Chapter 3: Operating The DR STUMP GRINDER
It may be helpful to better familiarize yourself with the features of your Stump
Grinder by reviewing Figure 1 in Chapter 2 before beginning the steps outlined
in this chapter.
Control Levers
1.
Familiarize yourself with all of the Control Levers and their functions before
operating the Stump Grinder (Figure 9).
Starting the Engine (Manual Start)
2.
Turn the Ignition Switch to the “ON” position (Figure 10) (6HP only).
3.
Make sure the Fuel Shut-off is in the “OPEN” position (Figure 11).
4.
Move the Choke Control Lever to the left to the choke position (leave in the
run position to the right if the engine is already warm).
NOTE: The Operator Presence Lever must be held down for the Engine to start and
continue running. If you need to stop the machine quickly for any reason,
let go of the Operator Presence Lever.
5.
Hold down the Operator Presence Lever and slowly pull the Starter Cord
until you feel resistance, then pull quickly. The Cord will recoil back into
position.
6.
As the engine warms up, slowly adjust the Choke to the right towards the
run position. Wait until the engine runs smoothly before each Choke
adjustment.
7.
When the Engine is warmed up and running smoothly, ensure that the
Choke is fully in the run position to the right.
Starting the Engine (Electric Start)
1.
Make sure the Fuel Shut-off is in the “OPEN” position (Figure 11).
2.
Move the Choke Control Lever to the left to the choke position (leave in the
run position to the right if the engine is already warm).
NOTE: The Operator Presence Lever must be held down for the Engine to start and
continue running. If you need to stop the machine quickly for any reason,
let go of the Operator Presence Lever.
