Hurricane Track MACHINE OPERATION
24
• Release the swing brake by pressing the
switch down and test cutter wheel swing
controls for proper operation. DO NOT
ALLOW ANYONE TO BE NEAR THE
MACHINE WHEN THE SWING IS
BEING OPERATED. THE ENTIRE
MACHINE UPPER FRAME ROTATES
WHEN THE SWING IS OPERATED.
• The cutter head should be moved back
and forth in a smooth, flowing manner.
The radio control is a proportional
controller meaning that the amount of
pressure applied to the control
determines the speed of the function.
Understanding how the radio control
works will enable the operator to
develop a technique of smooth operation
for the cutter head swing, read the radio
control manual supplied in this manual.
• The Head (LOW/CREEP) switch will
reduce the power to the cutter head
swing function. The middle position of
the switch is HIGH or full power. Push
the switch up to reduce cutter head speed
slightly or push the switch to creep for
the slowest cutter head speed. Use this
switch with the swing speed knob to
fine-tune the swing speed of the cutter
head.
• If jerking, bouncing, or significant drops
in engine speed occur, swing rate is to
rapid and must be decreased. Use these
switches to get a smooth back and forth
cutting action.
• Lower the spinning cutter wheel to
stump and make a few light passes at
stump to get a feel for the cutting action.
• Gradually increase cutting action and
work away at stump by swinging cutter
wheel left-to-right-to-left through stump
in a sideways motion. Smooth,
effortless cutting lengthens machine life,
minimizes downtime, and is more
profitable in the long run.
