Use the variable width lever to fully expand the width of the tracks to their outermost position.
Pushing the lever forwards will expand the track base.
TRACK WIDENING
Take care when widening or narrowing the tracks. Obstacles e.g. stumps, walls etc, could
cause unnecessary wear to the rubber tracks and its mechanism and could also cause a
track to come off. Also take care that no people or obstacles may be caught between the
tracks and the machine or between the tracks and other obstacles.
Make sure the control panel is fully open and locked in position so the control panel cannot
move.
Use the cutter lift / lower lever to lower the cutter down until it is just below the level of the top
edge of the tree stump ready for the first cut. ensure that the cutter wheel is to the side of,
and clear of, the stump.
Pulling the lever backwards will raise the cutter.
Pushing the lever forwards will lower the cutter.
The possible depth of cut will vary based on the type of tree stump and its condition. I
ie. hardwood or softwood, wet or dry, fresh cut or old and decayed. It is recommended that
the first cut is considered a test cut and as such the depth of this cut should be kept to a
minimum, i.e less than 25mm (less than 1”). Based on the performance of the first cut the
depth of the next cut can be increased or reduced. Maximum depth of cut is 460mm See
Figure 1 on page 16 for the start position.
