of the stump has been removed. DO NOT cut deeper than ground level at this stage.

the handle control lever and adjust the handle to the desired position.

17. Repeat Steps 6 through 10 until you reach the desired depth.

18. Shut off the machine when you are done.

Operating On Hills

Be very careful when operating the stump grinder on hills because the machine can slip or move unexpectedly.

NEVER use the machine on grades of 10° or steeper.

Transport

The Husqvarna stump grinder can be transported in a truck, trailer, van or a large SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). The stump grinder is equipped with four lifting handles (two on each side) so that two people can lift the machine if necessary.

DO NOT attempt to lift the machine alone. Use safe lifting techniques and DO NOT exceed your physical limitations.

Secure the machine with tensioning belts, chains or other approved materials.

The lifting handles can also be used to secure the machine for transport.
