steer controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your skid-steer operator's manual for information regarding skid-steer operation before attempting to use the planer. Check the surface to be planed. The standard all purpose picks can be used to mill both asphalt and concrete. There are optional concrete picks that are recommended if the planer is to be used extensively for concrete.

4. Position the planer at the desired starting point. Set the left and right depth gauge to the desired depth mark on the planer. Maximum depth of each cut is determined by the type of material, the horsepower of the skid-steer being used and the size of the planer.
Page 17
Instead of planing pass 1, 3, 5 and then going back and resetting the planer for passes 2 and 4, the DIGGA planer allows for individual depth control from the operator's seat to enhance performance and continually mill large areas.
Page 18
To achieve a 150mm cut of a large area it is recommended to cut the entire area at the recommended depth and then clear the spoil from the area before making the second cut. Removing the spoil between cuts will enhance the productivity of the planer and maintain an even cut.
The planer planetary is a sealed unit. If there is any sign of oil leaks please contact your nearest DIGGA dealer before carrying out any repairs, as there can be other causes for seal leaks. The planetary uses the Gear Oil (Castrol SP 320) for lubrication of gears and bearings.

GENERAL INFORMATION Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However it is very important that these maintenance functions be performed as described below. Never do any maintenance to the planer while it is running. Exercise the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE BEFORE working on or around the planer.

EVERY 2500 HOURS OR 12 MONTHS • Change gear oil in planetary. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.

4. Using a lead hammer or rubber-headed mallet, hit the raised pad on the tool until the pick starts to move. Continue tapping until the pick is removed. 5. Insert the new pick into the jaws of the extracting tool (pick puller) so that the raised pad of the tool is pointing in the same direction as the pick point.
