9.14 Side-by-side planing
If the area where planing is required is larger than the width of the cutter drum, several strips of planing can
be carried out side by side:
a)
align the machine and the p.m. in preparation for the
next planing strip, positioning the planer – when
necessary – using the side shift
;

IMPORTANT:
the side shift movement must be carried out
with the machine lifted slightly off the
ground and only when the drum is
completely stationary.
b)
to obtain a perfectly flat planed surface, with no
steps where the strips meet, adjust the planing depth
(see para. 9.8) of the RH and LH skids; one of these
will be sliding over the just planed ground and must be
set at depth “0”, especially if the spoil has been
removed.

IMPORTANT:
the prime mover is usually positioned with
two wheels in the trench planed earlier,
making it necessary to level out the
machine using the transversal tilt
mechanism (see para. 9.10).
