OPERATION
6. Continue lowering the loader arms until the rear wheels are on the ground and the drum
is milling the material. Slowly roll out the planer until the weight of the planer is resting
on all four wheel assemblies. Continue to exert down pressure for stable operation. (As
you gain experience with the operation of this attachment you will be able to
“feel” when
you have achieved sufficient down pressure for optimum performance.) See Figure #2
FIGURE #2
NOTE: It is recommended to try a sample cut until the desired depth is achieved.
7. Slowly advance forward.
FIGURE #3
NOTE: If drum stalls you have been traveling too fast or cutting too deep. Back out of
the cut until the drum restarts (make necessary adjustments) and continue operation.
NOTE: If the drum tends to ride up out of the cut, decrease travel speed, be sure the
planer is level (front to back) and exert down pressure until the planer is riding on the
wheel assemblies. For optimal cutting and reduced vibration, maintain down pressure
on the planer when cutting.
