Congratulations on your choice of a Baumalight
3-Point Stump Grinder to complement your stump
grinding operation. This equipment has been
designed and manufactured to meet the needs
of a discriminating buyer for efcient grinding of
stumps.
Model 1P24 has 34 teeth on a 24 in. cutter. This
means less cutting for each tooth resulting in
longer tooth life and smoother cutting for less wear
on the tractor. Heavy tooth population makes ner
mulch and smoother operation.
The cutting wheel is powered by the PTO (540) on
your tractor.
Grease zerks are provided at major pivot points for
extended service life.
The debris shields is standard equipment on all
stump grinders. It is recommended that the stump
grinder never be operated without one.
Safe, efcient and trouble free operation of your
Stump Grinder requires that you and anyone else
who will be operating or maintaining the Stump
Grinder, read and understand the Safety, Operation,
Maintenance and Troubleshooting information
contained within the Operator’s Manual.
OPERATOR ORIENTATION - The directions left,
right, front and rear, as mentioned throughout this

4.2 Driveline Dimension
To accompany the variety of 3 point hitch geometry
available today, the driveline can be too long for
some machines or too short for others. It is very
important that the driveline be free to telescope but
not to bottom out when going through its working
range. If the driveline bottoms out, the bearings
on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will be
overloaded and fail in a short time.
To determine the proper length of the driveline,
follow this procedure:
1. Attach brush cutter to tractor but do not attach
driveline.
2. Raise cutter until the input shaft is level with
tractor PTO shaft.
3. Measure dimension (A) between locking
grooves on tractor PTO shaft and cutter input
shaft.
4. Measure same dimension (B) on compressed
driveline.
1. Subtract machine dimension (A) from uncut
driveline dimension (B). This dimension
determines how much too long the driveline is.
2. Add 1 in. (25 mm) to the dimension to be sure
it doesn’t bottom out, to determine cut off
dimension (C).
3. Use a hacksaw to cut dimension (C) from both
ends. Cut both plastic tubes and metal cores.
5. If compressed driveline dimension (B) exceeds
the machine dimension (A), driveline must be
cut.
When cutting driveline, follow this procedure:
4. Use a le to remove burrs from cut edges.
5. Assemble shaft.
6. Make sure shaft can telescope freely. If it does
not, separate and inspect for burrs or cuttings
on shaft ends. Be sure it telescopes freely
before installing.

3. Verify tractor PTO is disengaged.
4. Travel at a reasonable and safe speed.
^ WARNING
To prevent bodily injury from rotating
cutting wheel, be sure to disengage
PTO before transporting grinder�
5.7 Carbide Teeth BreakIn
During the rst few hours of use, avoid hitting
stones as much as possible to allow the carbide
teeth to wear slightly. This can be done by keeping
the cutting wheel above ground level. Brand new
carbide tips are razor sharp and can chip and
shatter easily when they hit hard objects. Once
the razor sharpness has worn away, the tips do
not chip as easily. Observing these precautions
will extend the life of the carbide teeth and reduce
operating expenses.
^ WARNING
Wear an approved respirator (N95 Type
as a minimum)�
Follow local, state and federal
regulations�
The health effects from exposure to
wood dust are due to chemicals in the
wood or chemical substances in the
wood created by bacteria, fungi, or
molds�
16
5.8 First Time User Tips
Before you begin, make sure the tractor is turned
off and the PTO drive is disengaged.
Stand to the side of the stump grinder and observe
the center point on the bottom of the cutting
wheel. Now sit on the tractor seat and observe the
center point again. This point will appear different
depending on where you are positioned. This can
be very deceiving! Familiarize yourself with the
view of the stump grinder from the tractor seat.
Test all operating functions in an open area with the
tractor at idle speed to get a feel for the controls.
Take your time.
Start with a small stump. Make the rst pass then
disengage the PTO drive and get off the tractor to
see how much you have removed.
Get off the tractor after each pass to check the
progress. The cutting wheel is shielded from view
when sitting on the tractor seat so it is difcult to
accurately determine the progress. The ability to
judge the positioning improves with practice. Do
not expect to get the rst stump done quickly.
^ WARNING
Always turn off the tractor and disengage
the PTO drive before getting off the seat
and approaching the cutting wheel�

people are in the vicinity� Debris can be
thrown several feet from cutting area�
Keep all shields in place�
If the stump is on a grade, position tractor lower on
the grade with the cutting wheel on the stump
grinder higher up the grade.
2. Back the tractor up to the front edge of the
stump (the edge that is closest to the tractor).
^ WARNING
Always turn off the tractor and disengage
the PTO drive before getting off the seat
and approaching the cutting wheel�
3. Disengage tractor PTO. Shut off engine and
remove key.
4. Get off the seat and check the position of the

5. Engage cutting wheel and slowly lower it in
a controlled manor to desired cutting depth.
Always lower cutting wheel behind stump,
never try cutting down, always cut moving
forward.
6. Slowly move into the stump.
7. After a complete pass, move to home position
and lower cutting wheel to desired position for
next pass.
12. Follow the roots, taking as much of the larger
surface roots as possible. If these are not
removed they can, over time, protrude from the
ground in areas where there is a heavy freeze/
thaw cycle.
13. Throttle down the tractor to an idle.
14. Disengage tractor PTO. Shut off engine and
remove key.
^ WARNING
Never approach stump grinder before
cutting wheel has come to a complete
stop�
8. Continue lowering the passes in this manor
until sump is completely removed. Continue
to take passes across the front edge of the
stump, taking 2 - 4 in. (51 - 102 mm) on each
pass.
9. When ground level is reached, continue to
grind 3 - 6 in. (76 - 152 mm) below the surface
to the bottom of the stump where the roots
branch out.
10. Make multiple passes over the front edge of
the stump, taking 2 - 4 in. (51 - 102 mm) on
each pass.
11. Reposition the tractor and stump grinder
as needed until the entire stump has been
removed to below ground level.
