Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Replacing Wheels
1. See Figure 4-17. With the stump grinder on level
ground remove the bolt, lock washer and flat
washer from axle (A) with a 1/2" wrench.
Figure 4-17. Replacing the Wheels
2. Use a suitable lifting device and raise the machine
to allow wheel removal.
3. Remove the wheel.
4. Install the replacement wheel onto the axle.
NOTE: Verify right side wheel has bushings in each end
of the axle housing before installing the right wheel.
NOTE: The left hand wheel has a keyway. Verify the key
is in the keyway slot when installing the left wheel.
Adjusting Brake
NOTE: When the cable is adjusted correctly and the
brake lever is locked, the left-side wheel might still rotate
in reverse with some effort but should not rotate forward.
Tightening Brake Cable
If applying the brake does not hold the wheel in place
when the brake is applied, tighten the brake cable with
the following procedure.
1. Use a suitable lifting device and raise the left-side
of the machine off the ground so the left-side wheel
rotates freely.
2. See Figure 4-18. Loosen the lower nut (A) a few
turns away from the bracket (B).
Figure 4-18. Tightening Brake Cable
3. Rotate the wheel forward and tighten the upper nut
(C) until resistance is felt at the wheel.
4. Tighten the lower nut to the bracket.
5. Lower the unit to the ground and verify the left side
wheel brakes when the brake lever is engaged.
Loosening Brake Cable
If pushing the machine with the brake disengaged is diffi-
cult, loosen the brake cable with the following procedure.
1. Use a suitable lifting device and raise the left-side
of the machine off the ground so the left-side wheel
rotates freely.
2. See Figure 4-19. Loosen the lower nut (A) a few
turns away from the bracket (B).
Figure 4-19. Loosening Brake Cable
3. Rotate the wheel forward and loosen upper nut (C)
until the wheel turns freely but a slight resistance is
felt at the wheel.
4. Tighten the lower nut to the bracket.
5. Lower the unit to the ground and verify the left side
wheel brakes when the brake lever is locked.
Ball Hitch Receiver Adjustment
Ball Hitch Receiver Adjustment Check
1. See Figure 4-20. Place 2" ball in receiver socket
and close latch assembly. Verify locking trigger is
properly engaged in detent.
Figure 4-20. Ball Receiver Adjustment Check
2. Try moving the ball in the socket. If ball moves
more than 1/16 in, the clamp requires adjustment.
