9

Check engine oil at dipstick. Take reading
with engine sitting level (see photos). Add
recommended oil as required (see engine
owners’ Manual).

Check fuel filter for debris or water.

Replenish fuel tank with fresh fuel.

Check condition and tightness of engine belts.
(See Servicing Belts section) New belts will
stretch and become loose as machine runs.
Check belt tension often when belts are new.

Check for any loose, broken or missing cutter
teeth and pockets.

Inspect bolts, hydraulic fittings, wiring
harnesses, hoses and equipment for tightness,
wear, or leakage. Replace if necessary.

Inspect dry air filters. REPLACE, if
necessary, WITH FACTORY AIR FILTER
ONLY (see Maintenance Section for part
numbers). Do not blow out or tap on ground.
Follow engine manual procedure for removal
and replacement. Because of the
environment of a stump grinder, air filters
need to be inspected and replaced more often
than the engine manufacturer recommends.

Replace inner safety filter when dirty or when
the outer air filter has been changed 3 times.
Do not blow out the inner safety filter or tap
on ground. Do not allow dirt to get into
engine when removing filters. Dirt ingestion
will cause engine failure and is not warranted.

Check hydraulic oil daily , with engine off
and cool, and replenish as necessary. This
Carlton stump grinder is equipped with a
gauge that shows the level of oil and the
temperature of the oil. When filling the tank
with 2/3 oil, the window of the gauge will
also fill with oil, as the level gets higher in
the tank. Never fill the oil tank above the
BLACK line at the top of the gauge. Do not
run the machine with the oil level below the
RED line at the bottom of the gauge.

Grease cutter wheel and jackshaft bearings
daily. Purge bearings until new grease is
seen.
