Operation
GrindLazer Start Up
Check the surrounding area for bystanders and clear
them before starting the skid steer or GrindLazer. Before
turning on Hydraulic Supply/Return Lines (25P471 &
25P472) or starting engine (25P473), perform the
following:
•
Read and understand gas engine manual.
•
Make sure all guards are in place and secure.
•
Make sure all mechanical fasteners are secure.
•
Inspect for damage to engine and other exterior
surfaces.
•
Inspect work area to locate any pipes, columns,
deck inserts, or other objects protruding from work
surface. Avoid these objects during operation.
Engine Start (Gas)
1. Raise the GrindLazer off of the work surface slightly
(~0.5 inch, 1.3 cm) to ensure the cutters do not put
grooves in the work surface when starting the
engine. This can be achieved by using the lift
feature on the skid steer.
•
If you cannot elevate the GrindLazer initially to start
the engine, you can turn the Cutter Height Control
Knobs counterclockwise to provide the cutter
clearance.
•
If the hydraulics of the skid steer do not maintain the
cutter clearance, put a couple of pieces of 1/4”
plywood or some other suitable shim under the
wheels to raise the cutters off of the work surface.
This allows the GrindLazer to be started above the
work surface, then rolled off of the wood (or shim) to
begin line removal.
2. Open the fuel shutoff on the gas tank and then place
the Throttle Control lever at the “fast” position.
3. Move the Choke Control lever to closed.
4. Turn Key Switch to start the engine.
5. After the engine starts, move Choke Control lever to
open.
6. Set Throttle Control to desired setting. Refer to
If the Engine Does Not Start (Gas)
•
Check engine for proper gas and oil levels.
•
Check the spark plugs. Make sure socket areas are
clean and clear of debris, and the proper gap is set.
Replace if needed.
•
Battery might be dead.
•
If engine still does not start, refer to the engine
manual.
Motor Start (Hydraulic)
1. Raise the GrindLazer off of the work surface slightly
(~0.5 inch, 1.3 cm) to ensure the cutters do not put
grooves in the work surface when starting the
engine. See
Step 1
under
page 12, for more details.
2. Start the skid steer and engage the auxiliary circuit.
3. Adjust speed as required using the Cutter Speed
Control. Refer to
When Operating...
The U-bar should always be positioned perpendicular to
the work surface and never at an angle towards or away
from the driver. The U-bar has two terrain floating or
planing springs to allow the operator to float over high
spots or apply some down pressure to plane through
high spots. After sufficient warm up time, turn on
vacuum, begin forward motion and lower the GrindLazer
simultaneously.
NOTE:
If you stop the forward motion, the GrindLazer
should be raised to prevent surface damage.
NOTICE
Do not start GrindLazer while cutter head is in contact
with the work surface. Doing so can cause damage to
the cutters.
