DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE SURFACE PLANER
UP INTO A TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE WITH THE
USE OF ONE PERSON ALONE. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO LOWER THE SURFACE PLANER FROM A
TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE WITH THE USE OF
ONE PERSON ALONE. LIFT AND/OR LOWER THE
SURFACE PLANER ONLY BY THE USE OF A
POWER TAILGATE UNIT, A SUITABLE HOIST UNIT
OF PROPER CAPACITY AND/OR CONFIGURATION
OR BY THE USE OF A PROPER QUANTITY OF
PERSONNEL IN PROPER PHYSICAL CONDITION.
1) A lifting bail device can be used to facilitate lifting
by a mechanical device incorporating a chain and
suitable attachment device. The location of the lifting
bail may not always locate the exact position of the
center of gravity for the Surface Planer. A lifting handle
is provided on the front of the main frame. This handle
can be utilized by personnel whenever lifting/lowering
the Surface Planer.
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING
A MECHANICAL DEVICE FOR LIFTING THE
SURFACE PLANER. UTILIZE THE MECHANICAL
DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE TO BOTH ITS STATED
STATIC AND DYNAMIC LOADING ENVELOPES. DO
NOT UTILIZE THE MECHANICAL DEVICE UNTIL
THIS INFORMATION IS PROPERLY KNOWN AND
UNDERSTOOD BY ALL APPLICABLE PERSONNEL.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY UTILIZE THE MECHANICAL
DEVICE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
2) When transporting the Surface Planer on a
motor vehicle, the fuel tank breather vent (if so
equipped) must be completely closed to eliminate the
accidental seepage of fuel and resulting potential fire
and environmental hazards. In order to minimize the
possibility of damage to the Surface Planer, always
transport in its normal, upright position. All equipment
must be secured in/on vehicles with suitable strapping
or tie-downs. Personnel should not be transported
in the same compartment as equipment and fuel
supplies. Consult applicable oShA, AGA, CGA, etc.
regulations for the proper transportation of gasoline
and other, flammable gases.
STARTING THE SURFACE PLANER ON THE JOB
SITE
Application: SP684 SURFACE SHARK
1) Position the Surface Planer on a flat and level
surface of firm foundation.
2) Rotate the height adjustment lever counterclockwise
to raise the Surface Planer to its maximum position
above the work surface. This will insure proper
clearance between the loaded drum and the work
surface.
3) Pull the Quik-Pitch lever back to its stop. This will
help raise the Surface Planer to its maximum position
above the work surface. This will help insure proper
clearance between the loaded drum and the work
surface. FIGuRE 22.
FIGuRE 22
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE
WITHOUT FIRST DETERMINING THAT THE LOADED
DRUM IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK
SURFACE. IF THE ROTATING FLAILS COME IN
CONTACT WITH THE WORK SURFACE BEFORE
THE OPERATOR HAS ASSUMED FULL CONTROL,
THE ACTION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PULL THE
SURFACE PLANER AWAY. A RUNAWAY SURFACE
PLANER CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/
OR PERSONAL INJURY.
