A Description of theMachineDesignThe RG1625 SUPER Jr.TM stump cutter isdesigned for your maximum benefit for every dollarspent. The machine is constructed for durabilityand easy maneuvering, for those hard to reachtree stumps and roots. Its 17" diameter cuttingwheel with 18 Rayco Superteeth is powerfullydriven through dual V-belts and a low maintenancePolyChain® GT® belt with tough Kevlar® cords,starting and stopping via an electric clutch, with a25 horsepower Kohler Command 25HP OHVV-TWIN engine at its source. Cutting boom motionand the self-propel drive are entirely hydraulic. Thehydraulic controls each include self-centeringfingertip control levers.

The machine chassis features rectangular steeltubing and steel guard construction, mounted onextra gripping deep tread tires. The operatorbenefits from a steel cutting wheel guard andheavy rubber curtains, such that his work may beperformed with safety and efficiency. The RG1625A SUPER Jr. has the unique ability to passthrough a 36" gate under its own power. Otherspecial features of the RG 1625A SUPER Jr.include dual cross travel cylinders, sphericalbearing in the pivot head, hardened replaceablebushing on all cylinder ends, flange type bearingson the axle, 6-1/2 gallon fuel tank, steel belt andPolyChain® guards, and an easy access ignitionswitch on the engine control panel. Amongavailable options are dual removable travel wheelsfor increased stability and travel traction, commandcut, and additional chip guards.

NOTICEThe hood end is considered to be the front ofthe machine, while the cutting end is the rear.Accordingly, the left and right hand sides of themachine are considered to be the same as theoperator's left and right hand side when hestands at the rear of the machine, facingtowards the front.

For further design information see the"Specifications" section of the MaintenanceManual.

How it worksThe machine removes tree stumps by the repeatedgradual sweeping of a multi-toothed high-speedrotating cutting wheel. The cutting wheel has teethon its side, in a strategic pattern. The rotatingcutting wheel takes a sweep from one side of thestump to the other, each tooth rapidly tearing andstripping away small pieces of stump. After eachsweep of 1/4 to 1/2 inches of depth, the cuttingwheel is advanced 1/4 to 1/2 inches further into thestump, and the procedure is simply repeated againand again, under the precise control of theoperator, until the stump is satisfactorily removed.

Fluid Penetration

Never allow your hand or other part of the body toget near a pressurized fluid leak. Instead, use aboard or cardboard when checking for a leak.Escaping fluid under pressure, especially aninvisible pinhole sized leak, can harmfullypenetrate body tissue, causing serious injury, andpossible death.

The attention of a physician who is speciallytrained to treat such an injury, must be soughtimmediately if penetration into skin or anymucus membrane occurs. Serious infection orreaction will soon result if such a physician isnot immediately consulted.

General HazardInformation

Wear a protective face shield, protective glasses,hearing protection, and other protective equipmentas required by job conditions.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that cancatch on controls or other parts of the machine.

Make certain all protective guards and covers aresecured in place on the machine.

Keep the machine free of foreign material, such asdebris, oil, tools, and other items which are notpart of the machine.

Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers.

Complete all needed repairs before operation.

Do not allow untrained personnel to use themachine.

The cutting boom can swing during loading andshipping and cause personal injury if it is notsecured by the cutting boom lock block. Be surethat it is properly secured.

Beware of the possibilities of unsafe practices ofothers. Always consider what might have beenneglected by a previous operator so that hispossible oversight could not cause harm duringyour use of the machine.

Pressure AirPressure air (i.e. from an air compressor) cancause personal injury.

When using pressure air for cleaning, wear aprotective face shield, protective clothing, andprotective shoes.

The maximum air pressure used for cleaningpurposes must be less than 30 psi (205 kPa).

SAFETY

Burn, Explosion Prevention

1. All fuels and most lubricants are flammable.Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces orelectrical components can cause a fire. Donot smoke while refueling, while in arefueling area, or where flammable materialsare stored. Keep all fuels and lubricantsstored in properly marked containers andaway from all unauthorized persons. Store alloily rags or other flammable material in aprotective container, in a safe place.

2. Do not weld or flame-cut on pipes, tubes, ortanks that contain flammable fluids. Cleanthem thoroughly with nonflammable solventbefore welding or flame-cutting on them.Remove all flammable materials such asfuel, oil and other debris before theyaccumulate on the machine.

