WARNING
The TFP320 machine should always
be moved by its own powered
hydraulic drive system.
Pushing the machine continually
around by hand could result in
internal damage to the hydraulic
motor and pump system.
Turn the speed control knob (8)
clockwise to ensure that there is no
drive to the wheels.
Push both drive control levers
forward (6) and slowly open the
speed control knob (8) until machine
is moving at a satisfactory speed.
Pulling the left lever backwards
will make the machine turn left
and the right one turn right.
Pulling both the levers fully
backwards reverses the
machine.
Neutral is with both levers
in the middle position.
Once you have become
accustomed to its operation
you can make the first cut.
PHASE REVERSING
If the electrical motor is turning in the
wrong direction and the hydraulic
drive system is not working, the
power supply to your TFP320 is
incorrectly phased.
To correct, carry out the following:
1. Isolate power supply (2).
2. Remove plug from machines
socket (1).
3. Use a screwdriver to turn phase
reverse pins to the opposite
position (see picture below).
OPERATION

Machine Operation:
STARTING the electric motor, switch
on the main red isolator switch (2).
The red light will illuminate on the
panel.
BEFORE
starting
the
machine
ensure the cutter drum assembly is
clear of the ground.
If not adjust using the hand wheel
and also ensure the hydraulic lift
lever (7) is in the „up‟ position.
ENSURE the drive control levers (6)
are in the „non
-
drive/neutral‟ (central)
position and speed control knob (8)
is turned to the „OFF‟ position.
Press the green button (11) on top of
the electric panel to start the motor.
Check that the three phase power
supply is phased to suit the machine.
The electric motor should be turning
in direction of arrow on the motor
cooling fan cover i.e. clockwise when
viewed from the non drive side of
machine.
If the electric motor is turning in
the wrong direction the hydraulic
pump will be in reverse and the
hydraulic drive system will not
operate.
TO CHANGE
PHASE
ROTATE
1
Operate the hydraulic lift/lower lever
(7) to the left of the hand wheel
allowing the machine to fall to its
lowest position.
Disengage the hand wheel locking
pin (10) and SLOWLY rotate the
hand wheel (5) until the cutters just
make contact with the surface to be
treated.
Push both drive control levers (6)
forward and slowly open the speed
control knob (8) until machine is
moving at a satisfactory speed.
Adjust hand wheel (5) to desired
cutting depth and re-engage hand
wheel locking pin (10).
To raise machines cutters use
hydraulic lift lever (7).
To turn machine around at end of
run raise out of cut, reduce forward
speed and pull either of drive control
lever back through neutral and into
reverse.
It is essential that the cutters are
not lowered too far and too hard onto
the surface as serious damage
could be caused to the machine and
cutter drum assembly.
The cutters must be allowed to
"float" on the cutter shafts without
excessive downward pressure.
This floating action allows the cutters
to perform as the designer intended
i.e. as cutters rather than as grinders
or picks.
