Service; Cutting Wheel & Gearbox - Woods ALITEC PS9 1.5MD Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE
The factory installed carbide pick is a general purpose
pick of the type used for standard asphalt cutting appli-
cations. An alternative pick is available for applications
that primarily involve cutting in concrete. Contact your
dealer representative for further information concerning
proper pick selection.
To prevent the picks from seizing in the holders, the
picks should be sprayed with diesel fuel at the end of
each day of operation. This will break down the asphalt
accumulated in the holders and prevent premature
wear by allowing the picks to rotate in the holders.
If the pick remains in the holder beyond its intended
replacement point, it reduces the cutting performance
and will not protect the holder. Inspect the cutting
wheel every half hour of operation. Check the picks
and holders for wear. If the picks are worn enough to
indicate slight holder wear, replace the picks.
As regular use takes place, normal wear of the carbide
picks will occur with the outer most picks wearing first.
The pick tool included with the pavement saw should
be used to remove the picks from the cast holders.
WHEEL HARDFACING
As the wheel is used, it will be necessary to hardface
the wear points on the wheel and holders. This process
is required on a repetitive basis. The warranty policy
will not cover damage to the wheel or holders due to
negligence.
CUTTING WHEEL & GEARBOX REMOVAL
1. Retract the depth jack (1) (MD, Manual Depth) or
the hydraulic cylinder (HD, Hydraulic Depth) so
that the cutting wheel is set to its maximum depth
of cut.
2. Support the saw chassis with a hoist or other lifting
device so the cutting wheel just touches the
ground.
