Introduction
Owner Information
Thank you for your decision to purchase a Battle Ax skid loader-mounted
shredder from Loftness. To ensure maximum performance of your machine, it is
mandatory that you thoroughly study the owner’s manual and follow its
recommendations. Proper operation and maintenance are essential to prevent
injury or damage and to maximize machine life.
The Loftness Battle Ax is an effective, reliable machine used for maintaining
grass, weeds, brush and trees.
Efficiently cuts and mulches up to 6″ diameter material.
Intermittently cuts larger diameter material. For best results, operate the
machine as low to the ground as possible without the teeth striking ground or
other obstructions. Lifting or tilting the Battle Ax increases therisk of
flying debris. Because of the high speed of the teeth, the life of the teeth
will be reduced if it is operated in rocky terrain or in areas where many
obstacles are present. Areas to be mowed should be free of debris such as
rocks, bottles, large branches etc. The teeth cut and pulverize the grass,
weeds and brush. The Battle Ax deposits cut material over the entire width-of
cut, which eliminates bunching or windrowing behind the machine.
Operate and maintain this machine in a safe manner and in accordance with all
applicable local, state, and federal codes, regulations and/or laws, and in
compliance with on-product labeling and these instructions.
Make sure that all personnel have read this owner’s manual and thoroughly
understand safe and correct operating, installation and maintenance
procedures.
Continuous improvement and advancement of Loftness products may result in
changes to your equipment that may not be reflected in this publication.
Loftness reserves the right to make product improvements to the machine at any
time. Although great care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of this
publication, Loftness does not assume any liability for errors or omissions.

Set-up Instructions
Pusher Bar Assembly
NOTE: Assembling the pusher bar requires two people or the use of an
approved lifting device to support the push bar as it is being adjusted.
Ensure pusher bar is being safely supported.
Loosen nuts (1 and 2).
Remove nut, bolt, and washer (3) securing the rear arm (4) to the rear of the
frame.
Repeat on other side.
NOTE: When removing the hardware (3) on the left side, remove the shipping support stand (5) and discard.
Move rear arms into position so hole in lower end of rear arm (4) aligns with
the top hole (6) of the side plates (indicated by the shipping tag). Remove
the shipping tag.
NOTE: The pusher bar is factory-set so the upper hole in the rear arm (4)
aligns with hole “A”. If a different pusher bar angle is desired, remove nut
and bolt (2) from their current position while holding on to the rear arm (4).
Once the hardware is removed, let the rear arm rest on pusher bar side
assembly (7).
Repeat procedure on other side.
Raise or lower the pusher bar and align the rear arm (4) with the desired hole
(A ,B, or C) on the pusher bar side assembly.
Reinstall all hardware and tighten (1, 2, and 6) securely.
This must be done on both sides.
Installing the Battle Ax to the Loader
Fully raise the attachment-locking levers on the loader mounting plate.
Tilt the loader mounting plate ahead. Drive forward with the loader and hook
the top edge of the loader mounting plate under the top flange (1) on the
Battle Ax mounting plate. Be careful not to damage the locking levers on the
loader mounting plate.
Tilt the loader mounting plate back until the Battle Ax mounting plate is
firmly against the loader mounting plate, but Do Not lift the attachment off
the ground.
WARNING: Before you leave the operator’s seat: Lower the lift arms, put
the attachment on the ground. Stop engine and remove ignition key. Engage the
parking brake.
Fully lower the attachment-locking levers on the loader mounting plate.
WARNING: Locking-wedge pins must extend through the holes in attachment-
mounting plate. Levers must be fully down in the locked over-center position.
Failure to secure wedge pins can allow attachment to come off, causing serious
injury or death.
NOTE: The hydraulic hose quick couplers shown above are not supplied with
the Battle Ax.
Install the Battle Ax quick couplers to the loader.
NOTE: The case drain quick coupler (1) of the Battle Ax must be connected to
the loader’s auxiliary hydraulic system for proper operation of the Battle Ax.
IMPORTANT: It is the owner’s responsibility to assure that the hydraulic
hoses from the power unit to the attachment are not caught in pinch points, or
in any way damaged by moving parts.
Checking Rotor Rotation
Raise the Battle Ax off the ground and place blocks (1) underneath the skids.
Lower the Battle Ax down on the blocks.
DANGER: Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of belts, sprockets, and
rotor while
Engage the loader auxiliary hydraulics, the rotor should start rotating in
forward direction. The rotation should be counterclockwise as viewed from the
left side of the Battle Ax.
NOTE: If the rotor is rotating backward, reverse the quick couplers (not
supplied) on the Battle Ax hydraulic hoses. Re-install the couplers (not
supplied) on the loader and test for correct rotor rotation.
WARNING: The Battle Ax can be damaged if rotor is operated in reverse
rotation.
Checking Rotor Speed
Remove right side belt cover. Apply a small piece of reflective tape (1) to
the outer edge of the lower sprocket.
