OPERATION

Machine Stopping

1.

When stopping the machine after normal operation, lower engine speed to “SLOW”, and release operator 
presence control.

A rotating cutting wheel  is very DANGEROUS!   Stand at controls and ensure that cutting wheel comes to a 
complete stop before doing anything else.

2.

Set park brake before leaving controls.

3.

Turn engine switch to “OFF”.

Helpful Tips for Operating Machine

1.

Use smooth, confortable speeds while operating.

2.

When it is desired to cut smaller roots, it may be more effective to do so before, rather than after, cutting the 
stump.

3.

Should the chip build-up become excessive when cutting, shut off the machine, wait for the cutting wheel to 
stop rotating, retract the machine from the stump, and rake away chips.   It is also possible to use the cutter 
wheel to push chips off to the side.

4.

On larger stumps, when cutting from one side, eventually a tyre may tend to roll into the hole.   This may be 
prevented by moving the machine to another side of the stump to continue removal, or by filling the hole with 
chips before continuing.
