E-CPU10FC-I-0905 What to Expect from your CPU-10FC EDCO Concrete Scarifier The CPU-10FC EDCO concrete scarifier was designed to remove material from the surface of concrete slabs. The material may consist of excess concrete, coatings, contaminants such as industrial debris, sealer, paint, production line spill and virtually any foreign substance that creates a safety or health hazard on walks, passageways or floor surfaces.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Read and understand the Operator’s Manual, and the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual before operating this equipment. Death or serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly. Safety Guidelines Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times when this machine is in use. During normal use, sound levels exceed 92dB. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye injury. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Before Starting the Machine: • Perform a visual inspection of the entire machine and all daily maintenance according to the Maintenance Schedule on page 15. • Locate and be familiar with all engine/motor and operating controls (Figures 2). • For Gasoline models, obtain the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual. Read it and understand it before continuing. Follow the engine manual for break-in instructions. • Use the correct cutters for the job.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Starting the Cut: • Crank Depth Control up. • Slowly lower the cutter head to the slab surface with the cutter head lever. (Figure 2, Item 1) • Lift the knob of the Depth Control to unlock and turn the hand wheel slowly until the cutter head contacts the slab (you will hear the sound of the cutter wheels contacting the slab). Continue adjusting the depth of cut until the desired depth is reached; max depth of cut 3/8” (9.5 mm).
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Cutting Heads / Drums: • Drum assembly revolves at approximately 2000 R. P. M.; Model CPU-10FC is an “up-cut” planer. Depth of cut is completely determined by the material to be cut, horsepower of the engine and spacing of the cutter wheels on the cutter head. • All cuts should be started from a stationary position - when the cutting depth is reached the plane should then move forward. • The engine should not labor.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Traffic Line Removal: • For this operation, be sure to set depth of cut to just penetrate the paint. Most state and municipal agencies require 70% to 80% removal. If the road surface was pitted (worn or just old and full or uneven areas when it was painted), it will be impossible to remove the paint from the depressions without changing the depth setting. • We suggest leaving these areas to be completed last after the majority of the lines have been removed.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Outrigger Wheel Assembly: (Optional) Outrigger wheel assembly (Figure 5) is designed to allow the drum to follow the contour of the slab. Wheels are aligned with cutting drum to follow highs and lows of the slab removing a consistent depth over the entire surface. Can be used with all accessories but highly recommended for diamonds and heavy duty roto peen, removing traffic lines or thin coatings.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Remove both spark plug leads on gasoline engine models or disconnect the supply voltage connector on electric models before performing any maintenance. Disconnect the power cord at the machine. Maintenance Instructions Refer to the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for maintenance information specific to the engine used. Never work on or under equipment without first securing the equipment to prevent it from moving or falling. Always work on a flat and level surface.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Important! • Check oil level before operation. Change engine oil and filter according to engine manufacturers recommendations. • Clean air filter element daily. Belts: • On new equipment, and after replacing a set of belts, they should be re-tensioned after the first four hours of use. • New belts will be stiff and will loosen with use. Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine power to the cutting drum.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Silica Dust Warning Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 Maintenance Schedule Check Engine Oil* X Cutter Shaft Wear (bushings, drum) X Grease Cutter Assembly Bearings As Required X Daily Before Operation Visual Inspection of Entire Machine Every 4 Hours All maintenance to be performed by qualified personnel. Every 40-50 Hours of Operation Read and follow instructions in the engine owner’s manual. Repairs are to be done by authorized EDCO Dealers only.
E-CPU10FC-I-0905 LIMITED EQUIPMENT WARRANTY Equipment Development Company, Inc. herein referred to as EDCO warrants that each new unit manufactured by EDCO to be free from defects in material and workmanship in normal use and service for a period of (1) one year (except in the case of the cutter drum assembly on all model concrete asphalt planes, in which case the warranty period shall be 90 days) from date of shipment to the original retail or equipment rental center owner.
