SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read and understand this manual as well as the engine manual supplied with your unit before operation. Be thoroughly familiar with controls and operation of equipment. Know how to stop unit quickly in case of an emergency. Understand and follow each Danger, Warning, Caution and Instruction decal installed on equipment. NEVER allow children to operate equipment. DO NOT allow adults to operate unit without proper instructions.
DAILY CHECKLIST • • • • • • • • Check engine oil at dipstick. Take reading with engine sitting level. Add recommended oil as required. Check fuel filter for debris or water. Check fuel supply before starting engine. DO NOT fill gasoline tank indoors, when engine is running, or while engine is still hot. Allow engine to cool several minutes before removing fuel cap. Wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting engine. Check condition and tightness of belts.
MACHINE OPERATION STARTING - READ ENGINE MANUFACTURERS OWNERS MANUAL BEFORE STARTING. • • • • Check all fluids before starting. Cutter wheel will engage with increased RPM. Inspect all connections, teeth, tires, etc. (See Daily Checklist). Start engine at idle speed and allow sufficient time for oil to circulate before proceeding. o Turn fuel shut-off valve to “on” position (See Figure 1). o Place the throttle control at the “slow” position. o Engage the Choke for cold weather operation (See Figure 2).
MACHINE OPERATION • • • • • • • • • • NEVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNIT WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING (EXCEPT WHERE SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDED). KEEP ENGINE IN GOOD CONDITION. KEEP ALL SHIELDS IN PLACE AND SAFETY DEVICES OPERATING PROPERLY. DO NOT TOUCH EQUIPMENT PARTS THAT HAVE MIGHT BE HOT FROM OPERATION. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN, ADJUST OR SERVICE, ALLOW SUCH PARTS TO COOL. IF EQUIPMENT VIBRATES ABNORMALLY, STOP ENGINE AT ONCE. ABNORMAL VIBRATION IS A WARNING OF TROUBLE.
MACHINE OPERATION • • • • • Unlock the brake, move the machine further forward, reset the brake, and resume the grinding process. Should there be excessive chip build-up shut off cutter and move out of position and rake away chip build-up then start to cut again. Continue in this manner until stump has been removed. Reduce engine speed to idle. Turn off motor. Allow cutter wheel to come to a complete stop before inspecting. Figure 7 CUTTER WHEEL WILL ENGAGE WITH INCREASED RPM.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE − Check engine oil at dipstick with engine sitting level. Add recommended oil and change oil as required. (See engine owner’s manual.) − Grease cutter wheel bearings DAILY. These bearings should be purged using grease DAILY. Purge until new grease comes out. Use Texaco® Starplex II grease. − Grease wheel bearings WEEKLY. These bearings should be purged using grease WEEKLY. Purge until new grease comes out. Use Texaco® Starplex II grease.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE − To adjust V-belt tension, loosen the four bolts on the engine plate (See Figure 1). Then, equally adjust engine slide plate bolts to desired position (See Figure 2). − Proper tension of drive belt is 5/32” deflection at center of span between pulleys with 10 lbs. of pressure applied. − Too much tension results in excessive wear and stress on flywheel shaft bearings. − Belts tend to “seat-in” during the first few hours of operation.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE COMPLAINT CAUSE Engine will not start. (see Engine Manufacturer Manual for further information.) • • Belt Squeal. • • Cutter wheel vibration. Cutter wheel throwing teeth. Engine switch set to OFF position. Operator presence bar not engaged. Belt tension too loose. Belt out of line. CORRECTION • Turn on. • • Hold handle while starting. Tighten. • Align Pulleys. • • • Replace missing teeth. Always replace pockets in pairs across from each other.
SERVICING CUTTER WHEEL SAFETY - DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE WITHOUT A FULL SET OF TEETH. There are twelve (12) teeth to a complete set on the model 900. Two (2) straight teeth, five (5) left 25° teeth and five (5) right 25° teeth. A locking pin is provided to hold cutter wheel in position during tooth removal and re-installation. Locking pin will only lock on outer teeth. NEVER PLACE HAND ON CUTTER WHEEL TO HOLD IN PLACE WHILE CHANGING TEETH. BE SURE TO REMOVE PIN BEFORE OPERATING.
SERVICING CUTTER WHEEL TOOTH ARRANGEMENT • • • Inspect pockets, teeth and bolts for damage and replace as required. When replacing pockets, always replace new pockets across from each other in order to prevent vibration. Replacement teeth must be carbide tipped and of like design as provided with the machine. • • • Use anti-seize on threads to prevent bolts from “freezing up” in cutter wheel. When replacing complete set of teeth, be sure to duplicate original factory tooth arrangement.
SERVICING CUTTER WHEEL TOOTH SHARPENING Begin by removing the exposed area of the steel shank shown above with a standard grinding stone to provide relief for the cut. After the shank has been ground, use a silicon carbide green stone to dress the carbide. • Cut the shank with a standard grinding stone and cut the carbide with a silicone carbide green stone or diamond rock. CAUTION: EYE PROTECTION ALONG WITH A FRESH AIR RESPIRATOR MUST BE WORN WHILE GRINDING CARBIDE.
