About the Stump Grinder
The Extreme Duty Stump Grinder attachment is intended for use in stump grinding. Use if this equipment in any other manner is considered to be contrary to the intended use of the attachment.
Grinders
Blue Diamond Stump Grinder attachments are a
necessity for tree companies, landscapers,
agricultural producers and rental companies
looking to increase their productivity and efficiency
when stump grinding.
The Blue Diamond Extreme Duty Stump Grinder is
designed by people with years of experience with
attachments for machinery. You can be sure that the
quality of the Stump Grinder is our first priority.
The Extreme Duty Stump Grinder has been designed to
deliver the productivity of a dedicated machine, but it costs
four to five times less. The Extreme Duty Stump Grinder is
the only stump grinder in the industry with a cushioned
parallelogram mechanism for drivetrain protection and dual-
direction cutting. A radial piston motor for maximum
productivity and proven Greenteeth® technology are just a
few features that combine to bring you the world’s finest
stump grinder!

Attaching the Stump Grinder to the Prime Mover
NOTE
Before attempting to attach the Stump
Grinder to the prime mover, verify that all
hydraulic couplers are compatible.
CAUTION
Hydraulics should operate in an even
and smooth manner. Hydraulic
movement that is not even and smooth
may indicate that air is in the hydraulic
lines.
WARNING
Improper attachment to the prime mover
may cause personal injury.
CAUTION
All hydraulic connections must be clean
and free of debris before making any
connection.
WARNING
Improper disconnection may result in
personal injury or damage to the
attachment and prime mover.
CAUTION
All hydraulic connections must be clean
and free of debris before disconnection
NOTE
Hydraulic connections must be
disconnected before disengaging latches
to prevent damage to the prime mover or
the attachment.
1. Place the Stump Grinder attachment on a level surface.
2. Position and align the prime mover to the rear of the
attachment, within proximity of the front of prime mover.
3. Insert and connect the prime mover into the
attachment.
4. Connect the hydraulic lines from the attachment to the
prime mover.
5. Close latches (or other locking mechanism) to secure
the attachment to the prime mover.
6. Using the prime mover, raise the attachment and move
the attachment to ensure hydraulic lines are clear of air
and operate properly.
7. Lower the attachment to ground level.
8. Route hoses away from pinch areas – install cable ties
if necessary to assure extended hose life.
9. Inspect that the attachment is mounted properly and
securely. If the attachment does not meet this
requirement, follow the instructions to remove the
Stump Grinder and re-attach using the instructions
above.
1. Using the prime mover, lower the attachment to the
ground.
2. Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system by
following these instructions:
a. Turn the ignition to off.
b. Turn the ignition back to the on position
without starting the machine.
c. Move the auxiliary hydraulic function lever back
and forth to relieve the pressure in the hydraulic
lines (this will greatly assist you when hooking the
unit back up so that the hydraulic couplers
connect easily).
3. Disconnect the hydraulic connection between the
attachment and the prime mover. To prevent
contamination, remove any dirt and debris from the
couplers.
4. Disengage the prime mover latches (or other
locking mechanism) from the Stump Grinder.
5. Remove the prime mover from the attachment.

