5. General precautions for use



•The operator is directly accountable for the machine’s safe operation.

•Read this manual carefully before proceeding with installation, start-up, use or any servicing

of the machine.

•The aim of this handbook is to familiarise the operator, through the figures and explanations,

with the basic rules and criteria to follow during machine use and maintenance.

The following procedures are essential to guarantee safe operation:

•Check that the machine has not suffered any damage during transportation and i

f it has,

advise the manufacturer or area agent straight away.

•Make sure the machine is only used by authorised adults with appropriate training.

•Make sure the prime mover due to be used has all the dead-man’s controls fitted and that

they are in perfect working order.

•Ensure all non-members of staff are kept clear of the machine when it is in use (safety

distance of at least 10 metres). Cordon off the work area. This operation has to be done by

the operator.

•Stop working if anyone or any animals should enter the work area.

•Clean the machine regularly, removing all foreign matter which could impair operation or

cause injury to the operator.

•Before using the machine, make sure all the safety devices are correctly in place and in

good condition; if any broken devices are found, replace them immediately.

•Make sure all the hoses and fittings are properly attached.

•Do not carry out any maintenance work until you have read the instruction manual, and

always remove the ignition key from the prime mover before starting.

•Any repairs needed must be carried out solely by authorised personnel using original spare

parts. If this rule is not applied, the user could be exposed to serious risks.

•All inspections of the hoses and fittings must be carried out using

suitable personal

protection equipment (goggles, gloves and clothing to protect against contact with the skin).

•Do not leave the machine installed on the p.m. when the p.m. is unattended

in the work

area.

•Do not wear anything which might get caugh

t in the moving parts, such as unsuitable

clothing, shoes, shirts etc. You are recommended to wear garments approved for accident-

prevent purposes, e.g. helmets, non-slip shoes, headphones, and safety goggles and gloves.

Check with your employer as to the safety regulations in force and the accident-prevention

devices required.

•Do not wear rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, or scarves.

•If you have long hair, keep it tied back.

6. Technical characteristic

6.1 Machine description

The Self-levelling Planer, hereinafter referred to as the ‘machine’, is a cold planer for working on flat surfaces

made of asphalt or concrete. It can be fitted onto the majority of skid steer loaders, and is ideal for lengthwise

trench cutting on horizontal ground.

The self-levelling feature of the side support side plates ensures the side plates are kept parallel to the

ground, guaranteeing the utmost stability and perfect spoil containment. It also maintains the set planing

depth in all conditions. The depth can be uniform or set differently for each side (RH/LF) using adjustment

screws (standard version) or hydraulic cylinders (optional accessories).

The planer must be positioned so that the sides grip the ground. For increased safety, it is advisable to lift the

rear wheels of the skid steer loader a few centimetres off the ground.

To facilitate planing on a surface which is not parallel to the surface on which the primer mover wheels are

resting, the planer can be tilted transversally either automatically (on the standard machine) or using a

hydraulic cylinder (optional).

If planing is required up to and beyond the external edge of the prime mover, a side shift, operated by a

hydraulic cylinder, allows the operator to shift the machine from the central position to the right-hand side.

There is also an optional water misting system available, which features a tank that can be mounted on either

the side shift or the prime mover's roof and is used for dust abatement during planing.

Operating principle:

The planing action is obtained by combining the rotary motion of the cutter drum (driven by the hydraulic

motor onto which it is fitted directly) and - at the same time - the side shift motion of the prime mover on which

the machine is installed.

The hydraulic motor drives the cutter drum directly, which rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow in the

figure, cutting away and crushing up the material in question (asphalt, concrete and suchlike). The material is

removed by hard metal teeth positioned on the said drum.

The hydraulic power is transmitted by the prime mover to the machine via hoses.
