STUMP GRINDER INSTRUCTIONS UPON DELIVERY
Upon delivery, check for freight damage and any missing items. If there is damage, notify the carrier
and Barreto Manufacturing immediately
and make sure to document there was damage on the
delivery receipt.
Please take pictures of any damage immediately if possible before unpacking crate.
Remove machine from shipping crate.
When documentation refers to “right side” or “left side”, it is relative to the operator’s position with
both hands on the controls.
SERVICE INFORMATION
BELT SYSTEM:
Your stump grinder arrives with a heavy duty belt drive system. This system will need periodical
inspection and service.
BRAKE SYSTEM:
Your stump grinder has a cable-operated parking brake system which may need to be adjusted as the
cables stretch with use.
NOTE:
It is very important to move the fuel shutoff lever to the closed position after stopping
the engine. Failure to do so could cause fuel to leak down into the cylinder and crankcase.
Damage resulting from this will void your engine warranty and not be covered.
IMPORTANT
- The engine on the Barreto stump grinder may or may not have been serviced prior
to shipping. Shipping regulations may prohibit shipping with fuel or oil in the engine. Check levels
and add oil and fuel as required before starting engine. Service the engine according to the engine
owner’s manual before starting.
NOTE
: We recommend that the cutter teeth be tightened to 25 ft. lbs. after every use.
