when working with the grinder. The machine should be
checked for loose 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
reachof allfeedcontrolandshut-offdevices whenthe
unit is running. They must be attentive and prepared
to activate the devices.
Torn or loose clothing is more likely to get caught in
moving machinery parts. Keep such items as long hair,

DANGER
The words Danger, Warning, Caution, and
Notice are used on the safety decals and throughout
this manual, to make you aware of the safety
procedures. These procedures are very important,
read and obey them.
YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US!
This machine is equipped with safety decals, guards
and designs for your protection.
Don’t ever take the machine for granted, always
be cautious and careful when operating your
equipment.
Read and follow all the instructions in your
manual thoroughly. Your safety is dependent on
your knowledge of how to operate and maintain this
machine. You may obtain additional copies of this
manual from your Bandit Dealer.
Before operating machine, you must have all potential
operators; read and understand manuals and decals,
watch the video and follow the recommendations.
Regardless of how hard a manufacturer tries to
produce a safe machine, accidents still happen.
Normally accidents are caused by people making
mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore
warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for
their safety. This normally happens after the person
has become accustomed to the machinery. In the
initial start up and operation of the machinery, they
are cautious, they are very careful because they do
not understand the machine.
This equipment is intended for use by personnel
who are experienced with similar equipment. Always
operate safely. It is also recommended that someone
else is present while operating or servicing in case an
accident should occur. Never operate any machine
while under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of
working area. Never operate equipment that is in
need of repair or adjustment.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
Before attempting any type of maintenance
disengage clutch, turn off engine, wait for the cutter
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. Wipe up all spilled fuel before
restarting the 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
ascheduled preventativemaintenanceprogram. It will
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. Anysteelon steelnoiseis foreign.
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.
Never use jumper cables in a conned or unventilated
area. Battery acid fumes are explosive. Never expose
an open ame or spark near the battery.
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
to warm up to operating temperature.
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,
shiftand positionsmoothlyandaccuratelyat alltimes.
Faulty controls can cause personal injury!

SAFETY PROCEDURES
Never grind any materials that might contain wires,
stones, nails, or other metal objects which may
damagetheteeth andbecome dangerousprojectiles.
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
withthe clutchdisengaged. Aclutch canself engageif
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
is provided withthe machine and followits 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
hydraulicactivation. Each differentstyle 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
engagementto startthecutter wheelturning. 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
PTOwhichwill notbe coveredunderwarrantyand will
cost you down time and money.
