3. Stopping the Engine
Stop the engine using the following steps:
1.
While holding blade off ground, release the
operator presence bar. Wait until the blade
completely stops. Lower the blade so it is resting
against the ground.
2.
Make sure brake is set before leaving the controls,
particularly if you are on an incline.
3.
Turn engine switch to OFF position.
4.
Allow the engine to cool for at least 5 minutes
before releasing brake and moving to storage or
transporting. A hot engine can be a fire hazard.
4. Grinding the Stump
WARNING
:
Flying Debris Hazard
Stones, chips, and debris can cause serious injury or property damage.
Debris can fly 23 meters in any direction out of the chute. They can bounce
off any fixed objects as well and hit operator, bystanders or breakable
objects.
1.
Set/engage the brake.
2.
Pivot the grinder toward the side of the stump, then lower it approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm into the
front-top corner of the stump. Slowly pivot the cutter wheel back and forth, lowering the cutter
wheel approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm before each sweep, until you have removed the front portion
of the stump to ground level.
WARNING
:
Rotating Cutter Wheel
Keep hands and feet away. Contact with wheel rotating teeth will cause
serious personal injury.
3.
Raise the cutter wheel until center of cutter wheel is just above top of stump.
4.
With cutter wheel off to one side, advance the machine horizontally by releasing and resetting
the brake. Advance the machine forward to engage the cutter wheel into the stump so that when
swept across the stump it will remove 1.5 to 2.5 cm of stump with each sweep.
5.
Sweep the cutter wheel across the stump, cutting away 1.5 to 2.5 cm of stump.
6.
Advance cutter wheel 1.5 to 2.5 cm, and sweep again across stump in opposite direction.
7.
Continue sweeping cutter wheel left and right across stump, advancing it before each sweep,
cutting 1.5 to 2.5 cm depth of stump with each sweep.
8.
Cut complete stump flush with ground, then go back and cut to further depth, if desired.
