Operation 11
MCPSSAMH (Rev. 8/25/2006)
Figure 2.
7. Roll the skid steer arms back until the planer is
completely off the ground as shown in Figure 3.
8. Engage the parking brake on the skid steer.
9. Stop the engine and remove ignition key.
NOTE: When using a quick attachment hookup to
the skid steer the locking pins on the loader arms
should always be engaged and secured.
Figure 3.
ATTACHING HOSES
Relieve the back pressure in the auxiliary hydraulic
system and move the coupler pins to the engaged
position.
The planer requires a minimum hydraulic supply of 25
gallons per minute (90 liters per minute) at 2000 psi.
NOTICE
■
Insufficient hydraulic power will result in poor
performance.
In attaching the planer to the skid steer, ensure that all
hydraulic hoses are coupled securely to the quick cou-
plers.
NOTICE
■
JI Case, Gehl, Trak, and Thomas have 5 hoses
(motor pressure, return, casedrain, and two auxil-
iary).
■
Ford and New Holland have 3 hoses (motor
pressure, return, and casedrain).
■
Casedrain must be attached and hose pressure
must not exceed 15 psi. Motor seal failure will
occur if the casedrain is not attached, if a hose is
crimped, or if hose pressure is excessive. All
hoses should be free of kinks, cuts, or abrasions
for safe operation.
ADJUSTING THE VALVE ARM
■
Keep hands and feet away from the valve arm
pivot to prevent hands or feet from being crushed
when the arm is lowered.
All non-electro-hydraulic cold planers are equipped
with an adjustable valve arm. The following procedure
should be followed to properly adjust the valve arm.
1. Carefully lower the valve arm into the cab.
2. Check the valve height. If the valve needs to be
raised or lowered, return the valve arm to the
stored position as shown in Figure 4.
3. Remove the pivot stop (1) and move to the desired
location. Placement in the top rear hole allows
minimum positioning in the cab. The placement in
the bottom of the rear hole allows maximum
positioning in the cab.
4. Carefully lower the valve arm into the cab.
5. If the desired location is not achieved, repeat step
2 and 3.
6. Check the valve front-to-back position. If the valve
needs to be moved in or out, remove slide stop pin.
■
Make sure the valve is supported while the
slide stop pin is removed so the valve is prevented
from swinging downward.
7. Slide the valve arm to the desired position and
reinstall the slide stop pin.
