Procedure for Cutting a Stump
Never leave controls when cutting wheel is rotating!
1.
Prepare machine at stump
!
Place machine into position with cutting wheel near top edge of
stump.
NOTICE
Before operating the C500, review MACHINE CONTROLS presented earlier in this OPERATION section, for a
refresher on the function and use of each control and component.
!
Conduct the pre-starting inspection (if not already done), start the engine, and conduct the pre-
operation warm-up, as previously discussed in this OPERATION section.
Keep everyone away when cutting wheel is ON!
!
Lock the brake by pulling back the brake lever.
2.
Remove roots
!
Make sure the throttle is set to “FAST”. The cutter wheel is
thus accelerated to cutting speed.
!
Swing the cutting wheel to one side, then lower it
approximately 1” into the nearside roots that are buried at the
foot of the stump. Swing the cutting wheel across the roots,
back and forth, lowering cutting wheel approximately 1” before
each sweep, until the roots are sufficiently removed.
!
Raise the cutting wheel until centre of cutting wheel is just
above the top of the stump. Allow the cutter wheel to stop, release the brake, and reposition the
machine. Lock the brake again.
