Procedure for Cutting the Stump
Position the Stump Grinder
(fig. 12)
.
Place the machine into position with the cutting
wheel near the top edge of the stump.
Remove nearby roots first
(fig. 13)
.
Conduct the pre-starting inspection if not already
done and start the engine as per the operating
instructions above. Allow the engine to “warm
up” for 30 seconds with the engine revs set to
the MIN position prior to starting to remove the
stump.
Lock the brake by pulling back the brake lever.
Make sure the throttle is set to “MAX”. The cutter
wheel is thus accelerated to cutting speed.
Swing the cutting wheel to one side, then lower it
approximately 1” into the nearside roots that are
buried at the foot of the stump.
Swing the cutting wheel across the roots, back
and forth, lowering cutting wheel approximately
1” before each sweep, until the roots are
sufficiently removed.
Raise the cutting wheel until the centre of the
cutting wheel is just above the top of the stump.
Allow the cutter wheel to stop rotating, release the brake, and reposition the
machine. Lock the brake again.
Remove the main part of the stump
(fig. 14)
.
Make sure the throttle is set to “MAX”. The cutter wheel is thus accelerated to
cutting speed.
Direct the cutter wheel against the stump, beginning with the nearside top corner
of the stump, and steadily sweep it across the stump left and right, cutting away 1”
of wood with each sweep.
Raise and lower the cutter wheel, between sweeps as needed, by lowering and
raising the control handle.
Roll the machine forward and back by pushing and pulling on the control handle,
between sweeps as needed, in order to progress into the stump. To do this, release
the brake. Relock it when the machine has been repositioned, and continue cutting.
Shut off the engine by releasing the Operator Presence Control (OPC) lever.
