E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Do not operate gasoline or diesel powered equipment without adequate ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can kill. Before Starting the Engine/Motor: • • • • • • • Read Rx for Concrete Saws before operating. Inspect machine before each use according to the Maintenance Schedule on page 15. Locate and be familiar with all engine and saw controls (Figures 2 ,3,4, 5 & 5A).
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Starting the Saw Electric: • • • • • • Verify the Drive Control lever is in the Neutral (center) position. (Figures 2, 3,4 ,5 & 5A) Verify that the blade is raised high enough to clear the ground. Disengage the Clutch. (Figure 7) Insure an electric power cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet capable of supplying voltage and current needed to run the motor. This information can be obtained by reading the information plate on the motor.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 To Stop Cutting: • • • • • • • Stop forward motion of the saw by returning the speed control lever to neutral position. Raise the blade completely out of the cut by depressing the blade lift/lower switch. (Figure 8) DO NOT attempt to raise the blade with the depth control lock. Throttle the engine down to idle, on gas, propane and diesel models. Flip the Blade Saver Switch back to DRY CUT. If wet cutting, turn off the water pump and close the valve.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 The following maintenance instructions are brief explanations of some of the items suggested in the Maintenance Schedule chart on page 12. These instructions are not replacements for the Engine Manufacturer’s Maintenance Instructions. Maintenance Disconnect the machine from the power source by disconnecting the spark plug or battery leads before performing any maintenance.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Inspect Arbor Drive Belts - SS26-31D • Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the engine power to the cutting blade. Slipping belts will over heat, the blade life will be shortened and the cutting speed limited. Over tensioned belts will shorten the belt and bearing life. 70 ft. lbs. of deflection at the center between the pulley’s, is recommended. !! IMPORTANT!! After tensioning belts make sure engine is level and then tighten all mounting hardware and jam nuts.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Inspect Arbor Drive Belts - SS26-15E • Proper belt tension must be maintained to transmit the motor power to the cutting blade. Slipping belts will over heat, the blade life will be shortened and the cutting speed limited. Over tensioned belts will shorten the belt and bearing life. 70 ft. lbs. of deflection at the center between the pulleys, is recommended.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 To replace belts or change Blade Size • The model SS26-31D and SS36-57D are heavy duty saws designed to use large diameter blades for deep cutting. SS26-31D - blade size 14 inch to maximum diameter of 26 inches (66cm). SS36-57D - blade size 14 inch to maximum diameter of 36 inches (92cm). (Figures 10 thru 15) • To use smaller diameter blades, the sheaves and belt sizes must be changed. Refer to chart for belt sizes and sheave diameters.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Important! Arbor Shaft Bearings MUST be lubricated EVERY FOUR HOURS! Arbor Shaft Bearing grease points Grease Bearings - (12 Total) Arbor Shaft Bearings (2) must be greased every 4 hours. (Figure 16) All other Bearings (8/10) must be greased every 40 hours.
E-SS2636-DGE-I-1012 Installing Blades: Inspect all blades carefully before installing especially if previously used. Check for cracks, loose segments and oversize, worn, or out-of-round arbor holes. Do not use any questionable blade since serious personal injury and/or damage to property can result. Do not use warped, twisted, or out-of-balance blades. Unbalanced blades will wear excessively, vibrate and damage both arbor shaft and bearings.
