DANGER
CAUTION
These safety alert symbols identify important safety messages in this manual. When you see these symbols, be
alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.
Do not allow anyone to operate the FLOOR PLANER without first reading this Operator Manual and becoming
familiar with its operation. The manufacturer of the FLOOR PLANER has gone to great extremes to provide the
owner(s) and/or operator(s) with the finest equipment available for its intended job function of removing covering
materials from concrete and wood floor surfaces. Yet, the possibility exists that the FLOOR PLANER can be
utilized in and/or subjected to job applications not perceived and/or anticipated by the manufacturer. Such misuse
and/or misapplication of the FLOOR PLANER can lead to the possibility of serious damage, injury or even death.
It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to determine that the FLOOR PLANER is being utilized
and/or operated within the scope of its intended job function. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or
operator(s) to establish, monitor and constantly upgrade all safety programs and/or practices utilized in and for
the operation of the FLOOR PLANER. The purpose of such programs is to provide for owner(s') and/or
operator(s') safety. Operators must be instructed to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions associated with their
work (29 CFR 1926.21 (b)(2)) and/or applicable updated revisions. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or
operator(s) to determine that no modifications and/or alterations have been made to the FLOOR PLANER.
Modifications and/or alterations can lead to the possibility of serious damage, injury or even death. It is the
responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to make this Operator Manual available for consultation during all
phases of operation. Refer to OSHA 2207 and/or applicable updated revisions which contains all OSHA job
safety and health rules and regulations (1926 and 1910) covering construction.

NOTICE TO OPERATORS
CAUTION
The concept of frame mounted type FLOOR PLANERs has been successfully utilized for many years as a
practical solution to many types of random FLOOR PLANER requirements. The basic concept is proven
and well accepted within the associated marketplaces. Use of a FLOOR PLANER requires strenuous work
activity. This type of work activity can be considered to be greater in magnitude than that experienced
with the use of many other types of both light construction and lawn and garden related equipment. This
type of work activity should only be attempted by operators of adequate physical size and stature, mental
awareness and physical strength and condition. The body parts most noticeably affected during the
planing process are the arms, hands, wrists, shoulders, lower back and legs. The process can also
produce excessive stress/strain directly to the back muscles, spinal vertebrae and many other body
parts. Back related pain can be a side effect of utilizing a FLOOR PLANER. An operator with a chronic
back related problem or a history of back and/or other medically related problems should not attempt to
utilize the FLOOR PLANER. Use of the FLOOR PLANER may only aggravate this and any other medically
related problem. Because of the diverse type of prevailing job applications, job site conditions, operator
experience levels and operator physical characteristics, no warranty, guarantee, representation and/or
liability is made by the manufacturer as to the absolute correctness or sufficiency of any operational
procedure, operational position and/or technique. There is no absolute guarantee that an operator of any
given experience level, physical size and/or physical condition will be immune to the possibility of and/or
probable physical side effects of the normal use of the FLOOR PLANER. Each potential operator must be
made aware of and assume the operational and physical liability described and/or associated with the
use of the FLOOR PLANER. Improper use of the FLOOR PLANER can result in property damage and/or
personal injury, including death. Each potential operator not willing to assume the operational and
physical liability described and/or associated with the use of the FLOOR PLANER, should not operate it.
Proper levels of operator experience, skill and common sense are essential for maximizing the safe and
efficient operation of the FLOOR PLANER.

accessories are not insulated. Contact with buried
electrical cables, gas lines and other hazardous items
can result in electrocution and/or an explosion.
7) Clothing must be sturdy and snug fitting, but allow
complete freedom of movement. Never wear loose
fitting jackets, scarves, neckties, jewelry, flared or
cuffed pants or anything that could become caught on
controls or moving parts. Wear long pants to protect
your legs. Protect your hands with heavy duty, nonslip
gloves to improve your grip. Good footing is most
important when operating the FLOOR PLANER. Wear
sturdy boots with nonslip soles. Steel-toed safety
shoes are highly recommended. Keep shoes properly
laced. Never wear tennis shoes or other, similar type
shoes which afford little or no protection. Wear an
approved safety hard hat to protect the operator'(s')
head(s) where there is a danger of head injuries.
Noise, generated by the operation of the FLOOR
PLANER and the actual process itself, can damage
your hearing. Wear approved sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.

