3500D MACHINE OPERATION
20
• Lower spinning cutter wheel to stump
and make a few light passes at stump to
get a feel for the cutting action.
• Gradually increase cutting action and
work away at stump by swinging cutter
wheel left-to-right-to-left through stump
in a sideways motion. Smooth,
effortless cutting lengthens machine life,
minimizes downtime and is more
profitable in the long run.
• Continue cutting stump by adjusting
cutting wheel progressively lower until
stump is cut well below ground level.
• Swing cutter wheel clear of stump and
extend tongue to position machine closer
to stump for next series of passes and
continue cutting.
• Continue in this manner until stump has
been removed.
• Larger stumps may require repositioning
machine to work at best advantages.
• Raise cutter wheel clear of stump and
return to center position.
• Withdraw tongue extension.
• Reduce engine speed to idle and
disengage drive belts. DO NOT TURN
OFF MOTOR. Engine must be allowed
to cool slowly at idle for 3-5 minutes to
avoid damage.
• DO NOT DISENGAGE DRIVE
BELTS AT A HIGH ENGINE
SPEED. Damage to belts and machine
will occur.
• At low engine RPM cutter wheel swing
speed control needs to be closed for
cutter head to swing. Turn clockwise to
close.
• Turn off motor.
• Allow cutter wheel to come to a full stop
before inspecting work area.