3. Dangerous explosion may occur withimproper use or care of starting fluid!

• Do not attempt to use starting fluid to helpstart engine when using heating plug.

Crushing, CuttingPrevention1. Support the cutting boom and the machine

securely when working beneath them. Do notdepend on the hydraulic cylinders to hold thecutting wheel up. It can fall if a control ismoved or if a hydraulic line breaks.

2. Never attempt adjustments when themachine is moving or the engine runningunless otherwise specified, and if so, onlywith extreme caution.

3. Where there are boom linkages, theclearance in the linkage area will increase ordecrease with movement of the boom. Evenwithout the engine running, therefore, ahand, for example could become severelyinjured if it were involved in the linkage whenthe cutting boom is being swung from left toright. Stay clear of linkages when movementis occurring.

4. Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts! Amoving belt and pulleys or chain andsprocket can suddenly pull a limb into them,causing loss of or severe injury to an arm. Arotating cutting wheel can suddenly cut off anarm or leg.

5. Wear protective glasses when striking amachine part, to avoid eye injury.

6. Consult RAYCO or your RAYCO dealer forlifting instructions.

7. When the machine is parked, the wheelsshould be securely chocked to prevent thepossibility of the machine rollinguncontrolled.

Normal Starting

DO NOT start cutting wheel rotation untilmachine is in cutting position, next to stump!

1. Position the engine throttle at idle.

2. If the engine is cold, slide the choke knob tothe left.

3. Insert the key, and turn the ignition switch tothe START position. Release the key uponstarting.

4. Gradually slide the choke knob back to theright as the engine warms up.

5. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to idle(throttle in SLOW position), for a few minutesto warm up the engine before using themachine.

Starting with JumperCables

NOTICEWhen starting from another machine, makesure the machines do not touch each other.This can prevent damage to engine bearingsand electrical circuits.This machine has a 12 volt starting system.Use only equal voltage for jump starting. Useof a welder or higher voltage will damageelectrical system.

OPERATION

Pre-Starting Inspection NOTICE

To ensure the long life and economicaloperation of your stump cutter, we highlyrecommend that the operator be well instruct-ed in both the operation and maintenance ofthis machine.

Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks. Check thehydraulic oil level. Inspect the machine andperform each of the "10 Service Hours or Daily"maintenance inspections and services (see"Maintenance Intervals" section in theMaintenance Manual) as needed before operat-ing the machine.

Starting the Engine

Understand and heed the instructions in the"Safety" section of this manual, in its entirety,before proceeding.

NOTICEDo not operate the starter for more than 10seconds at a time. If the engine does not start,allow a 60-second cool-down period betweenstarting attempts. Failure to follow theseguidelines may burn out the starter motor.

If the key switch is released before the enginestarts, wait until the starter and the enginestops turning before trying again. This willprevent possible damage to the starter and/orflywheel.

If the temperature is extremely cold, it may benecessary to use cold weather starting aids.Follow the manufacturer's recommendedprocedure when using starting aids.

Always change the hydraulic oil filter at theproper times. Do not allow the engine to runwithout the filter installed. Failure to heedeither directive will result in poor machineperformance and severe damage.

Pre-operation Warm up1. Allow the engine to warm up at low idle for

two minutes.

2. To warm up the hydraulic oil, move theengine throttle to medium engine speed. Runthe engine for about two minutes whileintermittently holding the cutting wheel raiselever in the RAISE position.

3. Move the engine throttle to the maximumengine speed. Run the engine for anadditional two minutes while intermittentlyholding the cutting wheel raise lever in theRAISE position.This will allow the oil to reach relief pressure,which causes it to warm up more rapidly.

4. Cycle all the controls to allow warm oil tocirculate through all the cylinders and lines.



Do not allow jumper the cable clamp to touchthe other solenoid terminal. Uncontrolledstarting of the engine would occur, which couldcause severe injury or death.

(b) Connect the other end of the red positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal ofthe battery of the boost machine.

(c) Connect the black negative (-) jumper cableto the negative (-) terminal of the boostmachine battery.

(d) Connect the other end of the black negative(-) jumper cable to the starter mounting boltof the stalled machine, where the batteryblack negative (-) cable is already connected.(Scrape away any paint or rust, and makethe connection to bare metal.)