maintained in good working condition. Replace any
questionable part or assembly with a genuine, factory
approved, replacement part. Do not forsake proper
maintenance for the price of a few replacement parts.
Proper maintenance does not cost...it actually pays
dividends. Do not attempt any maintenance repair
work not described in this manual. Have such work
performed at your dealer's service facility.
5) A worn or damaged engine muffler is a fire hazard
and may cause loss of hearing. Check to see that the
muffler is in good condition. If the muffler is equipped
with a spark arresting device, determine that it is in
proper working condition at regular service intervals.
Replace the spark arresting device with an approved
replacement if there is any question of it integrity. It is
the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to
provide for and properly maintain a USDA approved,
spark arresting muffler in an operating area specified
by law. Check with appropriate governing agencies for
more specific information. The FLOOR PLANER must
not be operated if the muffler is faulty or has been
removed. Contact with a hot engine muffler can cause
property damage and/or personal injury.

spilled fuel.
FLAIL DESIGN AND APPLICATION.
While individual flail design and configuration may
vary, basic operational characteristics are identical:
impact a work surface material and remove
a
percentage of the material. This common operational
characteristic has led to the development of two basic
flail configurations:
1) High carbon, heat treated, alloy steel designed for
direct contact and removal of the surface material. The
high carbon content of the flail material also helps to
improve service life
DANGER

substantially longer service life than the plain, heat
treated steel types. The flail body is designed to serve
as a matrix or support for the tungsten carbide inserts,
hence the requirement for heat treatment. The heat
treatment process also aids the flail body in resisting
wear.
The 8FP Series Floor Planers operate on the principle
of various flail configurations being operated at high
rotational speeds to make direct contact with a work
surface. A series of flails are spaced and aligned on
shafts that span a specified width and rotate on a
drum that can be raised or lowered at the discretion of
the operator. The specific flail configuration and impact
rate directly affect the rate of material removal from
the work surface, the resulting surface profile and
texture.
Several factors directly affect the selection of a
flail design for a specific job application:
1) The type and amount of material to be removed
from the work surface. Materials of higher yield and
tensile strengths along with the actual volume of
material to be removed will generally be the first
factors under consideration.
The planing process is directly controlled by these
conditions:
1) The use of a suitable mechanism (flail) of sufficient
strength and hardness to impact the work surface and
remove material while delivering an acceptable
service life.
2) Purchase costs versus service life. The original
purchase cost of plain, heat treated steel flails must be
compared against the substantially higher costs of
tungsten carbide insert flails. In turn, these costs must
be compared to anticipated service life. All flails,
whether of high speed steel or tungsten carbide insert
design, will eventually wear to the point of requiring
replacement. The amount of unproductive time spent
to replace worn flails on a job can be substantially
greater than the actual replacement cost of many
flails. It then becomes a balance between purchase
cost, productivity, service life and labor cost.
2) Sufficient static weight supporting the flails which
allow them to effectively penetrate the work surface
and remove material.
3) Adequate horsepower capable of propelling the
rotating flails against the work surface to deliver
acceptable productivity rates.
Since no two materials are exactly alike, no two work
surface materials can be penetrated and removed by
the exact same method. The nature of the planing
process, along with operator experience, skill and
common sense, would suggest that efficient and
productive material removal is a matter of trial and
error. Combinations of flail type, condition,
configuration, spacing along the width of the flail drum
and feed rate are direct factors that will determine the
overall success of the job application.
3) Surface finish and texture. The finest grained
surface finish available from the planing process is
comparable to a "swept or broomed" like finish.
FIGURE 1. If a smooth, flat finish is desired, the
planing process must be followed with a grinding or
polishing type process. Many job requirements may
call for large amounts of material to be removed, but
followed with additional specifications requiring a finer
surface finish or texture. Many times these jobs dictate

