GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this manual is to assist in setting up, operating and maintaining

your BRADCO planer. Read it carefully. It furnishes information and instructions that

will help you achieve years of dependable performance.

Unless otherwise noted right and left are determined from the position of the

skid-steer operator sitting in the operator's seat facing forward.

Remember to read the "Safety Precautions" and "Operating Instructions"

sections of the manual BEFORE you attempt to install or use the planer.

NOTE: The illustrations and data used in this manual were current (according to the

information available to us) at the time of printing, however, we reserve the right to

redesign and change the cold planers as may be necessary without notification.

PREPARING THE VEHICLE

WARNING! Never let anyone operate this attachment without understanding

all of the "Safety Precautions" and "Operating Instructions"

sections of this manual. (See Section B and G respectively.)

Always choose hard, level ground to park the attachment on and

set the brake so the vehicle cannot roll.

SKID-STEER

The BRADCO 16", 18", 24", 30" and 40" planers are designed for use on high

flow skid-steers. Cold planer and skid-steer compatibility is determined by the recom-

mended lifting capacity and hydraulic output of your skid-steer.

WARNING! Do NOT attach or operate any attachment that exceeds the rec-

ommended lifting capacity of your skid-steer.

Skid-steers MUST be equipped with optional high flow, auxiliary boom hydrau-

lics, case drain and a multi-function electric control kit to run the cold planer.
