5. Move the machine forward a few centimeters (inches)
and repeat step 4 (Figure 22).
6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 until you have ground off the
entire face of the stump (Figure 22).
7. Back up the machine, position the grinder to the side
of the front of the stump, and lower it to about 2 cm
(1 inch) below the surface.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 until the stump is ground
away.
9. If there are any large roots to be ground, position the
grinder over each root and use the traction control and
grinder control to move the grinder along the root,
grinding it away.
Securing the Machine for
Transport
When transporting the machine on a trailer, always use the
following procedure:
Important: Do not operate or drive the machine on
roadways.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Lower the grinder.
3. Secure the machine to the trailer with chains or straps
using the tie-down/lift loops at the front and rear of
the machine (Figure 23 and Figure 24).
Note: Refer to your local ordinances for trailer and
tie-down requirements.

Lifting the Machine
You can lift the machine using the tie-down/lift loops as lift
points (Figure 23 and Figure 24).
Operating Tips
•
Clean the area of trash, branches and rocks before
operating to prevent equipment damage.
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when
grinding.
•
Cut the edges of the stump for more efficient grinding.
Once your cutting swath is close to 1/4 of the wheel
diameter, lift the grinder, move forward and begin cutting
on the edge again.
•
Listen to the engine and watch the grinder wheel speed
to maintain the speed of the wheel. Slow down the head
sweep by feathering the joystick as cutting becomes
difficult.