the use of an aggressive flail configuration because of
productivity and cost considerations. Less aggressive
flail configurations can then be utilized for the final
finishing sequence. Generally speaking, the more
aggressive the flail configuration, the more coarse the
resulting finish and texture.
Suggested Applications:
1) Removal of thin coatings and encrusted
accumulations.
2) Cleaning concrete and asphaltic surfaces.
3) Removing thick material build-ups of greases,
paints, oils, vegetable powders and some resins from
wood floors.
4) Light scarifying prior to the application of coatings,
toppings or sealers.
5) Light, steel deck descaling projects.

configuration a rating system of 1 to 10 (10 being
highest) has been devised.

contributes to its long service life and higher
production rates. The tungsten carbide is also the
main reason for the cost differential between it and the
other flails. The design configuration yields a rather
coarse surface finish and texture. For many job
applications, this finish and texture will be satisfactory.
Some applications may require an additional
smoothing process. For example: removing high spots
or other irregularities from sidewalks. The initial
process would utilize pentagonal flails for productivity
and service life reasons. If the resulting surface finish
is too coarse to meet specifications, it can be
smoothed with the use of the star or beam flails.

SERVICE LIFE 2. The beam flail should be replaced
when the outside diameter is worn to approximately 1-
5/16 inch or the inside diameter elongates to
approximately 3/4 inch.
SERVICE LIFE 10. The pentagonal flail should be
replaced when two successive tungsten carbide
inserts break off or the inside diameter elongates to
approximately 3/4 inch. In service, the flail body will
wear much faster than the tungsten carbide inserts.
The copper brazing used to weld the inserts into the
body can fail and an insert break off. The flail can still
be used in service. It will just wear a little faster and
more uneven in that particular area. As a general rule,
a pentagonal flail can be utilized until there has been
body wear that will no longer support the tungsten
carbide inserts.
Pentagonal Flail
The pentagonal flail is manufactured from high
carbon, alloy steel that is through hardened for
additional service life. FIGURE 4. Each section of the
five sided design features a small, tungsten carbide
insert that is first placed in a small hole and then held
in position with copper brazing. It is highly effective for
scabbling or scarifying and delivers medium to coarse
surface finish texture. Designed for high speed
material removal of the work surface.
Milling Flail
The milling flail is manufactured from high carbon,
alloy steel that is heat treated for additional service
life. FIGURE 5. Each section of the five sided design
features a rectangular, tungsten carbide insert that is
held in position with copper brazing. The milling flail is
primarily designed for "climb" milling applications.
This requires that the Floor Planer be pulled toward
the operator when being utilized. Removal rates are
dependent upon both surface and substrate material
composition.

Suggested Applications:
1) Removing synthetic coatings, thermoplastic and
cold plastic marking and lines from concrete and
asphaltic surfaces.
3) Allow the flails to be arranged on the one section
flail drum in configurations of specific widths for many
job applications. An example would be the use of
pentagonal flails to groove a concrete floor. The
spacer washers are used to position the pentagonal
flails at the desired width. FIGURE 7.
COST 10
PRODUCTIVITY 7
SERVICE LIFE 7. Milling flails are designed to remove
a variety of traffic line materials from concrete and
asphaltic type surfaces. With proper techniques,
minimal amounts of parent work surface material will
also be removed during the planing process. Milling
flails are expensive. To realize maximum service life,
milling flails should not be utilized for the direct
removal of concrete and asphaltic work surface
materials. Such use will drastically reduce their
service life and substantially increase project costs.
Variances in material thickness and manufacturing
processes can affect the final thickness of both flails
and spacer washers. Because of this occurrence, trial
and error is important for assembling flails and spacer
washers on a flail drum. By mixing and matching flails
and spacer washers of specific thicknesses, the
required number of components can be assembled on
a flail drum in a minimum amount of time.

