INTRODUCTION MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER The CRAFCO Model 30 Pavement Router was designed specifically to widen and clean joints and cracks in asphalt and concrete surfaces. The CRAFCO Model 30 Pavement Router is not intended to be used to clean old sealant from joints and cracks.
ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER Cold Weather Starting Hints Be sure to use the proper engine oil for the temperature expected. See Kohler Owners Manual for recommended SAE Viscosity Grades. Set speed control at part throttle position. A warm battery has much more starting capacity than a cold battery.

ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER For a Cold Engine: Gradually return the choke control to the “off” position after the engine starts and warms up. The engine/equipment may be operated during the warm-up period, but it may be necessary to leave the choke partially on until the engine warms up.
OPERATING PROCEDURES MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER WARNING: Lethal Exhaust Gases! Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled. Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area.

OPERATING PROCEDURE (Continued) MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER NOTE: ATTACHING CUTTER HEAD DUST SHROUD CONTINUED Use the Brush Manipulation Tool to push the Seal Brushes on both sides of shroud up above the cutter housing. The brushes should be in an upward position. (Figure 2) Figure 2 Lower the router back onto its wheels.

WARNING: The Model 30 pavement router pushes toward operator when routing. Tightly compacted surfaces, deep or wide cuts, or hard aggregate may cause sudden machine movement toward operator. This “kickback” could cause operator to lose his balance or control of machine resulting in serious personal injury.

OPERATING PROCEDURE (Continued) MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER NOTE: DUST CONTROL ROUTER OPERATING PROCEDURES CONTINUED To empty the large particle dust collection bin, reduce engine speed to idle. Support the bottom of the large particle dust collection bin with one hand, keeping the large particle dust collection bin pressed up firmly against the mounting bracket.
STORING THE MACHINE MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER CRAFCO Model 30 Pavement Router and Self-Propelled Router. DO NOT rest the weight of the machine on the rubber rock deflector or rubber will become deformed, causing them not to function properly. Store with engine in a near level position.
MAINTENANCE MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER Oil Recommendations Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. So is check- ing oil daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure.
Page 22
MAINTENANCE (Continued) MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER General Recommendations Purchase gasoline in small quantities and store in clean, approved containers. A container with a capacity of 2 gallons or less with a pouring spout is recommended. Such a container is easier to handle and helps eliminate spillage during refueling.
MAINTENANCE (Continued) MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER WARNING: Explosive Gas! Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas while being charged. To prevent a fire or explosion, charge batteries only in well ventilated areas. Keep sparks, open flames, and other sources of ignition away from the battery at all times. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER These required maintenance procedures should be performed at the frequency stated in the chart below. They should also be included as part of any seasonal tune-up. F R E Q U E N C Y M A IN T E N A N C E R E Q U IR E D F i ll fu e l ta n k .
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS MODEL 30 PAVEMENT ROUTER For longer engine life, the Model 30 Pavement Router has been fitted with a High Capacity Air Cleaner (primary) and secondary element. Due to the dusty conditions created during opera- tion, it is necessary to service the air cleaner when it becomes clogged with dirt.
Periodically inspect the in-line fuel filter and replace when dirty. Use Crafco P/N 31331. Always use genuine Crafco cutters and other replacement parts. Failure to do so will void warranty and possibly cause damage to machine or injury to operator.
