9.10 Mechanical floating tilt device with spring jack
The cutting section of the machine (ref. “a” in fig. 6) adapts itself perfectly to the slope of the surface due to be
planed, thanks to a system which “releases” it from the side shift. This side shift, on the other hand, maintains
the same angle of inclination as the prime mover (fig. 6).
Using the spring jack (ref. “b” in fig. 8) and the two slots (fig. 9), the cutting part of the machine adapts
perfectly to the ground requiring planing and maintains a constant grip on it. Additionally, it is not affected by
the different angles at which the prime mover may end up in relation to the work surface.
A scaled rule located on the machine (fig. 7), allows the operator to see the angle of inclination from his work
post.
The scale top and bottom (8 degrees to the right and 8 degrees to the left) depend on the amount of
clearance of the two slots in fig. 9.
When the machine is lifted, the angle returns to “0”.
