Continue in this manner until stump has been
removed.
Larger stumps may require repositioning machine to
remove complete stump.
Raise cutter wheel clear of stump and return to center
position.
Withdraw tongue extension (if equipped).
Pull the holding stake (if equipped) and place in
transport position.
Reduce engine speed to idle and disengage cutter
wheel. DO NOT TURN OFF MOTOR. Engine should
be allowed to cool slowly at idle for 3-5 minutes to
avoid damage.
DO NOT ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE DRIVE BELTS
AT A HIGH ENGINE SPEED. Damage to belts and
machine will occur.
At low engine RPM, the cutter wheel swing speed
control needs to be closed or slowed all the way down
for the cutter head to swing. The direction the control
knob needs to be turned will depend on the type of
controls (manual or electric) and when the machine
was built.
Turn off engine.
Allow cutter wheel to come to a complete stop before
inspecting.
MACHINE OPERATION (cont.)
MACHINE OPERATION
For optimum performance, the stump should be cut with the portion of the cutter wheel shown below. NEVER
UNDERCUT THE STUMP. Undercutting the stump may cause severe kickback, vibration and component
damage. NEVER CUT THE STUMP FROM THE TOP. The cutter wheel will throw debris up and toward the
operator, instead of down and under the machine.
