NOTICE
Clean hydraulic oil is essential for the proper
function of the hydraulic components. The oil
and filter should be changed in accordance with
instructions contained in the •Maintenance
Intervals• section of this manual, or sooner if the
hydraulic system becomes sluggish.
If the fluid smells burnt or the natural color of the
fluid has become black or milky, it is possible that
an overheating or water contaminant problem
exists. The problem should be corrected, and the
hydraulic oil changed, before continuing use of
machine.
Use only clean, fresh hydraulic oil, free of
bubbles. (Bubbles indicate trapped air.)

stump cutters are completely serviced at
the factory before shipping. The operator should
check all grease fittings to familiarize himself with
their location and acquaint himself with the correct
service schedule.
WARNING
Use the normal shutdown procedure (See
•Operating Instructions•), before lubricating
the machine.
Use only a high quality, multipurpose grease which
contains 3% to 5% molybdenum disulfide. Use NLGI
NO. 2 (or NO. 0 grade for extremely low
temperatures). Before lubricating make sure all grease
fittings and the nozzle of the grease gun is clean.

Drive Belts
WARNING
Before beginning to check or adjust belt:
shutdown the machine, ensure that all moving
parts have come to a halt, remove the key from
the engine start switch, and place the key in
safekeeping.
Extreme caution must be used to avoid death
or serious injury. Stay clear of belts and
chains and cutting wheel when they are
moving!
The cutting wheel is driven by the engine via v-belts ,
a jackshaft and a Poly Chain GT belt.
The hydraulic pump is driven through connection to
the engine shaft via a v-belt.
NOTICE
To extend belt life proper tension must be
maintained. A loose belt will cause excessive
cutting wheel slippage and belt failure. A belt
that is too tight can cause bearing, shaft and
belt failure.
