OPERATING TECHNIQUE

1.Power for operating the stump grinder is supplied by the tractor PTO. Know how to stop the tractor and stump grinder quickly in an emergency.

2.Position stump grinder above stump to be removed. Engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize stress on the drive system and gearbox. With PTO engaged, increase PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain throughout grinding operation.

3.Lower tractor 3-point arm until pads on stump grinder are firmly on the ground.

4.Activate top cylinder to lower the cutting wheel onto the stump to desired depth.

NOTE: The amount of material removed may vary depending on tractor size and hardness of wood.

5.Start cutting wheel on left edge of stump and slowly activate side cylinder to begin grinding. Cutting wheel can pivot 55-degrees from side to side.

6.With pass across stump completed, activate side cylinder to the left, lower top cylinder to remove more material, and activate side cylinder to the right. Continue this process until stump is removed.

NOTE: If stump is too large to remove in one pass, reposition tractor and start operating procedures over.
