GROUND TRANSPORT OF THE STUMP GRINDER
Raise the cutter head.
WARNING
: Contact with the cutter wheel while in operation will cause serious injury or even
death. The teeth of the cutter are sharp. Avoid contact even when the cutter is not moving.
TRACK CONTROL: Controls the travel direction and speed.
•
Track controls are designed to be operated with two hands.
•
Pushing the control handles forward from neutral position causes the machine to move forward.
•
Pulling the control handles back from neutral position causes the machine to move backward.
•
Moving the track control handles farther from the neutral position increases the speed.
•
Steer the machine by moving one track control handle farther than the other handle. This causes the
track on one side to rotate at a different speed than the opposite track. Pivot turns can be made by
moving one control forward and the other control back.
Keep away from tracks to avoid being crushed.
WARNING
: Being run over by the stump grinder will cause injury.
Never allow anybody to ride on the machine.
Never make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Use extra caution on soft or uneven ground.
Avoid operating adjacent to drop-offs or embankments.
Avoid inclines if at all possible. Never use on any incline exceeding the angles shown below.
WARNING
: Navigating on any incline increases the danger of the machine losing traction or
rolling over, especially if the surface is wet. If you lose control get out of the way immediately to
avoid personal injury. Navigation on inclines should be especially slow and turns very gradual.
A 20° maximum incline is allowed.