The Function of Spacer Washers
1) Reduce the number of flails required to be mounted
on the flail drum, thus reducing purchase and
operational costs.
2) Arrange the flails in a sequence or pattern that
minimizes "blind" or "open" spots created by the
additional support plates of the two section flail drum.
Always insert at least one spacer washer between two
(2) consecutive flails. The exception to this rule is a
configuration where its design does not require the
use of spacer washers. A flail drum set up with only
star, beam or pentagonal flails and no spacer washers
will not penetrate the work surface at satisfactory
rates. Typical configurations minimize the hammering
or impact action of the flails. However, this can also be
useful when removing traffic lines.
FIGURE 7
FLAIL DRUM RODS
Flail drum rods are manufactured from 1/2 inch
diameter alloy steel. They are heat treated in a two
step process that yields a surface hardness that
resists wear and extends service life.
Drum rod service life is difficult to predict because of
the large number of flail configurations and work
surface materials. Normal wear should be uniform
about the rod circumference. FIGURE 8.

2) Mixing both worn and new flails on the drum. Proper
flail action against the work surface material requires
that the flails be of the same, approximate dimensions.
Flails with various inside and outside dimensions will
not impact the work surface material with the same
intensity and deliver the same results. Flail rod wear is
directly proportional to the amount of force it must
supply against each, individual flail. When a rod can
no longer supply adequate force against the flails, it
will break, allowing the flails to be hurdled against the
inside of the Floor Planer frame. The more aggressive
flails require greater forces to keep them contained on
the rod. These forces, in turn, create faster and/or
uneven rod wear rates.
FIGURE 8
Problems encountered by uneven component
wear
Because flail drum rods are a critical component of the
actual planing process, it is important that each rod be
inspected on a regular basis to determine proper
structural integrity.
1) Inadequate free play exists between the
flails/spacer washers and the support plates of the flail
drum. If the flails and spacer washers do not have
complete freedom of movement, they will not be
capable of properly rotating about the flail drum rod.
The result is rod wear confined to two locations that
are usually 180 degrees apart. FIGURE 9. Variances
in flail and spacer washer thicknesses affects free play
when assembled on the drum. Because free play is
also created during the planing process due to actual
flail and spacer washer wear, a certain amount of
"tightness" can sometimes be tolerated without
affecting the service life of the drum rods or flails. The
specific amount of "tightness" can usually be
determined through trial and error. If the flails and
spacer washers appear too tight on the drum, remove
an appropriate flail or washer and reassemble the
drum. If a short, operational test indicates normal
component wear patterns, the apparent problem has
been solved. A general rule for consideration: it is
better to have the flails and spacer washers a "little too
loose" on the drum than a "little too tight".

The added flexibility of the one section flail drum can
be especially useful on many, specialized job
applications. These job applications are usually limited
to grooving, or light scabbling and scarifying
applications. Example: grooving concrete floors to
minimize the chance of animals and humans from
falling and sustaining injuries. This end result can be
readily accomplished by the correct spacing of flails,
spacer washers and support straps on a one section
drum. FIGURE 13.

