NOTICE
Casedrain must be attached and hose pressure
■
must not exceed 15 psi. Motor seal failure will
occur if the casedrain is not attached, if the hose is
crimped, or if hose pressure is excessive. All
hoses should be free of kinks, cuts, or abrasions
for safe operation.
When using a quick attachment hookup to the skid
steer, the locking pins on the loader arms should
always be engaged and secured.
When engaging the hydraulic power to the attachment,
the drum should not be in contact with the surface to be
planed. Free rotation is required to prevent excess
pressure spikes upon startup. The operator must
always be seated in the host vehicle upon startup.
Engage the hydraulic power. Set the depth indicator
slightly less than the desired depth. Actuate the bucket
cylinder function for rollout until the planer wheels
come in contact with planing surface. Make a trial cut.
Set the depth to the desired depth. Advance the skid
steer forward slowly after the desired planing depth is
attained. The drum rotation will stall when the load on
the planer is too high. This is most likely the result of
excessive ground speed. Stop, reverse skid steer
direction slightly, and proceed forward.
For maximum productivity, the planer should be oper-
ated at full engine throttle.
NOTICE
For proper operation, the majority of the weight
■
of the front of the skid steer should be placed upon
the planer with the loader arms fully lowered. The
transfer of skid steer weight to the attachment
results in smoother, faster planing. The loader
arms should never be placed in the float condition
because excessive vibration will result.
12 Operation
With the rear gauge wheel(s) set for acceptable planing
depth, the bucket function should be used for lifting or
lowering during operation.
NOTICE
The bucket cylinder function should never be
■
used to stop operation due to the existence of sec-
ondary reliefs on some skid steer bucket cylinder.
