With Standard Elevation Control (One Or Two Active Elevation Sensors)
 |
ENGINE NOISE CAN CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE. WEAR EAR PROTECTION WHEN WORKING CONTINUOUSLY ON OR NEAR THE MACHINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. |

| NOTICE |

ALWAYS KEEP THE ENGINE AT FULL THROTTLE AND AT A MINIMUM OF 2100 RPM WHILE MAKING A CUT. IF THE ENGINE STARTS TO FALL BELOW 2100 RPM, DECREASE THE TRAVEL SPEED AND/OR THE DEPTH OF CUT. OPERATION AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW 2100 RPM WILL: 1. REDUCE THE PRODUCTION RATE BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER CUTTER SPEED. 2. REDUCE COOLING OF THE ENGINE AND THE HYDRAULIC OIL BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER ENGINE FAN SPEED. 3. REDUCE THE FLOW OF COOLING OIL IN THE TRACK DRIVE SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER CHARGE PUMP SPEED. 4. INTERFERE WITH PROPER LOADING OF THE UPPER CONVEYOR HOPPER BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER SPEED OF THE LOWER CONVEYOR. 5. LEAD PROGRESSIVELY AND RAPIDLY TO A SMALL CONDITION. |
- 1. Position the machine at the starting point, lower the mainframe evenly until the cutter bits are just above grade and the mainframe is level, then set the park brake control at "On", the overdrive controls at "Off" and the cross slope selector at "Off".
- 2. Set the engine at low idle to allow it to warm up while the machine is being readied for operation.
- 3. Adjust the position of the crank mounting brackets in the collars and, at the same time, adjust the extension of the cranks to place the counterweight arms horizontal with the wands in the wand guides. On a grade sensing wheel assembly, the position of the sensor mounting arm on the pivot post may also be adjusted. It is desirable to have the crank indicator on one of the inch marks on the crank, and enough travel space must be left to crank the sensor upward the same distance as the depth of cut to be made.
- 4. Loosen the counterweight arm on the left sensor shaft, insert the blade of a screwdriver into the slot in the sensor shaft set the left sensor selector at "On", then set the automatic elevation selector at "On". Turn the sensor shaft until there is no movement of the front elevation cylinder with the wand horizontal and in the wand guide, then tighten the counterweight arm on the sensor shaft.
- 5. Set the right sensor selector at "On" then adjust the right sensor null as was done in step 4 for the left sensor.
- 6. Adjust the steering indicator position and set the elevation (deck) scales to "O" or other selected reading.
| NOTICE |
|---|
SET THE ENGINE AT LOW IDLE IF POSSIBLE, BUT NOT TO EXCEED 1200 RPM IN ANY CASE BEFORE ENGAGING THE CUTTER. |
- 7. Move the clutch control to "On".
- 8. Adjust the position of the upper conveyor as necessary.
- 9. Turn the appropriate lights on.
- 10. Move the conveyor and spray bar controls to "On".
- 11. Move the parking brake control to "Off", then move the travel control forward to provide a slow travel speed.
|
LOWERING THE CUTTER TOO QUICKLY WHEN STARTING A CUT WILL CAUSE THE MACHINE TO RIDE UP ONTO THE CUTTER AND LUNGE BACKWARD. IF THE CUTTER HITS AN OBSTRUCTION, THE MACHINE COULD LUNGE BACKWARD. EITHER OF THESE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. LOWER THE CUTTER SLOWLY. NEVER LET ANYONE STAND NEAR THE BACK OF THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION. |
|
- 12. As the machine starts forward, slowly crank the left elevation sensor up until the desired depth of cut is reached. The right elevation sensor will have to be cranked down as the right track moves down onto the cut grade. The depth of cut will be indicated on the front leg elevation scale.
NOTE: THE MAXIMUM DEPTH OF CUT IS 10 INCHES (25.4 cm).
- 13. After the machine has travelled forward a sufficient distance, check the grade being cut and make any necessary adjustments.
|
THERE IS INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE REAR TRACKS AND THE CUTTER HOUSING FOR CHECKING THE CUTTER DEPTH. TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, CHECK THE CUTTING DEPTH AT LEAST 25 FEET (7.6 m) BEHIND THE MACHINE. |
|
- 14. If it is necessary to correct the grade already cut:
- a. Stop the machine.
- b. Move the left and right sensor selectors to "Off".
- c. Raise the mainframe with the elevation controls.
- d. Back to the starting point and start the operation again.

- 1. Position the machine at the starting point, lower the mainframe evenly until the cutter bits are just above grade and the mainframe is level, then set the parking brake control at "On" and the overdrive controls at "Off".
- 2. Check that the cutter clutch control is set at the disengaged position. Set the engine at low idle to allow it to warm up while the machine is being readied for operation.
- 3. Adjust the position of the left side crank mounting bracket in the collar and, at the same time, adjust the extension of the crank to place the counterweight arm horizontal with the wand in the wand guide. On the grade sensing wheel assembly, the position of the sensor mounting arm on the pivot post may also be adjusted.

- 5. Set the right sensor selector at "Off".
- 6. Set the slope indicator to the desired cross slope and the slope selector to "R" or "L" as needed.

- 13. As the machine starts forward, slowly crank the elevation sensor up until the desired depth of cut is reached. The depth of cut will gradually increase and will stabilize after the rear tracks are travelling on cut grade. The depth of cut will be indicated on the front leg elevation scale.
