The trailer has a cargo weight rating capacity for the weight of the stump grinder. The combined weight
of the trailer and the stump grinder can not exceed the load capacity of the tires, axles, hitch coupler
system or the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer.
The towing vehicle is rated for and has the towing capabilities to haul the stump grinder package
(includes the stump grinder and a trailer). The towing vehicle must be mechanically sound and capable
of handling the towing job.
The hitch on the towing vehicle and the coupler on the trailer is a perfect match in size, type, and needed
capacity.
Both the towing hitch and the coupler are in good mechanical and wear condition, that they are joined
together securely, and the coupler/hitch is locked in place.
The safety chains have the correct capacity for the equipment being towed.
The safety chains are crossed under the coupler/hitch then securely attached to the towing vehicle. The
safety chains are long enough to not restrict the turning movement, but short enough to not drag on the
road.
The electrical plug-in on the towing vehicle and the trailer are wired for the same functions and they
fit securely together. The plug-in wire is long enough to not restrict the turning movement, but short
enough to not drag on the road. The trailer must have a lighting system and braking system to match
and perform correctly off the towing vehicles system. You must meet the Federal and your States
Department of Transportation Code of Regulations concerning lights, brakes, and highway transit.
The break-away actuator (if equipped) that is installed on the trailer correctly works and is appropriately
attached to the towing vehicle.
All lights and brakes on the trailer correctly functions when activated by the systems in the towing
vehicle.
The tires have been checked for cuts or damaged rims, air pressure is correct, and the axle lug nuts
have been checked for correct torque (refer to trailer manual).
When the stump grinder is on the trailer, the trailer has the right load capacity, the stump grinder is
positioned on the trailer for the correct weight distribution (there should be about 15% of the total stump
grinder package weight on the tongue or hitch), the stump grinder brakes are locked, the cutterwheel is
resting on the trailer bed, and the stump grinder is securely bound down to the trailer bed per your
States binding requirements.
Any loose debris, tools or parts have been cleared off or are put away.
Close and secure any of the following if equipped: tool box, battery box, engine cowl doors and side
panels, radiator debris screens, inspection doors, cabinet doors, housing covers, tank caps and covers,
vise, etc.
Make sure the load ramps are securely stored for transport.
Make sure the stump grinders engine is not running, the ignition key is in your possession, and all
controls are stored correctly and locked in place for transport.
The stump grinder package must be hauled level and the towing vehicle must be sized to handle hitch
weight and towing weight. The towing vehicle or the combination of towing vehicle and towing package
must have enough braking capacity to meet the Federal and your State Department of Transportation
requirements.
The stump grinder package is now ready for transport. Make sure to obey all local regulation and laws
regarding the transporting of this type of machine.
Do not drive too fast for road conditions or exceed speed regulations for equipment towing.

TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURES
BEFORE LOADING OR UNLOADING THE MACHINE INSPECT AND CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING
STEPS: When loading or unloading the self-propelled machine on the trailer, use care and caution. The
maneuvering of the equipment must be slow, smooth, and intentional, not fast and jerky.
1)
Make sure the trailer and towing vehicle are parked on a flat surface. They must be stable on the
surface with the brakes locked and/or the wheels choked to avoid unwanted movement.
2)
Position the loading ramps or loading gate securely between the trailer and the ground level. Have them
located so that they are in line with the tires or tracks of the machine when it moves.
3)
Remove and store the chains and binders used for transporting.
4)
Confirm that there are not any obstacles on the trailer bed, around the trailer that may cause restricted
movement of the machine or the operator.
5)
The only person in the area should be the one that is operating the machine controls, and he/she should
be very experienced with the controls on this machine.
6)
If you are on streets, roads or public areas, position the warning cones etc, per your companys safety policy.
7)
8)
Once the engine is running at as low a speed as possible, carefully raise the cutterwheel slightly up off
the ground or trailer bed. While loading or unloading the stump grinder, the cutterwheel should not be
raised any higher than necessary to just clear whatever is under it. You need to keep the weight center
of gravity as low as possible to avoid tipping the machine while it is moving.
9)
The cutterwheel end of the stump grinder should always be positioned so that it is toward the rear of the
trailer, not the tongue, during transport.
10) When the machine is positioned on the trailer bed, there should be about 15% of the total trailer package
weight on the tongue or hitch.
11) Align the machine with the trailer bed, and the loading ramps. The only equipment movement should be
slowly, straight on or straight off the trailer.
12) With the engine and the machine at as low of speed as possible, move the machine toward the ramp
system. Make sure the alignment is correct throughout the travel, and carefully readjust the cutter
wheel height so that it barely clears obstacles as it is going up or down the ramp system.
13) Properly secure the equipment and the area to avoid any possible accidents or dangers.
14) The trailer should be constructed with appropriate chain down positions for the specific sized stump
grinder. You must have binders that will withstand the strain of the machine trying to move while it is
being transported.
15) The loading ramps or loading gate of the trailer must be constructed to withstand the weight and forces
involved in loading and unloading the machine.

