9.
Make the first pass across front edge of stump,
pivoting the stump grinder from side to side in
3-6 in. (76-152 mm) passes.
10. Continue to take passes across the front edge
of the stump, taking 3-6 in. (76-152 mm) on
each pass.
11. When ground level is reached, continue to
grind below the surface to the bottom of the
stump where the roots branch out.
12. Release safety bar (C) to decrease engine
speed and disengage rotor.
13. Release wheel lock and position the stump
grinder beside the new front edge of the stump.
14. Engage wheel lock.
15. Pull safety bar (C) tight against handle (D).
This will increase engine rpm to operating
speed and engage rotor.
16. Make multiple passes over the front edge of
the stump, taking 3-6 in. (76-152 mm) on each
pass.
17. Reposition stump grinder as needed until
the entire stump has been removed to below
ground level.
18. Follow the roots, taking as much of the larger
surface roots as possible. If these are not
removed they can, over time, protrude from the
ground in areas where there is a heavy freeze/
thaw cycle.
19. Release safety bar (C) to decrease engine
speed and disengage rotor.
20. Move stump grinder away from stump to a flat
