PRE-OPERATION HIGH FLOW ROAD PROFILERS SKID STEER The DIGGA 450 & 600mm profilers are designed for use on high flow skid steers. Road Profiler and skid steer compatibility is determined by the recommended lifting capacity of your skid steer. WARNING! DO NOT ATTACH OR OPERATE ANY ATTACHMENT THAT EXCEEDS THE RECOMMENDED LIFTING CAPACITY OF YOUR SKID STEER.

NOTE: It is recommended to disconnect the case drain line last. Disconnect the electrical wire harness from the auxiliary electrical connector or the DIGGA control handle and after turning the ball valve to the shut off position disconnect the water line at the couplers.
Use in any other way is considered contrary to the intended use. GENERAL INFORMATION The DIGGA Profiler attaches to the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your skid steer loader. Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid steer controls is necessary for machine operation.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Hydraulic cylinders tilt the profiler, adjust the depth of both the left and right side of the planer individually, and also shift the profiler to the left or right. Increase engine RPM and with the drum turning you can make any necessary adjustments to the side shift.
DIGGA’S independent depth control design allows for continuous milling. Instead of planing pass 1, 3, 5 and then going back and resetting the profiler for passes 2 and 4, the DIGGA profiler allows for individual depth control from the operator's seat to enhance performance and continually mill large areas.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DEEP CUTS To achieve a deep cut the width of the drum, make the first cut at the recommended depth for the material being milled and then reposition the profiler at the beginning of the pass and reset for double the recommended depth.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STORAGE • Clean the unit thoroughly, removing all mud, dirt, and grease. • Inspect for visible signs of wear, breakage, or damage. Order any parts required and make the necessary repairs to avoid delays upon removal from storage. •...
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! USE LIFTING ACCESSORIES (CHAINS, SLINGS, ROPES, SHACKLES AND ETC.) THAT ARE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF YOUR ATTACHMENT. SECURE ALL LIFTING ACCESSORIES IN SUCH A WAY TO PREVENT UNINTENDED DISENGAGEMENT. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN THE ATTACHMENT FALLING AND CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
