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. These picks
do not perform as well when milling asphalt, especially in warmer weather.
Review the job at hand and determine the required depth and tilt of the cut
and also the side shift position of the planer. Best performance is obtained
when the Profila is in the center position. Side shift should be used when
visibility is a determining factor such as milling around manholes or when
milling next to an obstacle such as a building.
NOTE: The optional wheel assemblies may be removed when distance is
a factor such as milling next to an obstacle or building.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clear area of all bystanders.
2. Lift the planer until the drum is off the ground and start planer rotation.
(Teeth at the bottom of the drum must be moving in the same forward
direction that the planer travels.)
NOTE: Mill only when the skid-steer is traveling forward. Do not operate
when traveling in reverse.
NOTE: Hydraulic cylinders tilt the planer, adjust the depth of both the
left and right side of the planer individually, and also shift the planer to
the left or right.
3. Increase engine RPM and with the drum turning you can make any
necessary adjustments to the side shift. Do not side shift the Profila during
milling operation. Once the desired side shift position has been achieved you
are ready to begin. The drum will not cut in a side to side motion. Tilt and
Depth control can both be activated during milling.
IMPORTANT: The drum MUST be turning to make any hydraulic
adjustment to the planer.
