GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operat-
ing and maintaining your pavement saw. Read it care-
fully. It furnishes information and instructions that will
help you achieve years of dependable performance.
These instructions have been compiled from exten-
sive field experience and engineering data. Some
information may be general in nature due to unknown
and varying operating conditions. However, through
experience and these instructions, you should be able
to develop procedures suitable to your particular situ-
ation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were
current at the time of printing but, due to possible
inline production changes, your machine may vary
slightly in detail. We reserve the right to redesign and
change the machines as may be necessary without
notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left directions. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel. Wheel rotation is counter-clockwise as viewed
from the right side of the pavement saw.

and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
 Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result.
CONTACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Counterweight ballast may be required for
machine stability. Check your power unit manual or
contact your dealer.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-
ation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
After connecting hoses, check that all control
lever positions function as instructed in the Opera-
tor's Manual. Do not put into service until control
lever and equipment movements are correct.
Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydrau-
lic hoses within 20 inches of the operator and be
secured onto metal hose fittings. Replace hoses or
sleeves if damaged or if protective sleeve cannot
be properly positioned or secured.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Be sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition. Coupler
lockpins must be fully extended and properly
engaged into attachment retaining slots.
(Safety Rules continued on next page)
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operatorʼs single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.

SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
The factory installed carbide pick is a general purpose
pick of the type used for standard asphalt cutting appli-
cations. An alternative pick is available for applications
that primarily involve cutting in concrete. Contact your
dealer representative for further information concerning
proper pick selection.
To prevent the picks from seizing in the holders, the
picks should be sprayed with diesel fuel at the end of
each day of operation. This will break down the asphalt
accumulated in the holders and prevent premature
wear by allowing the picks to rotate in the holders.
If the pick remains in the holder beyond its intended
replacement point, it reduces the cutting performance
and will not protect the holder. Inspect the cutting
wheel every half hour of operation. Check the picks
and holders for wear. If the picks are worn enough to
indicate slight holder wear, replace the picks.
As regular use takes place, normal wear of the carbide
picks will occur with the outer most picks wearing first.
The pick tool included with the pavement saw should
be used to remove the picks from the cast holders.
WHEEL HARDFACING
As the wheel is used, it will be necessary to hardface
the wear points on the wheel and holders. This process
is required on a repetitive basis. The warranty policy
will not cover damage to the wheel or holders due to
negligence.
CUTTING WHEEL & GEARBOX REMOVAL
1. Retract the depth jack (1) (MD, Manual Depth) or
the hydraulic cylinder (HD, Hydraulic Depth) so
that the cutting wheel is set to its maximum depth
of cut.
2. Support the saw chassis with a hoist or other lifting
device so the cutting wheel just touches the
ground.
Figure 10.
3. Remove the two motor bolts (2) and the motor as
shown in Figure 11.
