5. and then set to the correct RPM for the cutters you have installed Rotary cutters 2500 2800 RPM engine Incorrect setting of RPM will damage cutters or drive belt so be sure it is correct before proceeding e After sufficient warm up time begin forward motion and lower the X3 M 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 4 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 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 finish the job MPORTANT NOTE Excess down pressure creates excess wear on all the moving parts The unit weighs approximately 600 Lbs This should be sufficient 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 X3 WIDTH ADJUSTMENT FEATURE dh
6. and we suggest that you do the following to get the most value for your investment We always recommend the use of a dust collection system when using the X3 1 Ifatall possible use water on the surface especially with diamond or carbide pic head products Both will benefit greatly from the cooling affect water has on them especially diamond products and the flushing away of residue 2 Oncarbide pic heads run at a maximum of 1500 to 1800engine RPM or slower if possible A tachometer is installed to monitor this 3 When adjusting the unit on the work surface do not force the unit down more that 1 32 to 1 16 after contact with the surface More pressure does not result in increased performance but does accelerate wear on critical cutting surfaces 4 Lock the three jam nuts on the elevation screws to prevent vibration creep 5 Regularly examine the work surface to insure you are getting desired results 6 Lift cutters off the work surface before starting and before shutting down 7 Lower the unit gently onto the work surface while moving forward to prevent crop circle style grooving at the start and end of the cuts 8 Sufficiently warm up the engine before starting the cutting action This will insure the governor keeps the engine running when you apply the cutting load Use of Gas Powered Vacuum Dust Recovery System for operator safety Please note that the vacuum system when attached will normally help control dust The do not pick up
