5. Refueling
1) Before removing gas cap, turn engine off and allow to cool for at least two minutes. Note: A running or hot engine can ignite fuel.
2) Remove grinder gasoline cap.
3) Add gasoline through the fill opening:
- Use only an UL-approved portable gasoline container to transfer the gasoline to the grinder’s
tank.
- Be aware of safety warning and instructions below for avoiding static electric caused fires.
WARNING:
Static electric spark hazard
A static electric spark can explosively ignite gasoline vapor, resulting in a flash fire that could cause serious injury or death.
See “Special Safety Information on Static Electricity” at end of
this manual.
4) Clean up gasoline spills /splashes immediately.
If possible, move the grinder away from spilled gasoline on
the ground.
Wipe up spilled gasoline, and wait 5 minutes for excess
gasoline to evaporate before starting engine.
Gasoline soaked rags are flammable and should be disposed
of properly.
If gasoline is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes
and wash skin immediately.
5) Replace gasoline cap securely before starting engine.
6) Store extra gasoline in a cool, dry place in an UL-approved, tightly sealed container.
7) Filling towable units or portable containers at service stations:
Even if you have a towable unit, avoid static electric sparking while filling the gasoline tank:
Never fill the grinder’s gas tank directly from the fuel pump. The grinder’s tank
is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static electricity build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gas to the grinder’s tank.
Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. This is preferred
because it dissipates static charge to ground more readily.
Never fill a portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer,
trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be filled.
Keep nozzle in contact with container while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.

if the grinder’s gas tank is empty. Residual gasoline could ignite.
Away from extreme high or low temperatures.
Cover it for extra protection.
WARNING:
If stump grinder is left in direct sunlight and exposed to extreme temperatures fuel hoses can degrade rapidly.
Remove key
Remove key from starter and secure key in a safe location, or remove spark plug, in order to ensure the grinder cannot be started in a storage
location or by untrained persons or children.
Start grinder every 4 weeks
The grinder should be started regularly. At least every four weeks, start
the engine and let it run for 10 to 15 minutes.
Monthly exercising of the grinder will dry out any moisture that has accumulated, lubricate cylinders, and clean out old gas in the carburetor. Moisture, old gas, and dry mechanical parts cause deterioration in stored engines.
Operation (cont’d)
19
Prepare engine for long term (seasonal) storage if needed
If you will not be able to start the grinder regularly, you must prepare the engine for long term storage to prevent gum deposits from forming
and causing malfunction of the engine.
Prepare engine for long term storage by:
o Removing all gasoline from the tank and carburetor
OR
o Adding fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (following manufacturer’s
instructions)
Fuel stabilizer steps:
1. Ensure gas tank is full.
2. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank.
3. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow it to enter the fuel system.
4. Shut off engine
5. Disconnect spark plug wire and remove spark plug
6. Add one teaspoon oil through spark plug hole
7. Place rag over spark plug hole and turn starter (or pull the
recoil) a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
8. Replace spark plug, but do not reconnect the spark plug wire.
WARNING: Gasoline fire/explosion hazard
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Drain the fuel into an approved container OUTDOORS and far away from open flame. NEVER store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact with
static electric sparks
sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or running engines
sources of heat (such as a hot engine or exhaust)

Note: New belts require a “break-in” period of approximately 10 hours. Readjustment may be necessary after “break-in.” Note: Use only factory recommended belts. Contact your Dosko dealer.
Stop-Switch Adjustment
CAUTION:
Never attempt to alter, modify or override this switch.
If Stop-switch ever needs to be replaced or adjusted follow the below directions.
1. Loosen Hex Nut.
2. Turn the Linkage Bolt clockwise to lower or
counter-clockwise to raise the point of interaction with Stop Switch. To set the proper interaction distance, grip the Operator Presence Bar & Handle Bar together and lower the Linkage Bolt onto the Switch Button until the switch button cannot be depressed any further. Then raise the linkage bolt one turn (counterclockwise).
3. Tighten Hex Nut.
4. Verify operability of stop switch before
operating machine by releasing the operator presence bar next to the handle bar. You
should hear a “CLICK”, signifying that the
Linkage Bolt has been adjusted properly.
Setting Teeth
Among the most critical elements of the stump grinder is the cutting blade. It is also the most subject to damage and wear. In the course of grinding stumps it not only makes contact with the wood, but also encounters numerous abrasives and objects in the stumps environment, such as dirt, stones, large rocks and buried scrap. The loss and wear of cutting teeth can significantly impair the efficiency and performance of the stump grinder. Therefore, it is important to make frequent inspections of the condition of all the cutting teeth and to sharpen or replace any damaged or worn teeth. Sharpening the teeth before excessive wear will result in longer lasting teeth and better performance.
Setting Teeth
Installing pockets
1. Locate the straight teeth and pockets on your wheel.
2. Remove one set of straight teeth and pockets.
3. Clean this area with a wire brush.
4. Start with a counterbored pocket. Counterbored pockets have non-threaded big
holes. They go on the right-hand side of the wheel as you face the wheel.