4) Regularly inspect the drum for excessive wear and
signs of fatigue. Random vibration caused by the
planing process is difficult, if not impossible, to fully
predict. Component service life is impossible to
predict. Work surface materials, operator techniques
and general maintenance are also contributing factors
that will limit the service life of the drum and/or
components. If there is any question regarding the
structural integrity of a drum or any component,
properly discard and replace with factory approved,
replacement parts.
The most widely used drum is of the two-section
design. FIGURE 14. It incorporates two half sectioned
side plates that are positioned on the center shaft to
facilitate optimum flail spacing. The half side plate
sections also provide additional stability and structural
rigidity for the drum rods. The two-section drum can
accommodate the use of all flail designs while meeting
the most demanding job applications.
General Notes Regarding Flail Drums
1) Flail drum rods are held in position by end caps and
related fasteners. The end caps are heat treated to
extend their service life.
5) It is advisable to always have a minimum of one
spare, loaded drum available to increase job site
productivity and reduce down time. Replacing worn
flails is a job that can require from only a few, short
minutes to even hours for extremely worn and
damaged components. Replacing a drum on the
driveshaft can usually be accomplished in a matter of
a few minutes. It is a common practice to replace worn
flails during normal, unproductive time and keep a
number of loaded, replacement drums on the job site
to speed production rates.
2) The countersunk Allen head capscrews are
retained to the flail drum by both self locking, hexagon
head nuts and lock washers. The lock washers
provide additional redundancy while eliminating open,
INSTALLING FLAILS ON THE TWO SECTION
DRUM.
All flails are assembled on the two section drum in
sequence patterns with the spacer washers. Spacer
washers provide for an overlapping effect of the flails
that produces consistent material removal from the
work surface.
FIGURE 14
Normal installation procedure (fine finish) for star,
beam and all 1/8-inch nominal thickness flails
exposed threads that can become worn or damaged
from field use. A countersunk Allen head capscrew
was chosen over a conventional hexagon head
capscrew to eliminate anticipated wear. Component
wear would substantially increase the difficulty of
disassembling drum components in the field. Before
removing these capscrews, clean the internal hexagon
with an appropriate tool to help facilitate their removal.
1) Install a flail next to the outside side plate of the
narrow section. Next, install a spacer washer. Follow
with a flail and continue the sequence until the section
is full. FIGURE 15.
3) Flail rods are not intended to rotate in the drum
assembly while the Floor Planer is in operation.
Severe operation can cause the drum plates to wear
and elongate. Drum rods are also subject to wear and
elongation. If the total amount of wear is not severe,
various types of high strength, anaerobic adhesives
can be utilized to secure the rods to the drum. Severe
component wear is always an immediate reason to
reject either the rods and/or drum and replace with
factory approved, replacement parts.

steel. The brittleness of the tungsten carbide insert
requires that it be fully supported to minimize
breakage. This requires a substantial flail body to
provide the necessary support. The resulting
configuration makes the milling flail one directional in
design. This limitation requires the operator to install a
loaded drum on the driveshaft with the tungsten
carbide inserts facing the direction of rotation. FIGURE
21. If the tungsten carbide inserts face opposite to the
direction of rotation, improper milling action and
accelerated flail wear will occur.
General Notes Regarding the Installation of Flails
1) Because of variance in material thickness and
manufacturing tolerances, the specified number of
spacer washers may not always fit within the narrow
and wide sections. If this occurs, grinding a spacer
washer to reduce its thickness is an option.
FIGURE 20
FIGURE 21
CAUTION
Exercise caution when grinding a spacer washer
to reduce its thickness. Wear safety eye wear and
other, appropriate safety apparel to minimize the
potential for personal injury.
CAUTION
Before installing the drum on the driveshaft, make
a close, visual inspection of the entire assembly.
Determine that all flails and spacer washers are
properly secured on the rods and that no loose
flail or spacer washer has slipped its position
during assembly. Flails and spacer washers can
fall off the rods during assembly and become
dislodged and unnoticed. When the loaded drum
begins rotating at high speeds, these components
can fly off the drum causing property damage
and/or personal injury.
2) Flails require sufficient free play to allow them to
properly impact the work surface material. If the flails
fit too tight on the drum, inconsistent material removal
and accelerated flail wear will result. The formation of
rust between the flail and spacer washer surfaces will
affect proper free play. Excessive free play can also
accelerate the wear of flails and rods. As a general
rule, flails should be free to rotate by hand after being
installed on the drum. If this is not possible, the flails
should be disassembled and additional free play
provided by reducing the thickness of a spacer
washer.

