SP5014TRX MACHINE OPERATION
21

Lower spinning cutter wheel to stump and
make a few light passes at stump to get a
feel for the cutting action.

Gradually increase cutting action and work
away at stump by swinging cutter wheel
left-to-right-to-left through stump in a
sideways motion. Smooth, effortless cutting
lengthens machine life, minimizes
downtime, and is more profitable in the long
run.

Continue cutting stump by adjusting cutter
wheel progressively lower until stump is cut
well below ground level.

Raise cutter wheel and swing clear of stump
then extend tongue to position machine
closer to stump for next series of passes.
Lower cutter wheel and continue cutting.

Continue in this manner until stump has
been removed.

Larger stumps may require repositioning
machine to work at best advantages.

Raise cutter wheel clear of stump and return
to center position.

Reduce engine speed to idle. DO NOT
TURN MOTOR OFF. Engine must be
allowed to cool slowly at idle for 3 – 5
minutes to avoid damage.

With engine speed at idle; disengage drive
belts by slowly pushing the engagement
lever back toward the cutter wheel. The
engine slide will lock automatically when
belt is disengaged.

DO NOT DISENGAGE DRIVE BELTS
AT A HIGH ENGINE SPEED.
Damage
to belts and machine will occur.

Allow cutter wheel to come to a full stop
before inspecting work area.

Turn motor off.