Install two low-pro pocket bolts into the counterbored pocket holes.
5. Apply anti-seize onto the threaded position of the low-pro pocket bolt.
6. Slide the counterbored pocket and low-pro pocket bolts through the holes in
the wheel from the right side and thread them into the threaded holes in the threaded pocket. Firm up the low-pro pocket bolts until pockets are firm on the wheel. Do not tighten then down yet.
7. Rotate the wheel until you come to the next set of straight teeth.
Repeat steps 2 – 6.
8. Next, replace the angle pockets (angles curve away from the wheel).
9. Remove one set at a time or all old angle teeth and pockets at once. Clean the
wheel with a wire brush.
10. Install your low-pro pocket bolt through the holes in the counterbored pocket.
Apply anti-seize. Slide the low-pro pocket bolts through the holes in the wheel. Make sure the counterbored pocket is on the right hand side of the wheel. Insert the low-pro pocket bolts into the threaded pockets and tighten the pockets firmly onto the wheel. Repeat this step until all your standard angles pockets are installed.
Installing teeth
1. If all the counterbored pockets are on the right hand side of the wheel, your
tooth will go into your pocket properly. If your pockets are mounted upside down, the teeth will have a tendency to spin freely or be sloppy in the pocket. You will know this by looking at them.
2. Install your teeth with the carbide facing down. The shoulder of the tooth will
meet the flat detent of the pocket and the tooth will not rotate. Thread nut onto the top portion of the tooth. Hand tighten for now. Repeat until all teeth are installed.
Torque
1. Torque the low-pro pocket bolts to 180 – 240 ft lbs (245 – 325 Nm).
2. You will notice the slotted end of the low-pro pocket bolt is about 1/8” (3 mm)
short of the end of the threaded pocket. This is okay. This area will fill with dirt and protect the extraction slot at the end of the low-pro pocket bolt. If you need the slot, clean out the packed dirt and use the slot to turn out the broken bolt.
3. To torque your tooth down, tighten the top lock nut to 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm), until
the tooth is firmly seated. Double check that the tooth is firmly seated. Do not over tighten. Over tightening the nut will stretch the threads and make it impossible to ever tighten again.
4. Once the low-pro pocket bolts, teeth and nuts are seated and torqued properly,
cut a few stumps. Recheck bolts and nuts to make sure they are tight and secure. Recheck frequently for the first week of use and once a week thereafter.
When you dull or damage a cutting edge, loosen the top nut, tap the tooth down, rotate the tooth a third of a turn and tighten back up.

Special Safety Information on Static Electricity
30
Static electricity and filling gasoline:
Static electricity can initiate from ungrounded gasoline tanks or containers, from flowing
gasoline, and from persons carrying a static electric charge
Static electricity on numerous occasions has explosively ignited gasoline vapors that were present during fueling processes, resulting in serious burns to nearby persons. To avoid static electricity while fueling, certain steps must be followed before and during the fueling process in order to minimize and safely dissipate static charge build-up.
Filling Portable Containers at Service Stations: Use a portable container to fill grinder tank. Never fill the grinder’s gas tank directly from the service
station’s fuel dispenser pump – the grinder’s tank is not grounded and the high velocity flow of gasoline from a fuel pump can cause static electric build-up. Use an approved portable container to transfer gasoline to the grinder’s tank.
Use a portable container made of metal or conductive plastic. It will dissipate charge to ground
more readily.
Fill container on the ground. Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a
vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pick-up truck bed. ALWAYS place container on the ground to be filled.
Touch a grounded metal object before starting. Always dissipate static charge from your body
before beginning the fueling process by touching a grounded metal object at a safe distance away from fuel sources.
Keep nozzle in contact with container. Keep fuel dispenser nozzle in contact with the portable
container at all times while filling at a service station. Do not use the nozzle lock-open device on the dispenser hose.
About static electricity and fueling Many common objects can accumulate and retain a static electric charge. Objects made of non­conductive materials (e.g. plastics) easily accumulate and retain static electric charge, as can objects made of conductive material (e.g. metal, water) if they are not electrically grounded. The static electric charge on an object, such as a human body or plastic fuel tank/container, can reach as high as several thousand volts!
A static electric spark can be generated if the static electric charge stored on an object “jumps” to
another, less charged object. Such a spark can ignite invisible gasoline vapors that are present during fueling situations.
Typical sources of static electric hazards during fueling The following objects can accumulate a static electric charge and cause an ignition spark in typical fueling situations:
Ungrounded tanks/containers. Any ungrounded fuel tank or container can accumulate a static
electric charge as a result of contact with other objects or friction during transportation. This static electricity can discharge as a spark to the grounded gasoline dispenser nozzle, as the nozzle is first brought close to the tank/container at the beginning of the fueling process.
Flowing gasoline. Most people are not aware that gasoline accumulates static electric charge while
flowing through a hose or pipe. This charge then transfers to and accumulates in the gas tank or container that is being filled. The total amount of charge accumulation depends on the amount of gas pumped into the container, the speed with which it is pumped, and whether or not the tank/container is grounded. If sufficient static electric charge accumulates in the fuel tank or container during the fueling process, the tank/container may discharge a spark to the grounded gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Persons. A person dispensing the gasoline can carry a static electric charge on their body, typically
resulting from contact with their car seat or electronics. The static electricity can discharge as a spark between that person’s hand and either the grounded dispenser nozzle or the fuel tank opening.
