Perform any inspection, repair and maintenance works as well as cleaning parts or assemblies 
when  the  drive  is  switched  off  and  there  is  no  pressure  in  the  hydraulics,  having  taken  the 
ignition key off and set the aggregation of tractor and machine in a standstill position (Journal 
of Laws No. 12/98 item 51.) 

 

Inspect bolts and other fasteners regularly. Do not operate with damaged or worn fasteners. 

 

Do  not  operate  with  damaged  or  worn  fasteners.  When  the  rubber  guard  shows  signs  of 
ageing (e.g. microcracks over the surface), it should be replaced. 

 

Do not perform any repair works underneath the lifted machine’s assemblies, unless protected 
against free falling (Journal of Laws No. 12/98 item 51.) 

 

Replace damaged or worn (aged 5 years or older) hydraulic hoses and other hydraulic parts as 
recommended by the Manufacturer.  

 

Before  any operation, check the condition of  cutting knives.  If blunt,  rotate the knife by 1/3 
turn  (3  sharp  cutting  edges  per  a  single  knife  can  be  achieved),  or  handle  it  for  a  recovery. 
Damaged or worn blades must be replaced. 

 

Use only original spare parts ordered at our store or at your dealer. 

 

During  operation,  maintenance  and  adjustment,  always  wear  protective  gloves,  shoes  and 
clothing without loose elements, belts, etc. Always respect warnings on safety labels attached 
to the machine. 

 

When  operating  the  hydraulics,  always  wear  protective  eyewear  and  gloves.  Hydraulic  oil 
leaking under pressure (16 MPa) may penetrate the skin and cause its irritation thereafter. In 
such case, visit a doctor immediately.  

 

In  the  event  of  a  serious  failure,  please  call  for  technical  service,  and  if  an  accident  (in  this 
case: road accident) occurs, respect first aid rules and contact responsible authorities. 

Storage 

 

Tree stump grinder should be stored under a roof and protected against access of animals and 
unauthorised persons who could get injured. 

Transport 

 

Both the driver and the carrier are responsible for the grinder's safe transport. Any equipment 
and parts must be secured for transport. 

 

Using  lifting  devices  grab  only  stiff  elements  on  the  grinder  such  as  housing  and  mounting 
plate. 

 

In  order  to  lift  the  machine,  use  only  lifting  devices  of  hoisting  capacity  bigger  than  the 
grinder’s weight provided on the data plate. 

 

On the vehicle's trailer, the tree stump grinder should be protected against moving. 

 

NOTE 
The  person  in  charge  of  the  machine's  transport  shall  be  responsible  for 
securing the danger area and performing the work.

 

 

2.2

 

Safety labels 

 

NOTE 
Always follow the safety labels describing risks, and warning signs attached 
to the machine. 

 

NOTE 

 

All warning labels should be clean and legible. 

 

Lost or damaged labels must be replaced.