8. Start the engine on the boost machine andallow it to run at high idling speed for aboutten minutes. This will partially charge thestalled engine’s battery.

9. Start the stalled engine.

10. Immediately after starting the stalled engine,disconnect the jumper cables, in reverseorder.

11. Reinstall the battery caps and battery covers.

12. After completion of the above procedure,perform a failure analysis on thestarting/charging system of the stalledmachine as required.

OPERATION

1. On the stalled machine, turn the start switchto OFF.

2. Move the boost machine near enough to thestalled machine for cables to reach, but DONOT ALLOW THE MACHINES TO TOUCH.

3. Stop the engine on the boost machine.

4. Open the battery covers of both machines topurge flammable fumes.

5. Remove all of the battery caps from thebatteries (if not maintenance-free type) onboth machines, allowing explosive vapors todisperse.

6. Connect the jumper cables:

(a) Connect the red positive (+) jumper cable tothe positive (+) terminal of the startersolenoid of the stalled machine, where thebattery red positive (+) cable is alreadyconnected. (Pull back the rubber boot togain access.)

Transporting the MachineThe stump cutter may be transported with apickup truck when proper ramps are used to drivethe machine into the truck bed. The preferredmethod, however, is towing it on a RAYCO trailer(available from RAYCO). Comply with all locallaws dealing with the towing of a trailer.

Before towing the machine on the RAYCOtrailer (optional equipment), make sure of thefollowing:

1. The cutting boom lock block is installed.

2. The cutting wheel right-left travel speedcontrol valve is closed.

3. The trailer is hitched to the towing vehiclewith the safety pin in place, safety chainsare in use, and the jack is raised andpivoted away from the ground.

4. The tail lights on the trailer are operatingproperly and the loading ramps are raisedand held up by the lock bars and retainingpins.

5. The speed control valve is closed.

Unloading the Machine From the RAYCOTrailer (optional equipment)

• Both self-propel wheels must be engagedin drive mode (pin and bolt positioned inthe deep slot).

• Remove the ramp lock bar retaining pins,and lower the loading ramps.

• Remove the tie-down pin from the bumperof the machine and store it in the sleeveon the trailer.

Removing Stumps

Before operating, please consult the "Safety"section for vital information related tooperating this powerful machine!

NOTICERemove all loose pieces of wood, stones, wireand other debris from the work area beforebeginning stump removal.Wind direction should be considered, as itinfluences the direction that dust and woodchips will be directed.Always allow a cold engine time to warm upbefore cutting a stump. When swinging the cutting wheel, do not usethe cutting wheel or boom to stop the swingingmotion. Inspect the machine for damage if theboom has been swung hard into the stump orside of a hole.Whenever the tires of the machine raise off theground while operating, lower the machineback to the ground smoothly. DO NOT DROPOR CATCH IT SUDDENLY WITH THEHYDRAULICS. Damage to the machine canresult.

Only the portion of cutting wheel within the 80°area shown above should engage stump. Neverundercut the stump or use the bottom of thecutting wheel for cutting purposes.



OPERATION

Current model not shown

• Swing the cutting wheel to one side, thenlower it approximately 1/2" into the near-side roots that are buried at the foot of thestump, and swing the cutting wheel acrossthem, lowering cutting wheelapproximately 1/2" before each sweep,until they are sufficiently removed.

• Raise cutting wheel to where center ofcutting wheel is just above top of stump.

3. Cut the stump proper:

• With the cutting wheel off to one side,advance it horizontally so that when sweptacross the stump it will remove 1/4" to 1/2"of the stump.

• Sweep the cutting wheel across the stump,cutting away 1/4" to 1/2" of wood.

• Advance the cutting wheel 1/4" to 1/2",and sweep across the stump in theopposite direction.

• Continue sweeping the cutting wheel leftand right across the stump, advancing itbefore each sweep, cutting 1/4" to 1/2"depth of wood with each sweep, until thetop level of the stump is all removed.

• Raise the cutting wheel, and retract themachine from the stump until at the nearedge of the remaining stump.

4. Cut another level of stump, by repeating step3.

Normal Procedure forCutting a Stump

Never leave the controls when the cuttingwheel is rotating!

