STUMP GRINDER
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Main-
tenance requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However, it is very
important that these maintenance functions be performed as described below.
WARNING! Avoid serious injury. Lower the stump grinder to the ground, set the
parking brake, stop the skid-steer engine and remove the key before
leaving the operator’s seat. If unit must be left raised for maintenance
block the unit securely to prevent accidental release of the lifting
mechanism. Disconnect the hydraulic couplers.
DAILY
• Check skid-steer loader hydraulic system to ensure an adequate level of hydraulic oil.
• Check Gearbox castle nut and torque to min. 250 - max. 350 ft. lbs.
• Check mounting hardware on teeth and torque to min. 150- max. 180 ft. lbs.
• Check all other hardware and tighten if necessary. See Section O
• Check hydraulic system for hydraulic oil leaks.
• Check Gearbox power shaft for foreign material wrapped around the shaft and
remove if necessary.
• Check teeth for damage and replace as needed.
• Check all Safety Guards and Devices are installed correctly.
• Check for missing or illegible Safety / Warning Decals.
WARNING! Escaping uid under pressure can have sufcient force to penetrate
the skin causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very
small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood,
rather that hands to search for suspected leaks.
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far
away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic
uid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected uid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not
familiar with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to
determine proper treatment.
EVERY 40 HOURS
