GENERAL INFORMATION

Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation.

Maintenance requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However it

is very important that these maintenance functions be performed as described below.

WARNING! Never do any maintenance to the planer while it is running. Exercise

the MANDATORY SAFETY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE BEFORE

working on or around the planer.

DAILY

• Check to be sure case drain coupler is completely engaged.

• Check skid-steer hydraulic system to ensure an adequate level of hydraulic oil.

• Check all hardware and tighten if necessary. See Section "O" for Bolt Torque

Specifications.

• Check hydraulic system for hydraulic leaks.

• Check for missing or illegible Safety / Warning Decals.

• Check picks for freedom of rotation, flat spots and wear. Replace worn or

missing picks or any picks that are not rotating freely or have flat spots.

• Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked welds and repair as

necessary.

• Lubricate grease fittings on Wheel pivot pins.

EVERY 40 HOURS

• Lubricate grease fittings on cylinder ends and front of planer.

EVERY 2500 HOURS OR 12 MONTHS

• Change gear oil in planetary.

WARNING! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to pen-

etrate the skin causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from

a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard

or wood, rather than hands to search for suspected leaks.

Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far

away as possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with

hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabili-

ties.

If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not

familiar with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately

to determine proper treatment.
