Stopping The Machine
1. When stopping the machine after normal operation,
lower the engine speed to SLOW, and cycle each of
the hydraulic controls slowly for about 30 seconds each
to help the hydraulic com po nents to cool slowly.
2. Flip the cutting wheel ON/OFF Switch down to the OFF
position, stopping the cutting wheel rotation.
Engine Stopping
1. Reduce the engine speed to IDLE.
2. Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position to stop
the engine. Remove the engine start key.
Parking The Machine
Park on a level surface if possible. If it is necessary to park
on a grade, block the wheels securely. Do not park sideways
on a hill, side-sliding could occur.
• Lower the engine speed control slightly to reduce
engine rpm.
• Center the cutter boom, using the joystick.
• Turn off the cutting wheel using the cutter wheel On/
Off switch
• Lower the attachment slowly with the Right Joystick until
the cutting wheel rests on the ground.
Machine Storage
Preparing for Storage
Store the machine in a dry protected place. If the machine
must be stored outside, cover it with a waterproof canvas
or other material.
Clean all grease, dirt, mud and other foreign matter from the
machine. Wash the machine. Start and operate machine to
help rid it of puddled or excess water. To inhibit rusting, paint
all exposed surfaces.
All exposed hydraulic cylinder rods should be coated with
Valvoline Tectyl 506 oil or equivalent. Rusty or pitted cylinder
rods will dam age O-Rings and cause leakage.
Lubricate all parts that have grease fittings, as outlined in the
“Maintenance Intervals” section of the Maintenance manual,
to prevent rust.
With the engine OFF, remove any pressure from the hydraulic
cylinders by working the control levers back and forth.
Store the battery inside where temperatures do not drop
below 32° F. Place the battery on wood, not on a concrete
floor or steel table. Always keep the battery fully charged.
DO NOT store where an open flame or sparks might occur.
Check your machine for any worn or broken parts at this
time. By ordering replacement parts now, you can avoid
unnecessary delays when you remove the machine from
storage.
1. Store the machine in a flat place and remove the key
from the engine.
2. Do not store the machine in a place that has flammable
material such as dry grass or straw.
3. When covering the engine for storage, allow the engine
and muffler to cool off completely.
4. Operate the engine after checking and repairing damaged
wirings or pipes, and clearing flammable materials that
may have accumulated while in storage (such as debris
brought in by mice).
Removal from Storage
• Remove all coverings. Wipe excess oil from hy drau lic
cylinder rods.
• Lubricate machine entirely, as instructed in the
“Maintenance Intervals” section of this manual.
• Check the hydraulic hoses and fuel lines for deterioration,
and replace as necessary.
• Tighten all nuts, bolts and hydraulic fittings.
• Replace the hydraulic filter and fuel filter. After prolonged
storage, change the hydraulic oil, engine oil, and fuel (if
a storage aid was not used).
• Check cutter boom drive belt tension. Belt can loosen
if left in storage for an extended time. Replace if belt is
older than 6 years from purchase date.
• Mount the battery and connect the cables to the machine.
DUE TO HIGH SPEED LOW-FRICTION
ROTATION, THE CUTTING WHEEL MAY
CONTINUE TO ROTATE UNNOTICED, EVEN
AFTER THE ON/OFF SWITCH HAS BEEN
FLIPPED OFF, AND EVEN AFTER THE ENGINE
HAS STOPPED. BE SURE THE CUTTING
WHEEL COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP
BEFORE MOVING THE MACHINE OR LEAVING
THE CONTROLS!
NOTICE
Before stopping an engine that has been operating
at working load, allow the engine to continue to run
with the throttle midway between slow and fast, for
at least 15 seconds.
