SAFETY PROCEDURES
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as cutter
teethbolts,etc.fortorqueandfit.
Most of the nuts used on the Bandit Grinder are
self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed
fivetimes,itshouldbereplacedtoensureproper
tightness. This is especially critical on the cutter tooth
bolts!
After the engine is started, let the grinder wheel
turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type
of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is
foreign.Ifyouhearanoise,stoptheengine,findthe

disengage clutch or cutter wheel engagement, wait
for the cutter wheel to come to a complete stop,
position and lock the cutter wheel arm in the transport
position, turn off engine, remove the ignition key,
make sure the ignition key is in your possession,
install the cutter wheel lock pin, wait 2 minutes then
disconnect the battery.
ALWAYS install the lock pin into the cutter lock
tube before working on the grinder.
Simply slide the lock pin into the cutter wheel lock
tube. This is to ensure that the cutter wheel cannot
be started while you are working on the grinder. If
for some reason the cutter wheel would start to turn,
it would simply hit the lock pin.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Tow the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
If the machine is going to be operated in excessively
cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery
