Page 16 PREOPERATION SKID STEER The SPARTAN EQUIPMENT Series II High Flow Cold Planers are designed for use on high flow prime movers. Cold planer and prime mover compatibility is determined by the recommended lifting capacity and hydraulic output of your prime mover.
Page 17: Installation
INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION The following instructions will help you to mount your planer onto your prime mover. The planer uses the quick-attach system for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know how to at- tach your loader bucket, attaching the cold planer should prove no problem. Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before operat- ing the attachment.
Page 18 INSTALLATION Connect the electrical wire harness from the cold planer to the auxiliary electrical con- nector on the front of the skid steer (if so equipped). If your prime mover is not equipped with an electrical connector and you are using the Paladin control box see the following instructions for installing power to the control box and then connect the wiring harness form the planer to the control box located inside of the operator’s station.
Page 19: Detaching
INSTALLATION NOTICE! Route wires away from hot and/or moving parts to avoid wire damage. Verify wiring is correct and reconnect the battery. Feed the wiring harness cable from the control box to the rear of the prime mover, past the load arm’s hinge point by following the hydraulic hoses where possible. Continue routing down the loader arm, following the hydraulic hoses.
Page 20: Operation
OPERATION INTENDED USE: The SPARTAN EQUIPMENT Series II High Flow Cold Planers are designed to plane / mill horizontal sur- faces consisting of rock, concrete and asphalt. Use in any other way is considered contrary to the intended use. GENERAL INFORMATION The planer attaches to the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your prime mover.
Page 21: Operating
OPERATION DEPTH: Raises and lowers the left and right skid shoe. Pushing the toggle switch up or down will raise or lower the planer. When the toggle switch is released all movement will stop. SIDE SHIFT: Side shifts the planer to the left and right. Used for better visibility when milling around or next to an obstacle or building.
Page 22 OPERATION Continue lowering the loader arms until the rear wheels are on the ground and the drum is milling the material. Slowly roll out the planer until the weight of the planer is resting on all four wheel assemblies. Continue to exert down pressure for stable operation. (As you gain experience with the operation of this attachment you will be able to “feel”...
Page 23: Operating Tips
OPERATION NOTE: Avoid side to side movement while planing as this may cause excessive drum wear or planetary failure. WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE WITH FRONT COVER OPEN. When you have reached the end of the pass, stop the skid steer and raise the planer out of the cut.
Page 24: Storage
OPERATION To achieve a 6″ cut of a large area it is recommended to cut the entire area at the rec- ommended depth. Clear the spoil from the area before making any additional cuts. Removing the spoil between cuts will enhance the productivity of the planer and maintain an even cut. If trying to achieve a critical cutting depth it is recommended that the spoil from one cut be cleared away before making another pass.
Page 25: Removal From Storage
OPERATION • Lubricate grease fittings. • Seal hydraulic system from contaminants and secure all hydraulic hoses off the ground to help prevent damage. • Replace decals that are damaged or in unreadable condition. • Store unit in a dry and protected place. Leaving the unit outside will materially shorten its life. Additional Precautions for Long Term Storage: •...
Page 26: Tie Down Points
OPERATION 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.
Page 27: Lubrication
LUBRICATION LUBRICATION All parts provided with grease fittings should be lubricated as indicated. If any grease fittings are missing, replace them immediately. Clean all fittings thoroughly before using grease gun. Lubricate daily or every 8 hours of operation, whichever comes first, with SAE Multi- Purpose Lubricant or an equivalent SAE Multi-Purpose type grease.
Page 28 MAINTENANCE 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. WARNING! Never do any maintenance to the planer while it is running. Exercise the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE BEFORE working on or around the planer.
Page 29 MAINTENANCE WARNING! Do not use blocking made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any other material that could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Do not use wood or steel blocking that is warped, twisted, or tapered. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.
