WARNING
Carbon Monoxide. A running engine gives
o
ff carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that can kill you. Do not operate the
engine in an enclosed area. Only operate
in a well ventilated area.
Operating the Brush Mower
Before operating this attachment make sure you are
familiar and comfortable with the tractor controls and
operation and have read the tractor owner’s manual.
Make sure there are no bystanders in the area. Flying
d
ebris could cause serious injury.
It is recommended to first drive around in a clear level
area to become familiar with the operation and feel of
the machine without the blades engaged. This machine
is heavy and will effect maneuvering at different
speeds.
The correct ground speed for cutting depends on the
terrain conditions and material density. Traveling too
fast can cause a loss of control and poor cutting
performance.
Always be aware of your surroundings while operating
the cutter. If operating near trees or tall brush be
mindful of overhead dangers such as dead limbs falling
on to the operator. Avoid areas where falling debris is a
danger.
This brush cutter is capable of cutting down trees up to
3 inches in diameter. Make sure you know which way
trees will fall so they do not fall on top of you!
Inspect the area to be cut for utilities, rocks, fences,
f
ence posts or any other objects you do not intend to
cut or it could cause damage to the brush mower.
Before approaching the area to be cut, engage the
blades and make sure they are up to cutting speed.
It is best to engage the PTO drive in areas that have
been cut already or do not contain tall grasses and
weeds. Shut off the ignition and remove the spark plug
wires before clearing debris wrapped on the PTO shaft.
Do not operate until the debris has been removed to
prevent damage to the shaft.
If the blade speed slows down while cutting, slow down
your travel speed and allow the blades to regain the
proper rotating speed.
Starting
Before starting the tractor, be sure the area is clear
of any people or animals.
Control handles must be in the neutral lockout
position.
PTO switch must be in the disengaged
position (pushed down).
Turn ignition key until engine starts. If the
engine struggles to start, engage the choke
until the engine fires, then disengage the
choke before operating.
Once started, increase the engine RPM to desired
s
peed.

NOTES
ӣ
Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn
mowers from his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He
installed a gearbox on his family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying
one end of a rope to the mower and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard
the mower circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric
circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while his invention did all the work.
Max had designed his first self-propelled rotary lawn mower to do his dirty work for
him. Neighbors noticed his new invention and began asking him to make more.
Today, over 70 years later, Swisher is still producing innovative lawn and garden and
ATV/UTV equipment designed to give us all more “relaxing in the shade” time.
Swisher products have been featured nationally on television programs such as
Regis and Kathie Lee and seen in publications like ATV Magazine
, Country Journal,
Popular Mechanics Magazine and others. In January 2000 Popular Mechanics
Magazine named Max’s zero turning radius riding mower one of the 20
th
century’s top
household inventions.
Swisher offers value and function in its products to meet your grounds maintenance
needs.
