SUBSTRATE REMOVAL 6 STEPS FOR LONGER
CUTTER LIFE
1) Protect the bearings with clean, oiled felt
Seals*.
2) Do not pinch felt seals when installing
cutters*.
3) Replace bearings and felt seals when worn*.
4) Change rubber bushings on engine plate
and spindle assembly after 50 hours use.
5) Never drop cam lever during grinding
operations.
Lower cutters gently onto road surface.
6) Purchase a second spindle mount with
removal tools outtted and rotate out daily.
*Pin cutter only
BEGINNING REMOVAL OPERATION: Move
your skid loader (vehicle) in the direction
of removal before lowering the unit on the
ground. It is recommended that to avoid
damage to the cutters, that they be lowered
gently to the road surface while moving
forward/backwards. This will insure that you
will achieve best nish (eliminate “crop-circle”
appearance) and not damage the cutters.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON REMOVAL DEPTH:
It is also recommended that the cutters be
lowered to contact the road surface just
enough to compete the removal process.
Excess downpressure creates excess wear
on all the moving parts. The unit weighs
approximately 600 Lbs. This should be
sufcient weight to hold the cutter heads
against the work surface. Should the desired
results not meet your expectations, consider
resetting the engine speed (RPM’s) to the
correct speed or reducing forward motion
speed to an acceptable level.
ENDING REMOVAL OPERATION: Raise
the unit above ground prior to stopping. The
X3 “hard-stops” so make certain everyone is
clear when shutting down.

MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
• Keep a coating of grease on the drive shaft
and threads for easy installation or removal,
and for longer hex bushing life.
• Check all fasteners and re-tighten, since the
machine will vibrate the fasteners loose if they
are not secured. Use locktight.
• Check the Drive belt for wear, and adjust
(tension), or replace as required.
After replacing belts, check for proper tension:
• Adjust Idler to tension belt. Do not over
tighten.
• Check that the pulleys are aligned properly
to ensure the belts are running true.
10
• The inside housing must be clean, and
remove any build-up from inside the cage so
cutters and drum rotate freely.

REMOVING
CUTTER HEADS
The X3 (patent pending) machine utilizes
multiple (maximum of 3) rotary heads to
increase forward speed or width in removal
of trafc lines or surface preparation. Re-
gardless of the type head chosen, correct
head installation and adjustment will ease
removal and ensure long cutter life.
Excess pressure increases wear on the
removal heads, belt and bearing,
and yields short life cycles.
Before beginning servicing on any
X3 unit, DISCONNECT FROM
HYDRAULIC SUPPLY SOURCE
1. Raise the X3 to a height where the cutters
are easily accessible.
2. Use a wooden block or something similar
to lock down the rotation to one of the cutter
heads (this will lock down rotation to all).
3. Use an impact gun with a 24mm socket to
remove the three hex head bolts from one
head and slide cutter head downward, off of
shaft. Repeat for remaining cutter heads.
4. It is recommended that the rubber
bushings that cushion the backplate and
hub connector to the hub heads be replaced
everytime the cutter head is removed.
*TIP: SMITH recommends owning
an extra drum loaded with cutter for
rapid job-sight

INSTALLING
CUTTER HEADS
1. Install the number of heads desired (from
one to three) on the spindles using either a
24mm socket or wrench. It is recommended
to use an impact gun if available.
2. Adjust the cutter heads by loosening the
jam nuts on the Acme elevation screws
located on both ends of the machine.
3. Turn the elevation knobs up about two
turns to ensure the Cutter heads do not hit.
Before beginning servicing on any
X3 unit, DISCONNECT FROM
HYDRAULIC SUPPLY SOURCE
5. Begin adjusting the heads downward and
using a piece of thick paper, adjust until the
heads are touching the paper evenly on all
sides.
6. Next you may lower the unit about 1 line
on the knobs so that the cutters touch by
a slight amount. Be sure to lower all cutter
heads evenly.
7. AT THIS POINT RECONNECT THE
SPARKPLUGS BEFORE CONTINUING.
8. Raise the X3™ off the ground slightly (½”
or so) to ensure the cutters do not put
grooves in the road surface when starting
the engine. Allow the engine to warm
up for a minute or two and then set to the
correct RPM for the cutters you have
installed (Rotary cutters = 2000-2200 RPM
(engine)). Incorrect setting of RPM will
damage cutters or drive belt so be sure it is
correct before proceeding.
9. After sufcient warm up time, begin
forward motion and lower the X3™ at the
same time. Remember: if you stop the
forward motion, the unit should be raised
again to prevent road surface damage. If
you cannot elevate the unit initially to start
the engine, you may put a couple of pieces
of ¼” plywood or some other suitable shim
under the wheels to raise the cutters off the
ground. This way the unit can be started
above the surface, then rolled off the wood
to begin erasing the line.
2)
4. For the initial installment, fold the rubber
skirt upwards and tape it to the frame. This
will allow you to view the cutters when
initially setting the height.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
Lower cutters in a downward motion just
enough to do the job. Too much pressure
will wear the cutters out faster and leave a
much more severe cut on the surface.
Ideally, you should add slightly more
pressure to the rear cutters than the front.
This will allow the front cutters to remove
the material and the rear will nish the job.
Observe the tachometer to ensure
speed with cutters in use matches the
recommended speed for best cutter life.
Adjust as required using the speed control
knob.
13
IMPORTANT NOTE
Excess down pressure creates excess wear
on all the moving parts. The unit weighs
approximately 600 Lbs. This should be
sufcient weight to hold the cutter heads
against the work surface. Should the
desired results not meet your expectations,
consider resetting the engine speed (RPM’s)
to the correct speed or reducing forward
motion speed to an acceptable level.
RECOMMENDED SPEEDS
SETTING WIDTH OF CUT
The X3™ allows the unit to be swiveled up
to 30° either left or right to increase the
cutting path width. Move the caster wheel
assembly from inboard to outboard when
removing at wider paths.
1. Loosen the center swivel bolt at the end
of the attachment arm and then loosen the
outer two bolts using two 3/4” sockets or
wrenches. Swivel the unit either right or left
to the desired angle and retighten the bolts.
1)
You may wish to elevate the leading edge
side of the cutters just slightly to increase
erasing capacity.
The hydraulic model X3 best performs at
2000-2200 RPM.

allows all three heads to turn in the same
direction to minimize parts inventory of
heads and drive components.
Tools required:
1. 1.5” wrench
2. 7/16” socket or wrench
3. 9/16” socket or wrench
4. 3/16” hex key

8. Lower the motor and belt cover and as
you lower it use the string to pull the belt
over the motor pulley.
9. Using the tension screws begin to
tighten the belt by moving the motor away
from the center of the unit.
10. After the belt has been propely
tightened, reconnect the X3 to the skid
streer and allow it to run for 15 to 20
seconds to allow the belt to set into the
grooves of the pulleys correctly.
It is better to tension the belt tightly
rather than loosely. Loosely tightened belts
will cause the belt to ride out of the pulley
grooves and snap.
11. Reattach all the covers and the unit will
be ready for operation. Periodic tensioning
of the belt will ensure long belt life.Recheck
belt tension again after 30 minutes of use.
