GENERAL INFORMATION

The BRADCO planer attaches to the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your

skid-steer loader. Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid-steer

controls is necessary for machine operation. Read and understand your skid-steer

operator's manual for information regarding skid-steer operation before attempting

to use the planer.

Check the surface to be planed. The standard all purpose picks can be

used to mill both asphalt and concrete. There are optional concrete picks that

are recommended if the planer is to be used extensively for concrete. These

picks do not perform as well when milling asphalt, especially in warmer weather.

Review the job at hand and determine the required depth and tilt of the

cut and also the side shift position of the planer. Best performance is obtained

when the cold planer is in the center position. Side shift should be used when

visibility is a determining factor such as milling around manholes or when milling

next to an obstacle such as a building. NOTE: Although the wheel assemblies

are standard, they may be removed when distance is a factor such as mill-

ing next to an obstacle or building.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clear area of all bystanders.

2. Lift the planer until the drum is off the ground and start planer rotation.

(Teeth at the bottom of the drum must be moving in the same forward

direction that the planer travels.)

NOTE: Mill only when the skid-steer is traveling forward. Do not operate

when traveling in reverse.