Point an electronic (photo) tachometer (2) towards the edge of the sprocket to
check the rotor speed.
NOTE: The tachometer shown is not supplied with the Battle Ax.
Test the rotor RPM with loader engine at full throttle.
DANGER: Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of belts, sprockets, and
rotor while loader is running.
See “Motor & Sprocket Selection Chart” on page 25 for rotor RPM. If it is
outside this recommended range, it may be necessary to disconnect the Battle
Ax and test the hydraulic output of the loader with a flow meter to see if it
corresponds with the factory specifications.
Skid Adjustment
NOTE: The skid(s) can be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance
between the ground and the rotor.
Remove the four nuts (1) and raise or lower the skid to the desired height.
Re-install the four nuts and tighten securely against the skid.
Repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
Cutter Bar Adjustment
NOTE: The cutter bar can be adjusted back or forward to increase or
decrease the distance between the bar and the rotor.
Most operators find the best performance is achieved by adjusting the cutter
bar as close as the slots will allow (approximately a 1/4″ gap from knife to
cutter bar). A wider gap generally increases finished partical size and
horsepower requirements.
WARNING: Shut down and disconnect hydraulic hoses from skid loader before
adjusting the cutter bar.
Loosen the seven bolts with washers (1) securing the cutter bar (2) to the
frame. Move the cutter bar either forward or back making sure the distance
moved is consistent through the entire length of the cutter bar.
Retighten bolts.
Over time, the cutter bar edge will become worn and rounded from use. There
are a total of 4 wear edges available by removing and flipping the bar, side
to side and front to back.
CAUTION: If adjusting the cutter bar after the machine has been used, the
cutter bar should be completely removed to clear any debris away from contact
surfaces before assembly and tightening. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE!.
Operating Instructions
Getting Started
For best results, the areas to be mowed should be free of debris such as
bottles, metal objects, rocks and wire etc. The teeth cut and pulverize the
brush, grass and weeds.
Operate the Battle Ax as low to the ground as possible without the teeth
striking ground or other obstructions.
Because of the high speed of the teeth, the life of the teeth will be reduced
if it is operated in rocky terrain or in areas where many obstacles are
present. The Battle Ax deposits cut material over the entire width-of-cut,
which eliminates bunching or windrowing behind the machine.
WARNING: Due to the potential danger of flying debris, it is the owner’s
responsibility and is “ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY that IMPACT-RESISTANT SHIELDING”
be installed on the machine to protect the operator.
WARNING: Lifting or tilting the Battle Ax increases the risk of flying
debris.
DANGER: Keep hands and feet out! Do not step on or climb over the unit
while machine is in operation, or engine is running. Do not carry passengers.
WARNING: Do not operate the attachment above the rated RPM. Check with
your Loftness dealer to be sure your attachment is set-up with the correct
hydraulic motor to match the hydraulic flow GPM (Gallons Per Minute) of your
machine.
WARNING: Flying debris can gather on the skid-loader and needs to be
cleaned off, especially around the radiator and oil cooler screens, engine
compartment and exhaust areas. Periodic cleaning will help prevent the
possibility of fire.
WARNING: DO NOT allow ANY people or animals within 300 feet of the work
area while operating this machine.
Operation
Tilt attachment mounting frame back and raise the Battle Ax slightly above the
ground when moving the machine.
NOTE: Operate the Battle Ax as low to the ground as possible without the
teeth striking ground or other obstructions.
WARNING: Lifting or tilting the Battle Ax increases the risk of flying
debris.
WARNING: DO NOT allow ANY people or animals within 300 feet of the work
area while operating this machine.
Lower the Battle Ax until the skids contact the ground.
Engage the auxiliary hydraulics. Move the loader and Battle Ax forward and
begin mowing.
NOTE: Various mowing conditions, and desired finished cut appearance,
will determine proper ground speed.
Log Moving
Disengage hydraulic power to rotor before moving logs and brush with pusher
bars.
Raise the loader lift arms and tilt the Battle Ax forward until the push bar
extensions are over the log or item being moved. Lower the lift arms and
position the log between push bar extensions and the Battle Ax. Move the
loader backwards, dragging the log to the desired location.
Hydraulic Hose Storage
When not in use, protect the hose couplers by securing the hydraulic hoses in the storage position on the left side pusher arm.
Maintenance
General Maintenance
To ensure efficient operation, you should inspect, lubricate, and make
necessary adjustments and repairs at regular intervals. Parts that are
starting to show wear should be ordered ahead of time, before a costly
breakdown occurs and you have to wait for replacement parts. Keep good
maintenance records, and adequately clean your Battle Ax after each use.
Proper lubrication is important. Too little lubricant will cause premature
failure of a bearing. Too much lubrication usually causes high operating
temperature and early failure of seals. Follow all lubrication instructions
and schedules included in this section.
