INDEX

The X3™ (patent pending) is an triple head

Eraser that attaches to most skid loader,

tractor or truck body for removing striping, curing

compounds, and more while leaving the road in

a natural condition. Powered by gas, diesel, or

hydraulics, the X3™ allows a single operator to

remove from 8” - 20” wide (when engaging the

swivel attachment with outboard wheel

assembly). The X3™ is a versatile, full-featured

eraser that grows as your needs grow, with

additional units: inline for faster removal, or

offset for wider removal. Designed to remove with

a unique swivel wheel sweeping removal method

pattern, the X3™ feathers the substrate edges to

eliminate the grooving pattern or "ghost line".

Select your style of removal tool: from our

gentle action set of 3 steel pin cutters, to our

aggressive, 72 pin tungsten carbide, or our 144 pin

carbide gentle abrading and NEW, 216 pin

tungsten carbide pin cutter for concrete.

Diamond Cup Wheel, Wire Brushes, or

Tungsten Carbide Mini-Pick Heads are

available for your other surface preparation and

line removal needs..

You will obtain years of satisfying service when

your machine is properly used and maintained.

Please read completely this guide and parts list

manual to assure your REMOVAL SUCCESS.

SUBSTRATE REMOVAL 6 STEPS FOR LONGER

CUTTER LIFE

1) Protect the bearings with clean, oiled felt

Seals*.

2) Do not pinch felt seals when installing

cutters*.

3) Replace bearings and felt seals when worn*.

4) Change rubber bushings on engine plate

and spindle assembly after 50 hours use.

5) Never drop cam lever during grinding

operations.

Lower cutters gently onto road surface.

6) Purchase a second spindle mount with

removal tools outtted and rotate out daily.

*Pin cutter only

BEGINNING REMOVAL OPERATION: Move

your skid loader (vehicle) in the direction

of removal before lowering the unit on the

ground. It is recommended that to avoid

damage to the cutters, that they be lowered

gently to the road surface while moving

forward/backwards. This will insure that you

will achieve best nish (eliminate “crop-circle”

appearance) and not damage the cutters.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON REMOVAL DEPTH:

It is also recommended that the cutters be

lowered to contact the road surface just

enough to compete the removal process.

Excess downpressure creates excess wear

on all the moving parts. The unit weighs

approximately 600 Lbs. This should be

sufcient weight to hold the cutter heads

against the work surface. Should the desired

results not meet your expectations, consider

resetting the engine speed (RPM’s) to the

correct speed or reducing forward motion

speed to an acceptable level.

ENDING REMOVAL OPERATION: Raise

the unit above ground prior to stopping. The

X3 “hard-stops” so make certain everyone is

clear when shutting down.

MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST

• Keep a coating of grease on the drive shaft

and threads for easy installation or removal,

and for longer hex bushing life.

• Check all fasteners and re-tighten, since the

machine will vibrate the fasteners loose if they

are not secured. Use locktight.

• Check the Drive belt for wear, and adjust

(tension), or replace as required.

After replacing belts, check for proper tension:

• Adjust Idler to tension belt. Do not over

tighten.

• Check that the pulleys are aligned properly

to ensure the belts are running true.

• The inside housing must be clean, and

remove any build-up from inside the cage so

cutters and drum rotate freely.
