OPERATION
The cold planer is a hydraulically
powered attachment intended for cutting
asphalt or concrete surfaces. The
performance of the attachment can vary
greatly depending upon how it is used
and operated. Therefore, the recom-
mended operating procedures contained
within this manual should be followed at
all times for maximum productivity.
Prior to operating the attachment, read
this entire manual. Follow all safety
guidelines in this manual and safety
decals on the unit. Make sure that all
guards, shields, and decals are in place
and in good condition prior to operation.
See page 23 for minimum flow
requirements for this model.
Insufficient hydraulic power will result in
poor performance. Check auxiliary high
flow per factory specifications
Attaching to Loader
To attach the unit to the loader, start the
loader engine and rotate the coupler out.
Pull both coupler levers up to the vertical
position. Move the machine forward and
pick up the attachment. Rotate the at-
tachment back and push both coupler
levers completely down. Make sure the
two wedges are completely down and
engaged. Be sure pins and latch handles
are secure before operating boom and
bucket. Always refer to operating instruc-
tions in the skidsteer manual.
In attaching the unit to the skid steer,
ensure that all hydraulic hoses are coupled
securely to the quick couplers. Two hoses
are to be connected, pressure & return.
IMPORTANT
All hoses should be free of kinks, cuts, or
abrasions for safe operation. Do not op-
erate if any hose are worn or damaged.
To Operate
1. Enter skid steer and fasten seat belt.
2. Make sure the area is clear of bystand-
ers and other workers.
3. Start the skid steer and engage the low
flow hydraulic circuit at idle.
4. Adjust the planers tilt & depth using the
manual jacks with the hand screw .
Sideshift as needed using the manual
diverter valve located on the sideshift
frame.
5. Move the throttle to the full rpm position.
and keep it there during the milling op-
erations. Lower the drum into the cut.
Move forward at a speed that will allow
the drum to efficiently without stalling.
NOTE. Milling speed will depend on tooth
condition, age and density of the material,
aggregate size and ambient temperature.
