For Gasoline Models:

• Consult the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual and follow the directions

for starting the engine and allow the engine to warm up.

Before Starting the Machine:

• Perform a visual inspection of the entire machine and all daily maintenance according to the Maintenance

Schedule on page 15.

• Locate and be familiar with all engine/motor and operating controls .

• For Gasoline models, obtain the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual. Read it and understand it before con-

tinuing. Follow the engine manual for break-in instructions.

• Use the correct cutters for the job. Be sure cutter drum is balanced, the number, size and type of cutter wheels

are correct and the cutter drum shaft is locked and secured.

• Be sure all fasteners are tight and secure, check for signs of metal cracking or fatigue, inspect for damage to

electrical wiring, damage to fuel lines, check bearings, etc.

• Be sure all guards are in place. Do not operate unless cutter drum guard is in place and secure.

• Inspect work area to determine the presence and location of deck inserts, pipes, columns and objects protruding

from the slab surface so that they may be avoided during operation.

Starting the Engine/Motor:

For Electric Models:

• Be sure the “ON/OFF” rotary cam switch is in “OFF” position.

• Hook up the correct voltage/phase electrical power source by plugging into the connector provided.

If the cord does not mate with the connector, consult a qualified licensed electrician before continu-

ing.

• Verify that the electrical current being supplied is the proper voltage and phase required to run the

equipment.

• Check motor rotation. Cutter drum rotation on the model CPM machines is “down cut.” DO NOT use if drum

rotation is incorrect - have a qualified electrician make the necessary change in the main control panel or motor

connection box.

DO NOT operate gasoline/propane

powered equipment without adequate

ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an

invisible, oderless gas that can kill.