1) Flail cutting depth is controlled by the height
adjustment lever . Rotate the lever counterclockwise to
raise the flail drum off the work surface. Rotate the

through one of the two holes provided. FIGURE 27.
FIGURE 28
a) Work surface material yield and tensile value. As a
general rule, these values will determine the cutting
depth achieved in one pass. Materials with high yield
and tensile values will characteristically resist/limit flail
penetration. For such materials, the accepted
procedure is to make a number of shallow passes
over the work surface rather than attempt to make a
single, deep pass. The net effect is to actually
increase productivity: more material removed in less
time. Other added benefits to this technique are
decreased vibration, less operator fatigue and
increased flail service life.
FIGURE 27
2) Proper operator position will enhance operational
safety and overall productivity. FIGURE 28. Operate
the engine at maximum, governed speed. Consult the
material supplied by the engine manufacturer and the
SPECIFICATIONS section for specific information.
3) The wide variety of potential work surface materials
along with the corresponding variety of job site
environments, makes it impossible to develop a
standardized operating procedure for the Floor Planer.
Use of the Floor Planer will require constant trial and
error testing until satisfactory results are achieved.
Experience gained over time and common sense will
help to minimize the amount of necessary testing.
Many factors will directly affect the operating
parameters and/or techniques utilized for a specialized
job application. Some of these factors include:
b) Higher material removal rates can sometimes be
achieved by making a series of shallow passes 90
degrees to each other to form a waffle like pattern.
This technique is especially useful when planing
misaligned sidewalks and joints.
c) Job specifications may require a wide variety of
work surface finishes and textures. The smoothest
surface texture available from the Floor Planer is very
similar to a "broom" type finish. If a smoother finish
and texture is required to meet specifications, a
grinding finish must be specified. This process utilizes

and can "break off" from from the flail body, thus
significantly reducing its efficiency and useful service
life.
4) The The Floor Planer features a "down feed" type
design for the flail drum. The flail drum rotates forward
and towards the front of the machine before the flails
impact the work surface and remove material. The
rotational direction of the drum produces a "self-
propelled" effect that assists the operator when
pushing the machine forward. Conversely, when the
operator pulls the machine back towards himself, he
must exert an additional force to overcome the "self-
propelling" force.

Dust and other particle contamination can be
controlled by the following methods:
installation of a valve and standard garden hose.
Water can be regulated by the valve to minimize dust
problems when a vacuum is not available or its use
not desired. As a general rule, a small volume of water
is required. It is not necessary to flood the work
surface material. An added benefit is that the water
can reduce the amount of heat generated by the
planing process and significantly add to flail and
bearing service life. FIGURE 31.

the machine. An industrial type vacuum cleaner can
be attached to the Floor Planer to remove/control dust
and other particle contamination from the work
surface. A dipstick is provided for the 1-1/2 inch
adaptor to prevent dust from exiting onto the operators
shoes and pants when a vacuum is not attached. A

