Using the Eterra EX - 30 Micro Flail Mower is easy. First, make sure your mini excavator meets the weight and flow rate requirements, which are between 2200 lbs. to 7000 lbs. and 8 - 26 GPM respectively. Attach the mower to your excavator using the universal coupler. When starting, check that the hydraulic hoses are properly connected and the flat - faced couplers are secure. For cutting, adjust the height of the mower according to your needs. It can cut down to 1.5' off the ground. As you operate, it's designed to handle medium - hard brush, grass, and brambles up to 4” thick. Be aware that while it's made of strong A572 Grade 50 steel and has AR500 skid shoes to protect the frame, avoid hitting extremely hard objects like large rocks. This could damage the blades or the mower itself. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the 16 1lb Y - Knife blades. They are replaceable, so if you notice any signs of wear, change them promptly. Keep an eye on the hydraulic system, including the Permco gear drive motor. Make sure the pressure doesn't exceed 3500 PSI. Also, clean the mower after each use to prevent debris buildup, especially in the curved housing. Store the mower in a dry place to avoid rusting. With these simple steps, your mower will serve you well for a long time.
