Operation
Stopping The Machine
DUE TO HIGH SPEED LOW-FRICTION ROTATION,
THE CUTTING WHEEL MAY CONTINUE TO ROTATE
UNNOTICED, EVEN AFTER THE ON/OFF SWITCH
HAS BEEN FLIPPED OFF, AND EVEN AFTER THE
ENGINE HAS STOPPED. BE SURE THE CUTTING
WHEEL COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE
MOVING THE MACHINE OR LEAVING THE
CONTROLS!
1. When stopping the machine after normal operation,
lower the engine speed to SLOW, and cycle each of
the hydraulic controls slowly for about 30 seconds each
to help the hydraulic com po nents to cool slowly.
2. Flip the cutting wheel ON/OFF Switch down to the OFF
position, stopping the cutting wheel rotation.
3. Stop the cutting wheel rotation quickly by gently lowering
the cutting wheel into the soil.
4. Reduce the engine speed.
