INTRODUCTION

We are pleased to have you as a Bush Hog customer. Your Rotary Cutter has been carefully designed with

care and built with quality materials by skilled workers to give maximum service with minimum down time. This

manual is provided to give you the necessary operating and maintenance instructions for keeping your rotary

cutter in top operating condition. Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime

losses. Please read this manual thoroughly. Understand what each control is for and how to use it.

Bush Hog typically offers three types of shielding to protect the operator, passerby, livestock, and property from

thrown objects... deflectors, single chain guards, and double chain guards. Shielding should be selected based

on the intended use of the mower. Double chain guards or deflectors should be used for highway, right-of-way,

parks or greenbelt mowing or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within

300 feet of the mower. Chain guards are more durable, provide a longer service life and require less

maintenance and replacement than deflectors. Single chain guards may be sufficient for agriculture and other

mower use only where passersby or property are not within 300 feet of the mower during operation.

No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. The possibility of injury and property damage from

this hazard can be substantially reduce by selecting proper shielding, maintaining the mower and shielding in

good operational condition, inspecting the area for foreign debris before mowing, operating the mower at a

minimum cutting height of 4", and keep unprotected persons at a minimum distance of 300 feet from the

mower at all times during operation.

Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. Observe all safety precaution

decals on the machine and noted throughout the manual for safe operation of implement. If any assistance or

additional information is needed, contact your authorized Bush Hog dealer. The owner/operator/dealer should

know and understand the Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this

cutter during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen

below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced
