3. Start the grinder and wait for it to get up to full
speed.
4. Use the grinder control lever to swing the grinder
slowly across the face of the stump, cutting away a
swath of chips (Figure 22).
Important: Do not force the grinder to move
too fast. Instead allow it to cut through the
wood without bogging down or losing speed.
5. Move the machine forward a few 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
an 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). Refer
to your local ordinances for trailer and tie-down
requirements.
1. Front tie-down loop
1. Rear tie-down loops
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.
