Position the engage handle in the disengaged
position and start the engine. Let the engine
warm up at 1000 RPM’s. (Follow engine manual
information.) The machine may show signs of
vibration until the engine can brought up to full
throttle. Theengine causes most of this vibration
until it is brought up to full throttle. Engage
belt/clutch, if applicable.
Oncetheengineisproperlywarmedup,bringthe
engine to full throttle. (Follow engine break-in
procedures.)
Make sure to wear all personal protection
equipment and follow all safety standards per
ANSI and OSHA instructions. Examples of
equipment: hard hat, face shield, safety glasses,
gloves, ear protection, etc.
Never grind any materials that might contain
wires, stones, nails, or other metal objects which
may damage the teeth and become dangerous
projectiles. Remove all rocks and stones from
stump grinding area.
DANGER
Do Not start to grind a stump unless you are
completely sure there are not any power lines,
water lines, sewer lines, phone lines, etc. in the
area above or below ground level where you are
grinding.
Nevergo near cutterwheel or teethwhile engine
is running or cutter wheel is coasting to a stop.
DANGER
DANGER
Before starting the machine, take a minute to
check a few things. The grinder should be in an
area restricted from people passing by. This area
around the grinder must be free of all objects that
can obstruct movement when working with the
grinder. The machine should be checkedforloose
tools or foreign objects, especially in the grinding
area. All tools not in use should be secured in a
tool box.
Operators must at all times be located within
easy reach of all feed control and shut-off devices
when the unit is running. They must be attentive
and prepared to activate the devices.
Before attempting any type of maintenance
disengageclutch, turnoffengine,wait forthecutter

wheellockpin,disconnectbattery, and make sure
the ignition key is in your possession.
ALWAYS install the lock pin into the cutter lock
tube before working on the grinder.
Simply slide the lock pin into the cutter wheel
lock tube. This is to insure that the cutter wheel
cannot be started while you are working on the
grinder. If for some reason thecutter wheel would
start to turn, it would simply hit the lock pin.
DANGER

severe injury.
DANGER
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 must be checked
periodically such as cutter teeth bolts, etc. for
torqueandt.
Most of the nutsused on the Bandit Grinderare
self locking.After a nut or bolt has been removed
vetimes,itshouldbereplacedtoinsureproper
tightness. This is especially critical on the cutter
tooth bolts!
After the engine is started, let the cuter 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.

wheel to come to a complete stop, install the cutter
wheel lock pin, disconnect battery, and make sure the
ignition key is in your possession.
ALWAYS install the lock pin into the cutter lock tube
before working on the grinder.
Simply slide the lock pin into the cutter wheel lock
tube. This is to insure that the cutter wheel cannot
be started while you are working on the grinder. If for
some reason the cutter wheel would start to turn, it
would simply hit the lock pin.
DO NOT operate this machine indoors! Exhaust
fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine is
running. Never refuel in the shop or building. Always
refuel in a well ventilated area, away from sparks or
open ames, DO NOT SMOKE. Extinguish all smoking
materials. Wipeup allspilledfuel before restartingthe
engine. Do not ll above 1/2” (12.7 mm) from top of
tank.
To obtain the most from your machine, for the least
amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up and follow
ascheduledpreventativemaintenanceprogram. Itwill
eliminate many possible problems and down time.
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 must 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 insure proper tightness. This
is especially critical on the cutter tooth bolts!
After the engine is started, let the grinder disc turn
at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type of
noisethatisforeign. Anysteelonsteelnoiseisforeign.
If you hear a noise, stop the engine, nd the problem
and x it.
Never use jumper cables during freezing
temperatures. Haul the machine inside and allow
the battery time to warm up. If the machine must
be started outside, inspect the battery acid for ice
formation. Explosion will occur with a frozen battery.
If the machine is going to be operated in excessively
cold conditions, a larger cold cranking amp battery
may be needed to insure proper and prompt starting.
Never use jumper cables in a conned or unventilated
area. Battery acid fumes are explosive. Battery acid
can cause severe burns. Never expose an open ame
or spark near the battery. Keep all burning materials
away from the battery. When servicing the battery,
shield eyes and face, and do not smoke. Service in a
well ventilated area.
NEVER sit, stand, lay, climb or ride anywhere
on this machine while it is running, operating, or in
transit. You will be injured.
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. DO NOT use ngers or
skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressure before loosening ttings. Use a piece of
cardboard to nd leaks. Never use your bare hands.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system
idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system
towarmuptooperatingtemperature. Avoidburnsfrom
uid. Hot uid under pressure can cause severe burns.
Relieveallpressureinthesystembeforedisconnecting
the lines, hoses or performing other work. Allow system
to cool down to ambient temperature before opening
any coolant or hydraulic oil system.
Do not go near or in-line with the debris eld of
the stump grinder while in operation. While grinding
stumps, the chips and portions of the stump y from
the cutterhead and can cause severe injury.
DO NOT operate this machine unless all hydraulic
control devices operate properly. They must function,
shift and position smoothly and accurately at all times.
Faulty controls can cause personal injury!

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its
constituents are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects,
and other reproductive harm.
SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never grind any materials that might contain wires,
stones, nails, or other metal objects which may damage
the teeth and become dangerous projectiles. Remove
all rocks and stones from stump grinding area.
Do Not start to grind a stump unless you are
completely sure there are not any power lines, water
lines, sewer lines, phone lines, etc. in the area above
or below ground level where you are grinding.
Never go near cutter wheel or teeth while engine is
running or cutter wheel is coasting to a stop.
Your machine may or may not be equipped with
a clutch. Depending on the options ordered, some
machines are direct drive.
Do not work on the machine if the engine is running
with the clutch disengaged. A clutch can self engage
if either the pilot or throw-out bearing happens to seize
to the main output shaft.
There are various types of clutches (PTO’s)
available for this type of equipment. Make sure to
study the original clutch manufacturer’s manual that
isprovidedwith the machineandfollow its instructions
for operation, service, and adjustments. Some styles
require clutch engagement to be maintained so that it
takes a lot of force, others will require very little force,
and some are push button, electric, manual lever, or
hydraulic activation. Each different style clutch (PTO)
is a very expensive item that will fail if not correctly
maintained and adjusted. It will be quite costly if a
few minutes are not taken daily, weekly, and monthly
to keep the clutch serviced as required.
The operator must take care in the engagement
and disengagement of the clutch, engine RPM should
always be below 1000 RPM. When the engine has
sufciently warmed up, bump the clutch handle against
engagement to start the cutter wheel turning. This will
have to be repeated until the cutter wheel is turning at
proper ratio with engine RPM. Then push the handle
all the way in gear until it locks into position securely.
After engagement raise engine RPM to full throttle.
Engaging and disengaging the clutch at high engine
RPM will quickly and excessively wear out clutch plates
as well as bearings. Refer to clutch manufacturer’s
manual for proper service and operation.
Do not attempt to start the engine or engage the
engine PTO (power-take-off) system on this machine
if the cutter wheel is jammed or frozen in place. If you
do, you will damage or ruin the drive belts and/or the
PTO which will not be covered under warranty and will
cost you down time and money.
