conrm the bystanders are at least a minimum safe distance of 15m (50ft) from the equipment.
4. Start Engine.
5. Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulic valve to power the Slasher is disengaged and that the engine is at idle.
6. Engage the auxiliary hydraulic valve. Increased the engine speed to the desired speed.
7. Proceed to commence slashing and comply with all safety procedures.
CUTTING LARGE BRUSH
1. When cutting large brush, tilt the front of the Slasher up 300-600mm (1-2ft.).
2. Slowly drive into the bush and use the tilt function of the loader to bend/push the brush over. As the brush bends the blades will cut it off.
3. The brush can now be mulched by driving the loader forward several feet and then reversing back, hence mulching any brush which may not
have been mulched on the forward movement.
4. Repeat if necessary.
CAUTION: NEVER RAISE THE SLASHER 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.
