NOTICE
Before operating the stump cutter, review
•Machine Controls• and •Other Machine
Components• presented earlier in this
•Operation• section, for a refresher on the
function and use of each control and component.
• Remove telescoping tongue lock-pin.
• Remove transport block.
• Conduct the pre-starting inspection (if not already
done), start the engine, and conduct the pre-
operation warm up, as previously discussed in this
'Operation' section.
WARNING
Keep everyone away when cutting wheel is
ON!
• Engage cutter wheel.
Increase engine speed to FAST.
• While operating boom left and right, adjust
LEFT/RIGHT speed with cutting wheel swing valve.
(Turn counterclockwise for slower travel, clockwise
for faster travel.)
2. Remove roots:
• Swing the cutting wheel to one side, then lower it
approximately 1" into the nearside roots that are
buried at the foot of the stump. Swing the cutting
wheel across the roots, back and forth, lowering
cutting wheel approximately 1" before each sweep,
until the roots are sufficiently removed.
• Raise cutting wheel until center of cutting wheel is
just above top of stump.
3. Cut stump proper:
• With the cutting wheel off to one side, advance it
horizontally (TONGUE OUT) so that when swept
across stump it will remove 1/2" to 1" of the stump.
• Sweep the cutting wheel across the stump, cutting
away 1/2" to 1" of wood.
• Advance cutting wheel 1/2" to 1", and sweep
across stump in opposite direction.
• Continue sweeping cutting wheel left and right
across stump, advancing it before each sweep,
cutting 1/2" to 1" depth of wood with each sweep,
until top level of stump is all removed.
• Raise cutting wheel, and retract machine from
stump, then lower cutting wheel, so that center of
cutting wheel is just above top of stump and such
that teeth are almost, but not quite, engaging
stump.
4. Complete cutting stump by repeating STEP 3
again and again until entire stump is cut to
desired depth.
