GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS
Always wear proper safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield when driving pins in or
out, or when any operation causes dust, ying debris, or any other hazardous mate-
rial.
WARNING! LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT
Do not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support mate-
rial made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any other material that could
suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is solid, not de-
cayed, warped, twisted, or tapered. Lower booms to ground level or on blocks. Lower
booms and attachments to the ground before leaving the cab or operator’s station.
WARNING! USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE
Hydraulic uid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or
death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connecting or dis-
connecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s operator’s manual for detailed
instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ttings.
•Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic uid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
• If injured by injected uid, 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 treat-
ment.
• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and use a piece of cardboard or wood
when searching for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS!

GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions will help you to mount your planer onto your skid steer loader.
The planer uses the quick-attach system for ease of installation. Therefore, if you know how to
attach your loader bucket, attaching the cold planer should prove no problem.
Remember to read all safety warnings, decals and operating instructions before operat-
ing the attachment. If there is any portion of this manual that you do not understand, contact
your dealer.
WARNING! THE 16", 18", 24", 30" AND 40" PLANERS ARE DESIGNED FOR USE ON
HIGH FLOW HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS.
DO NOT ATTACH OR OPERATE ANY ATTACHMENT THAT EXCEEDS THE
RECOMMENDED LIFTING CAPACITY OF YOUR SKID STEER.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the shipping banding from around the planer and skid.
2. Remove any attachments from the front of the loader.
3. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment
in your skid steer operator's manual, install the planer onto your skid steer.
NOTE: It is important to make sure the locking mechanism on your quick attach is engaged,
therefore locking the attachment onto the skid steer.
4. Lower the unit to the ground and remove the key.
5. Relieve any pressure from the auxiliary hydraulic system. After making sure that there is
not any foreign matter on the hydraulic couplers connect the case drain coupler to the
case drain on your skid steer loader. NOTE: The case drain line must be connected rst,
then the power and return hoses. When disconnecting the hoses, it is recommended to
disconnect the case drain line last.
6. Connect the power and return couplers to the high ow auxiliary hydraulic system of your
skid steer loader. Route the hose in such a fashion as to avoid pinching or chang.
CAUTION! BE SURE CASE DRAIN COUPLER IS COMPLETELY ENGAGED. IMMEDIATE
HYDRAULIC MOTOR SEAL FAILURE AND PLANETARY DAMAGE WILL OC-
CUR IF CASE DRAIN IS NOT SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED.
7. Connect the electrical wire harness from the cold planer to the auxiliary electrical connec-
tor on the front of the skid steer (if so equipped). If your skid steer is not equipped with an
electrical connector and you are using the BRADCO control handle, connect the wiring
harness to the control handle and place the control handle inside of the skid steer opera-
tor's station.
WARNING! Do not operate the cold planer from outside of the skid steer operator's sta-
tion.

8. Following all standard safety practices, start the skid steer and run all cylinders through
their full cycle to purge any air from the system. Check that all controls function in accor-
dance with the operating control decal.
9. All planers are equipped with a water nozzle kit to adapt them to your existing water line.
Install the female coupler supplied to your existing water line coming from the water tank
on the skid steer. Connect the female coupler to the male coupler on the planer water
nozzle kit. NOTE: There is an optional cab mounted water kit available through your local
dealer.
Your planer is now installed and ready for operation.
DISCONNECT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Center the planer on the sideshift frame.
2. Adjust depth and tilt setting to "0".
3. Set cold planer on a rm level surface.
4. Following Safety Shut Down Procedures; stop the engine and set the parking brake.
Relieve any pressure in the hydraulic lines.
5. Disconnect the power and return hoses from the auxiliary hydraulics. Disconnect the
case drain line. NOTE: It is recommended to disconnect the case drain line last.
6. Disconnect the electrical wire harness from the auxiliary electrical connector or the
BRADCO control handle and after turning the ball valve to the shut off position discon-
nect the water line at the couplers.
7. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for disconnecting an attach-
ment in your skid steer operator's manual, disconnect the planer from your skid steer al-
lowing the mounting bracket to lower toward the ground as the skid steer is disengaged.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9393 7-27-07-3
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
milling 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 bot-
tom 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9835 7-27-07-2
NOTE: Hydraulic cylinders tilt the planer, adjust the depth of both the left and right side
of the planer individually, and also shift the planer to the left or right.
3. Increase engine RPM and with the drum turning you can make any necessary adjust-
ments to the side shift. Do not side shift the cold planer during milling operation. Once
the desired side shift position has been achieved you are ready to begin. The drum will
not cut in a side to side motion. Tilt and Depth control can both be activated during mill-
ing.
IMPORTANT: The drum MUST be turning to make any hydraulic adjustment to the plan-
er.
4. Position the planer at the desired starting point. Set the left and right depth gauge to the
desired depth mark on the planer. Maximum depth of each cut is determined by the type
of material, the horsepower of the skid steer being used and the size of the planer. It is
recommended for maximum performance that you start at approximately .75" to 1" in
concrete and 1.50" to 2" in asphalt.
5. With the engine at full RPM and the planer rolled back, lower the loader arms complete-
ly down and slowly roll out the planer until the weight of the planer is resting on the rear
wheel assemblies. Continue to exert down pressure by rolling the loader forward until
the front wheels of the planer are on the ground and the front wheels of the skid steer
are raised approximately 2-3 inches off the planing surface to assure sufcient pressure
for stable operation.
NOTE: It is recommended to try a sample cut until the desired depth is achieved.
6. Slowly advance forward.
NOTE: If drum stalls you have been traveling too fast or cutting too deep. Back out of
the cut until the drum restarts (make necessary adjustments) and then continue opera-
tion.
NOTE: If the drum tends to ride up out of the cut, decrease travel speed, be sure the
planer is level (front to back) and exert down pressure until the planer is riding on the
wheel assemblies. For optimal cutting and reduced vibration, maintain down pressure
on the planer with all four planer wheels on the ground when cutting.
NOTE: Avoid side to side movement while planing as this may cause excessive drum
wear or planetary failure.
7. When you have reached the end of the pass, stop the skid steer and raise the planer
out of the cut. Reposition skid steer for the next cut and repeat steps 4, 5 & 6. If you are
not starting a new cut, raise the planer and retract the drum into the planer housing us-
ing the depth control cylinders. Do not transport the planer with drum turning.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9395 7-27-07-3
CAUTION! Periodic observation must be made of the transmission oil temperature
indicator when planing with high ow hydraulic systems.
Depending on the ambient temperature and the duty cycle of the machine,
hydraulic oil may overheat.
If indicator comes on, shut off the cold planer and allow the skid-steer to
idle until the temperature falls below 160° Fahrenheit.
If the system continues running hot it may be necessary to clean any de-
bris from the oil cooler and radiator. Check engine air lter and also the
hydraulic oil level.
Continuous or excessive overheating may cause machine damage.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
LARGE AREA
BRADCO'S independent depth control design allows for continuous milling. Instead
of planing pass 1, 3, 5 and then going back and resetting the planer for passes 2 and 4, the
BRADCO planer allows for individual depth control from the operator's seat to enhance perfor-
mance and continually mill large areas.
MILLING AROUND MANHOLES
For best visibility when milling
around manholes it is recommended
that the planer be shifted to the right.
The planer is not designed to mill
around tight corners, therefore it is
recommended that four to six passes
be made on each side of the manhole.
NOTE: The more passes the less
amount of manual clean-up required.
