When utilizing water to control dust and other particle
contamination, thoroughly clean the interior surfaces
of the Surface Planer to remove any material build-up.
Failure to properly clean the interior surfaces can result
in dried material build-up affecting operation and/or
bearing service life.
c) Many oil based materials such as asphalt can quickly
accumulate on components and severely restrict
the ability of the flails to remove material from the
work surface. Kerosene and other types of oil based
solvents can be utilized to remove the accumulated
material(s).
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING
ANY SOLVENT TO REMOVE ACCUMULATED
MATERIALS FROM THE SURFACES OF THE
MACHINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS. MANY
SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE
OR INTRODUCE FLAME IN THE WORK AREA.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR
APPROPRIATE SAFETY APPAREL.
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ALL ACCUMULATED
MATERIALS PER OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY CODES AND
REGULATIONS. MANY ACCUMULATED
MATERIALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS
AND REQUIRE PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES.
CONTACT THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT
AND/OR PRIVATE AGENCIES FOR SPECIFIC
INFORMATION.
10) on job applications where the planing process
creates a considerable amount of loose material, it can
become almost impossible to determine proper cutting
depths and the extent of work already accomplished.
The problem is more compounded if a vacuum system
is not used. Loose material should be removed by
sweeping or other appropriate processes and the
Surface Planer again used until conditions warrant
removing the accumulated material.
11) Another side benefit of progressive housekeeping
is increased v-belt life. The belt guard incorporates a
bumper that is designed to push excess material away
from the bottom sheave and minimize the amount of
loose material that is picked up by the v-belt. Loose
surface material can be extremely abrasive. A v-belt
operating in these materials is subject to accelerated
wear and premature failure.
12) To raise the loaded drum from the work surface,
pull the Quik-Pitch lever back to its stop. This will allow
the operator to reposition or maneuver the Surface
Planer about the jobsite. Pushing the Quik-Pitch lever
forward to its stop will lower the loaded drum to the
same depth level.
STOPPING THE SURFACE PLANER
Application: SP684 SURFACE SHARK
1) Push the Quik-Pitch lever forward to its stop.
2) Rotate the height adjustment lever located on the
operator handle counterclockwise to raise the Surface
Planer to its maximum height above the work surface.
3) Stop the engine in accordance with the instructions
as described in the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer.
SERVICE
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Application: SP684 SURFACE SHARK
The normal operation of the Surface Planer produces
extreme dirt and dust, along with high levels of random
vibration. before operating the Surface Planer, the
following service list should be accomplished. This list