MAINTENANCE SECTION
MAINTENANCE SECTION
The Bandit is a very simple machine to maintain. If you will follow a regular scheduled preventative maintenance
program you should have years of trouble free operation.
DANGER
Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch (if equipped), turn off engine, wait for the cutter head
to come to a complete stop, place cutter head on the ground, switch the battery disconnect to the off position,
and make sure the ignition key is in your possession.
DANGER
Do not let anyone operate or maintain this machine until they have thoroughly read this manual, reviewed the
equipment decals, watched the equipment video, and has been properly trained. You can purchase additional
Bandit manuals, decals and videos for a nominal fee.
NOTICE

PAINT CARE
To help keep up the appearance of your Bandit Equipment and reduce the possibility of surface
rust follow these steps:
1) The machine should be washed on a regular basis with a non-abrasive mild detergent and
then rinsed thoroughly. Do not pressure wash sensitive areas like: decals, gauges,
electronic devices, autofeed control, etc.
2) If a stone chip, paint scratch, or paint crack occurs - it should be repaired immediately.
Simply sand the edges of the damaged paint area, mask off the surrounding area and apply
primer and paint to the dry, clean, and warm surface. This will help keep the damaged area
from spreading or getting worse.
3) If you are unable to sand and mask the area, there are containers of primer and paint
available. A small brush can be used to touch up the area.
4) Also, primer and most colors of paint are available in aerosol spray cans to simply spray
over the effected area after it is cleaned, dry, and warmed. This method is not as reliable as
the process in step #2.
It is also reported that some equipment owners polish their machine at least yearly, and keep good
mud flaps on their towing trucks.

GEAR BOX
Before attempting any type of maintenance disengage clutch (if equipped), turn off engine, wait for the cutter
head to come to a complete stop, turn the battery disconnect to the off position, and make sure the ignition key
is in your possession.
IMPORTANT: Too much oil in the gear box may be an indication that an oil seal on a pump has failed
and must be replaced.
8) Check oil level.
IMPORTANT: The oil should be changed anytime it shows traces of dirt, contamination by other fluids
or the effects of high temperature evidenced by discoloration or strong odor.
Under no circumstances should the gear box oil go unchanged for more than 6 months.
Condensation may contaminate the oil reducing its effectiveness.
Change oil after the first 100 hours of service or 6 months, whichever comes first. Then, change oil every
2000 hours of service or 6 months whichever comes first.
1) Run the gear box until the lubricating oil is warm.
2) Be sure the gear box is level and the machine is on level ground.
3) Lower all equipment to the ground.
4) Stop engine before servicing gear box and follow all pre-maintenance shut down procedures.
5) Block the machine so that it can not move.
6) Clean around the oil drain, fill, and check locations.
7) Look for oil leaks and damage.
8) Place a container that is large enough to hold all of the oil in the gear box under the drain location
(approximately 4.5 quarts or 4.23 L).
9) Remove drain plug.
10) Look for metal particles on the magnetic end of drain plug.
11) Clean and replace drain plug.
12) Remove the fill plug and breather as an assembly.
13) Remove the oil level check plug.
14) Clean, inspect, and check the breather for function.
NOTE: The breather should allow pressure to vent inside the gear case as it heats and cools while
keeping out dirt and water.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill. Too much oil will cause the gear box to overheat.
15) Refill the gear case to proper level using 85W/90 type gear lube (approximately 4.5 quarts or 4.23 L).
Lube will run out of the oil level check port when filled to the proper level. Also, check level with dipstick.
16) Replace the oil level check plug
17) Replace the fill plug and breather assembly.
18) Operate the gear box for several minutes. Look for oil leaks and listen for unusual sounds.

WARNING
High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury, gangrene, or death.
If injured, seek emergency medical help. Immediate surgery is required to remove
oil. DO NOT use fingers or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic
pressure before loosening fittings.
WARNING
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!
This machine is equipped with Petro-Canada Hydrex XV hydraulic fluid. It is recommended to replace with
the same. Petro-Canada Hydrex XV is an all season hydraulic fluid. This is a premium performance, long life
antiwear, hydraulic fluid, designed for all season use in heavy duty hydraulic systems. Petro-Canada Hydrex XV
allows year round use under wide extremes of temperature. It allows the hydraulic system to start at temperatures
as low as -40C/-40F, under no load conditions and it improves lubrication of hydraulic components at high
operating temperatures. It will also help protect against hydraulic failures during the wide temperature swings
of spring and fall. To find the closest Petro-Canada Hydrex XV dealer call 1-888-284-4572.
Multi Viscosity motor oils are not recommended to mix with Petro-Canada Hydrex XV hydraulic oil. AW oils
may mix with Petro-Canada Hydrex XV hydraulic oil. The following are specifications and authorizations of
compatible oils. Only a high quality anti-wear (AW) hydraulic oil containing foam, corrosion, rust and oxidation
inhibitors should be used. This viscosity grade depends on the oil temperature in service, based on the climate
and operating conditions.

Note: The above chart is a suggested guide for viscosity of hydraulic fluids at start up ambient
temperature. The load, demand, and cleanliness of the equipment will affect actual oil
temperatures which can increase dramatically above ambient air temperatures during operation.
The actual viscosity needed is based on oil temperature during operation and not air temperature.
Compare your fluid specifications with the specifications below to verify compliance.
When choosing a hydraulic fluid - these maximum and minimum specifications must be met:
Hydraulic fluids vary in their resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures, their ability to
protect against metal-to-metal contact under increasing temperature, and their ability to separate
water from the fluid. Viscosity is temperature dependant. Fluids with high viscosity-index (VI)
will thin out slower at higher temperature and thicken slower at colder temperatures allowing
a wider operating range. Choose a fluid that has test results in these areas for best results.
Based on the varying temperatures of the area where Bandit equipment is used, and the high
demand and loads placed on this equipment, Bandit has filled each hydraulic system with
Petro-Canadas Hydrex XV All Season Hydraulic Fluid for maximum protection and performance.

WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine
and recheck all hydraulic fittings. Retighten as needed.
DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury,
gangrene, or death. Avoid burns from fluid. Hot fluid under pressure can cause severe burns. DO NOT use
fingers or skin to check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings. Relieve all
pressure in the system before disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other work. Use a piece of cardboard
to find 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.
