OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9835 7-27-07-2
NOTE: Hydraulic cylinders tilt the planer, adjust the depth of both the left and right side
of the planer individually, and also shift the planer to the left or right.
3. Increase engine RPM and with the drum turning you can make any necessary adjust-
ments to the side shift. Do not side shift the cold planer during milling operation. Once
the desired side shift position has been achieved you are ready to begin. The drum will
not cut in a side to side motion. Tilt and Depth control can both be activated during mill-
ing.
IMPORTANT: The drum MUST be turning to make any hydraulic adjustment to the plan-
er.
4. Position the planer at the desired starting point. Set the left and right depth gauge to the
desired depth mark on the planer. Maximum depth of each cut is determined by the type
of material, the horsepower of the skid steer being used and the size of the planer. It is
recommended for maximum performance that you start at approximately .75" to 1" in
concrete and 1.50" to 2" in asphalt.
5. With the engine at full RPM and the planer rolled back, lower the loader arms complete-
ly down and slowly roll out the planer until the weight of the planer is resting on the rear
wheel assemblies. Continue to exert down pressure by rolling the loader forward until
the front wheels of the planer are on the ground and the front wheels of the skid steer
are raised approximately 2-3 inches off the planing surface to assure sufcient pressure
for stable operation.
NOTE: It is recommended to try a sample cut until the desired depth is achieved.
6. Slowly advance forward.
NOTE: If drum stalls you have been traveling too fast or cutting too deep. Back out of
the cut until the drum restarts (make necessary adjustments) and then continue opera-
tion.
NOTE: If the drum tends to ride up out of the cut, decrease travel speed, be sure the
planer is level (front to back) and exert down pressure until the planer is riding on the
wheel assemblies. For optimal cutting and reduced vibration, maintain down pressure
on the planer with all four planer wheels on the ground when cutting.
NOTE: Avoid side to side movement while planing as this may cause excessive drum
wear or planetary failure.
7. When you have reached the end of the pass, stop the skid steer and raise the planer
out of the cut. Reposition skid steer for the next cut and repeat steps 4, 5 & 6. If you are
not starting a new cut, raise the planer and retract the drum into the planer housing us-
ing the depth control cylinders. Do not transport the planer with drum turning.
