OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
CUTTING FEED RATE – PTO MODELS
The cutting feed rate is controlled by the hydraulic pres-
sure relief valve connected to the 2” X 24” hydraulic cylin-
der. The pressure relief valve is set from the factory at
150 psi. For most tractors and cutting conditions, this
should be correct.
If your tractor is on the lower end of the recommended
horsepower range of the stump grinder model, it would
help if you lowered the pressure setting.
If you are cutting very hard wood and have sufficient
tractor horsepower, it could help if you increased the
pressure setting.
Adjust relief valve only with stump grinder and
tractor shut off, then relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Always have the thumb wheel locked securely
against the valve body prior to operation. Failure to
do so may cause serious personal injury.
• Pay particular close attention to the Safety Messages
regarding cutter transport. Avoid unnecessary injuries
and equipment damage by exercising cautious, con-
scientious travel procedures.
• Be sure to reduce power unit ground speed when
turning; and, leave enough clearance so the stump
grinder does not contact obstacles such as buildings,
trees or fences.
• Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When traveling on
roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving
vehicles may pass you safely.
• Allow for additional length of loader and attachment on
tractor while turning.
• When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, slow down
and use extra care.
• Read all the safety warnings in the front of the manual.
•
DO NOT OPERATE PTO DURING TRANSPORT.
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or
during the day, use accessory light and devices for
adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles.
Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
TRANSPORTING
——————————————————
REMOVING STUMP GRINDER
FROM TRACTOR
——————————————————
Properly park tractor, shut off engine, and disengage
tractor PTO.
Lower and pin parking stand.
Lower stump grinder with 3 pt. hitch. Lower cutting
wheel so parking stand contacts ground.
Shut off power unit engine.
Relieve all hydraulic pressure in hydraulic hose lines.
Disconnect driveline from tractor PTO. Collapse drive-
line as far as possible and store it to prevent ground
contact.
Disconnect hydraulic hoses. Cap hose ends to keep
them clean.
Disconnect power unit from stump grinder. Position
hydraulic hoses so they are not contacting the ground.
Carefully drive power unit away.
STORING SAFELY
——————————————————
• Make sure stump grinder will be located on a solid
surface and in a location away from children, animals,
or traffic area.
• Storage location should be level and solid to make
hitching and unhitching easy with the grader blade
lowered.
• Drain and change the oil in your gearbox.
• Check and replace, where necessary, teeth, bolts,
nuts, or bushings, on the machine.
• Replace any safety signs if damaged.
• Sand areas where paint is chipped or worn and repaint
to prevent rust. Lubricate all pivot locations on stump
grinder to prevent moisture damage during storage.
• Place plastic caps on the hydraulic hose ends.
• Cover the unit to keep it clean.
• Coat hydraulic cylinder rods with lithium based grease.
