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 3P24 has 34 teeth on a 24 in. cutter and
models 3P34 and 3P40 have 54 teeth on a 34
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 with the swing and lift cylinders
activated by the standard remote hydraulic
connectors on the tractor.
Grease zerks and replaceable brass bushings 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.
When this machine is worn out and no longer in
use, it should be returned to the retailer or other
party for recycling.

4.3 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 stump grinder to tractor but do not
attach driveline.
2. Raise grinder until the input shaft is level with
tractor PTO shaft.
3. Measure dimension (A) between locking
grooves on tractor PTO shaft and grinder 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:
12
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.

5.8 Carbide Teeth Break-In
5.9 First Time User Tips
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.
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.
^ 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
moulds.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEMCHECKSOLUTION
Cutting wheel does not spin.Cutting wheel jammed.Remove material from cutting wheel.
Verify PTO drive line is connected properly.Connect drive line to tractor.
Slip clutch is slipping.Remove jam from cutting wheel.
Cutting wheel does not have much power.Slip clutch is slipping.Check to determine if the slip clutch is
hot. Use Caution: This Can Be Very Hot! A
hot clutch does NOT grip.
Slippage on the clutch occurs if there is
more power than the unit is rated for:
Model 3P24 is rated for 20-60 hp input.
Model 3P34 is rated for 50-80 hp input.
A bigger tractor can be used if it is idled
down as this will decrease the output
power of the engine.
Take smaller passes (less cutting) to
decrease the strain on the clutch.
Turn the flow control knob to a lower
number (1) to reduce the strain on the
slip clutch.
Be careful when tightening the tension
setting on the slip clutch as this could
put excess strain on the gear box.
Tractor is not able to lift 3-point.Tractor is too small.Move link pins to the top position on the
stump grinder to add leverage.
Cutting wheel cannot be lifted high enough.Stump too tall.Cut stump shorter.
Shorten top link on 3-point hitch.
Cutting wheel cannot be lowered far enough.Top link not correct length.Lengthen top link on 3-point hitch.
No movement on cylinders.No oil flow.Check for plugged or reversed hydraulic
lines.
