THE TRAILER MUST BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOW VEHICLE
BEFORE LOADING OR UNLOADING THE STUMP GRINDER.

DO NOT LOAD OR UNLOAD ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN LEVEL GROUND.
LOADING
•
Start engine as recommended by the
engine manufacturers manual.
•
Increase engine RPM, raise cutter head
just off the ground.
•
Position the machine behind the trailer
and close to the loading ramps. Push the
forward track controls on the remote
control and watch closely to make sure
both tracks stay on the ramps while
loading. KEEP THE MACHINE AS
LEVEL AS POSSIBLE.
•
Continually adjust the cutter head height
as you go up the ramps, keeping the
mass as low to the ground as possible.
•
When the machine is loaded, lower the
cutter head and shut down the engine.
•
Secure the machine tightly with
sufficient tie downs to prevent any
movement in transit.
UNLOADING
•
With trailer still securely attached to tow
vehicle, remove tie down straps and
make sure ramps are securely attached to
trailer and positioned correctly to unload
the machine.
•
Start engine, increase RPM, and raise
cutter head to just clear the deck and
ramp.
•
Continually adjust the cutter head up and
down to keep the mass as low to the
ground as possible.
•
Raise cutter head and proceed to the
work site using extreme caution on hills
and uneven terrain. Use the gear and
flow controls in high position to get to
the job site faster and use the gear and
flow controls in low to make climbing
easier. See the Machine Controls
section for more information.