1. Prepare the machine at the stump:

• Drive the machine into position with thecutting wheel near the top edge of thestump.

• Engage the self-propel drive wheel engagepin (pull, rotate, release into the deep slotin the sleeve).

• Remove the cutting boom lock-block fromunder the cutting boom, and store it withits lock-pin on the control bulkhead.

• Move the engine throttle to FAST.

• While moving the boom left and right,adjust the LEFT/RIGHT speed with thecutting wheel cross-travel valve. (Turncounterclockwise for slower travel,clockwise for faster travel.)

Keep everyone away when the cutting wheel isON!

• Start cutting wheel rotation.

2. Remove the roots:



OPERATION

5. Complete the roots removal:

• Cut the remaining roots as described inSTEP 2 until satisfactorily removed.

6. Once the stump has been completely cut:

• Lower the engine speed, and shut off thecutting wheel rotation.

Due to high speed low-friction rotation, thecutting wheel may continue to rotateunnoticed, even after the ON/OFF switch hasbeen flipped OFF, and even after the enginehas stopped. Be sure to bring cutting wheelrotation to a complete stop before moving themachine or leaving the controls!

• Stop the cutting wheel rotation quickly bygently lowering the cutting wheel into thesoil.

• Raise and center the cutting wheel andreplace the locking devices. Turn thecutting wheel cross-travel valve clockwiseuntil tight, and disengage the left side self-propel wheel. The machine may then beself-propelled to the next destination.

Shut off the engine by turning the ignitionkeyswitch to OFF and removing the key whenfinished using the machine!



OPERATION



Helpful Tips for OperatingMachine

• Open the cross travel SPEED controlvalve one half turn. Fine adjustments canthen be made depending on operatorpreference.

• Open the machine travel speed controlvalve to control movement into the stump.

• Use smooth, comfortable speeds whileoperating.

• When it is desired to cut smaller roots, itmay be more effective to do so before,rather than after, cutting the stump.

• When chasing long roots across a yard,cut them while driving the entire machinein self-propel mode.

• Should the chip buildup become excessivewhen cutting, shut off the cutting wheel,wait for the cutting wheel to stop rotation,retract the machine from the stump, stopthe engine, and rake away the chips. Startthe engine, advance the machine towardthe stump again, and resume cutting.

• On larger stumps, when cutting from oneside, eventually a tire may tend to roll intothe hole. This may be prevented bymoving the machine to another side of thestump to continue removal, or by filling thehole with chips before continuing.

• For making turns most easily, disengagethe left self-propel wheel from drive mode(see page 18).

• To move the entire end of the machinesideways, stop the cutting wheel, move itto the side in the direction of destination,and lower it into the ground to raise onetire slightly. Then, using the cutting wheelcross-travel lever, pull the machinesideways, dragging the other tire. (Thismaneuver should be used only whereconditions allow.)

• In colder weather the machine may besluggish at first. Operating all machinecontrols, one at a time, will cause thehydraulic oil to warm up quickly. Operatethe machine lightly until the hydraulic oil iswarm.

Machine Stopping1. When stopping the machine after normal

operation, lower the engine speed to SLOW,and cycle each of the hydraulic controlsslowly for about 30 seconds each to help thehydraulic components to cool slowly.

2. Flip the cutting wheel ON/OFF Switch downto the OFF position, stopping the cuttingwheel rotation.

Due to high speed low-friction rotation, thecutting wheel may continue to rotateunnoticed, even after the ON/OFF switch hasbeen flipped OFF, and even after the enginehas stopped. Be sure to bring cutting wheelrotation to a complete stop before moving themachine or leaving the controls!

3. Stop the cutting wheel rotation quickly bygently lowering the cutting wheel into thesoil.

4. Close fully the cutting wheel cross-travelSPEED control valve.

5. Either center and raise the cutting wheel tothe fully UP position and install the cuttingboom lock block, or lower it to the ground.

6. Reduce the engine speed.

Engine Stopping

1. Reduce the engine speed to slow idle.

NOTICEBefore stopping an engine that has beenoperating at working load, allow the engine tocontinue running with the throttle at midwaybetween SLOW and FAST at least 15 seconds.

2. Turn the engine start switch to the OFFposition to stop the engine. Remove theengine start key.
