PAVEMENT SAW OPERATION

1. Adjust the pavement saw to the desired cutting
depth. (See "Adjust Cutting Depth (MD Only)" on
page 11.)
2. Roll the skid steer arms back and lower the arms
completely.
3. Deploy the guide arm (5) as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8.
4. Engage the auxiliary hydraulic power. Be sure the
wheel is rotating in a counter-clockwise position if
viewed from the right side of the pavement saw.
5. Set the skid steer engine rpm at full power.
6. Slowly roll the skid steer arms forward to engage
the pavement saw. (If the cutting wheel stalls, roll
skid steer arms back until the wheel begins
rotating).
NOTE: Depending on the type of material being
cut, the rate at which the saw enters the cut will
vary. A proper rate of entry is one that is accompa-
nied by minimum vibration or bucking.
7. Continue to roll the attach bracket forward until the
front and rear wheels of pavement saw contact the
ground and the front wheels of the skid steer (6)
are off the ground as shown in Figure 9.
12 Operation
8. To avoid excessive vibration and to achieve best
cutting results the stop (7) should be in the float
position during the cutting operation.
Figure 9.
9. Move the skid steer forward, maintaining a
constant speed. If the cutting wheel stalls, stop
forward movement. You may be required to
reverse direction of the skid steer momentarily to
allow cutting wheel to begin rotating again.
NOTE: For the most efficient cut, maintain a for-
ward speed that minimizes stalling. Forward travel
speed is dependent on the type of material being
cut and the depth of the cut.
10. When the end of the cut is reached, stop forward
movement and stop the cutting wheel rotation.
11. Roll the skid steer arms back until the cutting wheel
clears the cut.
12. Repeat Steps 1 through 11 as necessary.

TRANSPORTING

Roll the skid steer arms back fully and raise the pave-
ment saw 8 to 10" off the ground. Avoid excessive
ground speed and sudden maneuvers.
NOTICE
When transporting the attachment make sure
■
the cutting wheel does not contact the ground as
this may cause the cutting wheel to turn resulting
in damage to the motor.
A
WARNING
 Before making any adjustments on attachment,
stop engine and engage parking brake. Never
adjust or work on attachment while the power unit
or attachment is running.
CLEANING
After Each Use
● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
●
parts.