Operation
NOTE
Replace any damaged hardware, hoses
and fittings before using the equipment.
WARNING
Do not use hands to check for hydraulic
leaks. Keep body parts away from the
leaking hydraulic lines and couplers that
are under pressure.
DANGER
Keep all body parts away from the Stump
Grinder when in use. The pivoting blade
is dangerous and hazardous and could
potentially cause serious bodily injury or
death.
CAUTION
Always be aware of what is overhead
when operating the Stump Grinder
Inspection Checklist
✓ Are all safety notices and warning
stickers in proper locations and
visible?
✓ Are there any visible hydraulic
leaks?
✓ Are any cracks visible in structure
of the grinder?
✓ Is the cutting wheel bent?
✓ Are bolts holding teeth secure
and tight?
✓ Has the prime mover been
properly inspected for hydraulic
leaks and proper tire inflation?
✓ Has the prime mover been
properly maintained?
Equipment Inspection
It is recommended to inspect the equipment for damage and
wear before use. Use the following list as a guideline during
equipment inspection.
✓ Check all hardware connections to the prime mover
for damage or fatigue such as cracks or other
structural flaws
✓ Check that all latches or locks are closed
✓ Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight and free of
leaks
✓ Check that all hydraulic lines are free of leaks, holes
or cracks
✓ Check that the tires on the prime mover are in good
condition and have proper load ratings
Usage Guidelines
Before each use of the Stump Grinder, do the following:
✓ Perform the equipment inspection by performing a
walk around
✓ Perform daily inspection as indicated on the
Inspection Checklist
✓ Verify that the proper attachment is being used for
the task
✓ As with any power attachment, safety is critical. An
enclosed cab prime mover with the operation
wearing safety protection is required
✓ Never operate the Stump Grinder with persons
within 100 feet of range
✓ Disengage Stump Grinder and shut off the engine
before leaving the cabin of the prime mover
✓ Keep all body parts away from the Stump Grinder
when in use
✓ Use caution on slopes and uneven terrain
✓ Never carry passengers
✓ Never leave the machine running unattended
✓ Never leave the Stump Grinder off the ground when
out of the operator’s seat
✓ Never allow children or untrained personnel operate
the Stump Grinder

Operation Continued
How to Grind Stumps
Align the cutter wheel with the left side of the stump (viewed from the machine control area) and position the
machine so that it will cut about 4-6 inches off the top of the stump and 8-12 inches from the left side of the
stump. See FIGURE A.
The torsion mechanism prevents overloading of the carbide tipped cutting wheel, ensuring that grinding never
stops. The rate of cut will depend on the type of tree, condition of the wood, and the condition of the cutters.
Too light a feed will produce sawdust. The ideal feeding rate produces heavy wood chips, some of which may
be about 1/16” thick by approximately 6-8 inches long, as well as chunks of wood. After completing the first cut
through the stump, move the machine to the right (again as viewed from the control area) so the wheel can cut
another 8-12 inches. Proceed with anther cut. Additional passes, when the tree stump is very large, are made
in the same manner as described above. Repeat the procedure until the stump is cut to ground level.
Before cutting below the ground level, make certain that all rock or stone is removed from the immediate area of
the cutting wheel. When you are cutting below the ground level, the feed rate should be reduced and the operator
should be alert to the possibility of cutting hidden rock. Extra care used in this part of the operation can avoid
costly damage to the cutting wheel and teeth.
The wheel is designed so that it can “saw” or cut its way into solid wood by dropping straight down on it. This
operation works well for cutting off large roots.
NOTE: DO NOT operate the Stump Grinder with safety guards removed.

Maintenance
NOTE
Disconnect the hydraulic connection
between the attachment and the prime
mover before performing any type of
maintenance on the Stump Grinder.
Cutting Wheel Be certain to check carbide cutting teeth for wear. Standard teeth can be rotated 180° for a fresh cutting edge. Sharpen or replace teeth as necessary.
Hoses
Check hoses occasionally for abrasion damage. This may
save you from downtime. If in doubt, replace with genuine
Blue Diamond Attachment parts.
Pivot Pins
Pivot pins may be lubed with moly-type grease, same as what
is used on your machine. Please check the cotter pins that
retain all pivot/anchor pins after each use. If missing,
replace! Severe damage could be caused by losing a pin.
Direct Drive SystemCheck the direct drive system occasionally for seal damage and oil leaks. In the event of seal damage, replace the seal and the oil. To replace the oil, use 5 oz. of 90W gear oil. The oil can be added with just one plug out, but taking the second plug out allows it to vent and fill faster. Alternately, you can pour it in from the back with the motor off.
Storage
Lubrication of pivot pins is recommended if unit is stored
outside. Be certain hydraulic quick couplers are cleaned and
joined together to keep dirt out. A light coating of oil film or
diesel fluid is recommended to prevent corrosion. Touch-up
paint should be used on all scratches to prevent further rust.
