WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICADUST ALONG
WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL
RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
This attachment is designed to plane (mill) rock, concrete and asphalt,
causing high levels of dust. It is recommended to use dust suppression,
dust collection and if necessary personal protective equipment during the
operation of the planer or of any attachment that may cause high levels of
dust!
IMPORT ANT
Concrete and masonry products contain silica sand. Quartz, which is a form of
silica and the most common mineral in the earth's crust, is associated with many types
of rock.
Some activities that silica dust may be present in the air include demolition,
sweeping, loading, sawing, hammering, drilling or planing of rock, concrete or masonry.
It is recommended to use dust suppression (such as water), dust collection (such
as a vacuum) along with personal protective equipment if necessary during the opera-
tion of any attachment that may cause high levels of silica dust.

OPERATION
18
MR25664
INTENDED USE:
The SPARTAN EQUIPMENT Series II High Flow Cold Planers are designed to plane /
mill horizontal sur- faces consisting of rock, concrete and asphalt. Use in any other way is
considered contrary to the intended use.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The planer attaches to the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your prime mover. Due to
this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the prime mover controls is necessary for machine
operation. Read and understand your prime mover operator's manual for information regarding
prime mover 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.
3-LINE HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY - PALADIN CONTROL BOX
TILT: Tilts the planer to the left and right. Taper cuts may be used when adding or joining new
paved surfaces to existing paving. Holding the switch in the TILT position will tilt the planer to
the left or right depending on the direction of hydraulic flow. When the toggle switch is released
all movement will stop.
DEPTH: Raises and lowers the left and right skid shoe. Holding the switch in the DEPTH posi-
tion will raise or lower the planer depending on the direction of hydraulic flow. When the toggle
switch is released all movement will stop.
5-LINE HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY - PALADIN CONTROL BOX
TILT: Tilts the planer to the left and right. Taper cuts may be used when adding or joining new
paved surfaces to existing paving. Pushing the toggle switch left or right will tilt the planer to
the left or right. When the toggle switch is released all movement will stop.
