SP5014TRX MACHINE OPERATION
21
Lower 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.
Continue cutting stump by adjusting cutter
wheel progressively lower until stump is cut
well below ground level.
Raise cutter wheel and swing clear of stump
then extend tongue to position machine
closer to stump for next series of passes.
Lower cutter wheel and continue cutting.
Continue in this manner until stump has
been removed.
Larger stumps may require repositioning
machine to work at best advantages.
Raise cutter wheel clear of stump and return
to center position.
Reduce engine speed to idle. DO NOT
TURN MOTOR OFF. Engine must be
allowed to cool slowly at idle for 3 – 5
minutes to avoid damage.
With engine speed at idle; disengage drive
belts by slowly pushing the engagement
lever back toward the cutter wheel. The
engine slide will lock automatically when
belt is disengaged.
DO NOT DISENGAGE DRIVE BELTS
AT A HIGH ENGINE SPEED. Damage
to belts and machine will occur.
Allow cutter wheel to come to a full stop
before inspecting work area.
Turn motor off.
