1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of a Baumalight Skid Steer Stump Grinder to complement your stump grinding operation. This
equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet the needs of a discriminating buyer for efficient grinding of stumps.
This new and unique design allows us to build it very economically and makes it a very compact unit for storage and transport. The
self feeding design of the frame and enhanced visibility make the stump grinder easy and efficient to operate. Hydraulic controls
are easy to adjust and operate from most skid steer loaders.
The debris shield is standard equipment on all stump grinders. It is recommended that the stump grinder never be operated with
out one.
Safe, efficient and trouble free operation of your Stump Grinder requires that you and anyone else who will be operating or
maintaining the Stump Grinder, read and understand the Safety, Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting information
contained within the Operator’s Manual.
This manual covers the Baumalight Skid Steer Stump Grinder,
models S14 and S18. Use the Table of Contents as a guide to
locate required information.
Keep this manual handy for frequent reference and to pass
on to new operators or owners. Call your Baumalight dealer,
distributor or the factory if you need assistance, information or
additional copies of the manuals.
OPERATOR ORIENTATION - The directions left, right, front and
rear, as mentioned throughout this manual, are as seen from
