2. Set brake to lock position.
3. Set throttle to (START ) DISENGAGE position.
4. Start engine.
5. Allow engine to warm up at idle for two minutes.
6. Move throttle up to the ENGAGE position (this will engage the cutting blade rotation).
7. Swing the cutting blade to one side, then lower it approximately 1/2” to 1” into the front-
top corner of the stump. Swing the cutting blade back and forth, lowering the cutting
blade approximately 1/2 “to 1” before each sweep, until you have removed the front por-

8. Raise cutting blade until center of cutting blade is just above top of stump.
9. With the cutting blade off to one side, advance the machine horizontally by releasing and

sweep.

11. Advance cutting blade 1/2” to 1”, and sweep across stump in opposite direction.
12. Continue sweeping cutting blade left and right across stump, advancing it before each
sweep, cutting 1/2” to 1” depth of stump with each sweep.
13. Continue cutting until top level of stump is all removed, making sure not to cut stump
deeper than ground level during this first stage.
14. Turn throttle to the (START) DISENGAGE position, wait ten seconds for blade to stop rotat-
ing then release brake and retract machine from stump.
15. Pull machine away from stump, and rake chips away from stump
