After you have completed the pre-start checklist and procedures, you are ready to start the
grinder.
The following directions detail how to start the engine of your grinder.
WARNING:
Never attempt to use the grinder without proper protective equipment,
particularly eye protection and a full-face shield.
To start the grinder:
Note: For additional engine starting instructions see your Honda/Kohler engine manual.
1) Before starting you should raise or lower the handle bar to a comfortable position to
accommodate the height of the stump you will be grinding.
2) Place stump machine into position with cutting blade near the front-top edge of the stump.
3) Using lever on handle to lock the one wheel brake.
Note: For tighter brake adjustment, turn knob on top of brake lever.
WARNING:
Stay in the OPERATOR POSITION while actuating controls. Never leave grinder unattended.
4) Pull Engine Switch ON. (Some models may have an additional on/off switch located on the
engine)
5) Pull choke if engine is cold. If engine is hot, do not use choke.
6) Grip operator presence bar & grinder handle bar together in left hand.
WARNING:
A rotating cutting blade is very dangerous. Stay at the controls and keep
others away until you are sure the blade has come to a complete stop.
WARNING:
Cutting wheel immediately begins rotating when starter is pulled. There
is no clutch or gear to separately start or stop cutter wheel.
7) Since the cutter wheel starts rotating when starter is activated, press down on handle bar to
lift cutter wheel off the ground.
8) A) Pull Start: Rapidly pull “Start” cord (recoil starter) with right hand several times until
engine starts. Allow starter cord to return slowly.
B) Electric Start: Turn Key switch to the START position and hold until the engine starts.
9) If engine does not start, repeat steps 5-8.
