WARNING
!
It is very important after you have operated a
new machine for approximately an hour to shut
down the machine and recheck all nuts and
bolts. It is normal for nuts and bolts to loosen
once on a new piece of machinery. If you tighten
them now, there is a good possibility they won’t
loosen again. Certain nuts and bolts should be
checked periodically such as cutter teeth bolts,
etc.fortorqueandt.
Most of the nuts used on the Bandit Grinder
are self locking. After a nut or bolt has been
removed ve times, it should be replaced to
ensure proper tightness.  This is especially
critical on the cutter tooth bolts!
After the engine is started, let the grinder
wheel turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen
for any type of noise that is foreign. Any steel
on steel noise is foreign. If you hear a noise,
stoptheengine,ndtheproblemandxit.
It is very important after you have operated a
new machine for approximately an hour to shut
down the machine and recheck all hydraulic
ttings.Retightenasneeded.
 DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS!
High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing
serious injury, gangrene, or death. Avoid burns
fromuid.Hotuidunderpressurecancause
severeburns.DONOTusengersorskinto
check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressurebeforelooseningttings.Relieveall
pressure in the system before disconnecting
thelines,hoses,orperformingotherwork.Use
apieceofcardboardtondleaks.Neveruse
your bare hands. Allow system to cool down
to ambient temperature before opening any
coolant or hydraulic oil system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic
system idle for approximately 15 minutes to
allow the system to warm up to operating
temperature.
Before attempting any type of maintenance
allow cutter head to come to a complete
stop, position cutter head in a horizontal
position with its stand setting on the ground,
disconnect battery to the skid steer, and make
sure the ignition key to the skid steer is in your
possession.
Follow all safety, maintenance, and operation
procedures in the skid steer operator’s manual,
including how to attach and disconnect
implement attachments.
WARNING
!
Operators must cordon off an area 100
feet from the grinding location to help reduce
the risk of contact with flying debris. In
close environments a debris barrier must be
deployed to help restrict the spread of ying
debris. Barriers must be of sufficient size
and thickness to contain flying debris; it is
the operator’s responsibility to evaluate each
grinding environment thoroughly to determine
barrier needs.
DANGER
!
Do Not enter or exit the operator’s cab unless:
the cutter head has come to a complete stop,
the cutter head is in a horizontal position with
its stand setting on the ground, and the ignition
key is in the operator’s possession.
DANGER
!
Do Not operate the cutter head unless the skid
steer has shatter proof safety glass, window
guards, and operator guards installed.
DANGER
!
Avoid moving parts. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing away from power driven parts. Keep
all guards and shields in place and properly
secured.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as cutter
teethbolts,etc.fortorqueandt.
Most of the nuts used on the Bandit Grinder are
self locking. After a nut or bolt has been removed
vetimes, itshould bereplaced to ensureproper
tightness. This is especially critical on the cutter
tooth bolts!
After the engine is started, let the grinder tooth turn
at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type
of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is
foreign.Ifyouhearanoise,stoptheengine,nd
theproblemandxit.
It is very important after you have operated a new

 DONOTGONEARHYDRAULICLEAKS!High
pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious
injury,gangrene,ordeath.Avoidburnsfromuid.
Hotuidunderpressurecancausesevereburns.
DONOTusengersorskintocheckforleaks.Lower
load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening
ttings.Relieve all pressureinthesystembefore
disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other
work.Useapieceofcardboardtondleaks.Never
use your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to
ambient temperature before opening any coolant or
hydraulic oil system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic
system idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow
the system to warm up to operating temperature.
