Drive Motor/Engine:
The internal combustion engines are supplied without fuel or motor oil. Therefore, be sure to fill them as
instructed in the manufacturer’s manual. If the motor suddenly stops, the oil could be to low or it may have
been overfilled.
Caution:
Start the motor ONLY when the cutter drum assembly is in the raised position and the parking brake on.
Cutter/Drum Configuration
Check to make sure that the drum is configured with the cutters we recommend for the application in question.
When working with special milling cutters, be extra careful about the correct direction of drum rotation and
correct cutter installation. Never tip the machine on its back to look at the cutters. This can be done quickly and
easily by removing the endplate. When putting the endplate back on the machine, make certain to check the
tightening torque of cover nuts.
Caution: To avoid bearing damage, repeat this check of the cover nuts from time to time.
Working with the Scarifier:
To engage the drum, lift the black handle up and proceed in forward motion with the lever. Once the drum
engages, you can go lower for more aggressive cutting or back up for lighter scarifying. For fine-tuning of the
adjustment depth, turn the black dial clockwise until the desired adjustment is reached.
Caution:
Do not lower the black handle too deep. This will NOT increase productivity. When the depth is set
correctly, the machine will run smoothly.
To stop scarifying, lift the black handle up and proceed in a backward motion until the lever is in the uppermost
position
Changing the cutter drum:
Always be sure to switch off the machine before removing the endplate. This will prevent any flying debris from
injuring the worker. Remove the cover nuts from the endplate, and then remove the endplate to expose the
cutter drum assembly.
Dust Control:
Should dust control be of concern, please contact SASE to inquire about our powerful dust control vacuums.
The SC8E can be used with an optional 2” vacuum connection.
If you need further assistance, please call our toll free number .800.522.2606.