8) On job applications where the planing process
creates a considerable amount of loose material, it can
become almost impossible to determine proper cutting
depths and the extent of work already accomplished.
The problem is more compounded if a vacuum system
is not used. Loose material should be removed by
sweeping or other appropriate processes and the
Floor Planer again used until conditions warrant
removing the accumulated material.
1) Check all fasteners for proper torque values. If a
fastener requires retorquing, consult a torque chart for
proper value. Properly discard and replace any worn
fastener with a factory approved, replacement part.
2) Check the V-belt for wear. Adjust or replace as
necessary. Check pulleys for wear and proper proper
alignment. Many loose materials created as a result of
the operating processes can be extremely abrasive.
3) Keep the Floor Planer clean. Wash the unit after
each use. Keep loose material from accumulating
around engine cooling fins. Determine that the interior
sections of the frame are free of material build-ups.
Such build-ups can restrict the operating process and
present a potential safety hazard. Clean and remove
any material build-up from the Floor Planer after each
use.
Another side benefit of progressive housekeeping is
increased V-belt life. The belt guard incorporates a
bumper that is designed to push excess material away
from the bottom sheave and minimize the amount of
loose material that is picked up by the V-belt. Loose
surface material can be extremely abrasive. A V-belt
operating in these materials is subject to accelerated
wear and premature failure.
4) Engine service life can be extended with proper air
cleaner maintenance. Consult the material supplied by
the engine manufacturer for specific information.
5) Check for proper engine oil level. Always use clean,
high quality engine oil. Change oil as required. Consult
the material supplied by the engine manufacturer for
specific information.

CHECKING V-BELT TENSION AND ALIGNMENT.
Application: All Models.
Proper V-belt tension and alignment are essential for
smooth transmission of horsepower and extended
service life. Improper tension and alignment will
accelerate V-belt wear and contribute to decreased
productivity. The V-belt is tensioned at the factory with
the maximum recommended tension force. Check the
belt tension at least two times during the first day of
operation, as there will normally be a rapid decrease in
belt tension until the belt has run in. Check the belt
tension every eight hours of operation thereafter and
maintain tension within the recommended range.
The correct operating tension for a V-belt drive is the
lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak
load conditions.
FIGURE 32
5) Belt alignment is checked with the straightedge.
Place the straightedge squarely against the driveshaft
pulley. Properly aligned pulleys should also place the
straightedge squarely against the engine pulley.
FIGURE 33. Remove the straightedge and rotate the
engine pulley 120 degrees. Recheck alignment with
the straightedge. Repeat the process until the engine
pulley is rotated a full 360 degrees. Maximum
allowable misalignment is +- 1/32 inch. If pulley
alignment is not within specifications, refer to
INSTALLING A REPLACEMENT V-BELT for specific
information.
Tools Required:
1 each, 16 inch minimum length straightedge.
1 each, 10 lbs minimum capacity, tension scale or belt
tension tool.
1) If the Floor Planer is powered by an engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire. If powered by an
electric motor, disconnect the extension cord or Floor
Planer from the power source.
6). Install the belt guard to the main frame. Install the
flat washers and self-locking hexagon nuts. Torque the
nuts to 35 ft lbs (47 N.m). Determine that all safety
related decals affixed to the belt guard are fully
readable. If any decal is not fully readable, replace
with a factory approved, replacement part only.
2) Position the Floor Planer on a suitable work bench
with the V-belt approximately at waist level.
3) Using the 9/16 inch wrench, remove the belt guard
from the main frame. Clean the inside of the belt guard
with an appropriate solvent. Check for signs of wear
and damage.
7) If the Floor Planer is powered by an engine,
reconnect the engine spark plug wire. If powered by
an electric motor and the machine is to be used
immediately, reconnect the extension cord or Floor
Planer to the power source. Determine that the
ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle is in
the OFF position.
CAUTION
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the
solvent.
4) Check belt tension using the spring scale or belt
tension tool midway between the engine and
driveshaft pulleys. Belt deflection should measure
approximately 3/16 inch at 3-7/8 to 5-1/2 lbs force.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
1) Lubricate the caster wheel bearings with a dry film
lubricant only. Dry film lubricants dry immediately upon
contact. Use sparingly. Excess lubricant will attract the
fine grained, powered materials described and directly
affect bearing service life.
CAUTION
Do not lubricate the caster wheels with any type of
grease material. Grease will attract foreign
material accumulations that can accelerate
bearing wear.
2) The flail drum driveshaft is supported by extra
capacity, double row ball bearings. Both bearings are
of a sealed design and should not require additional
lubrication during their normal service life. The grease
type and amount utilized for the bearings are intended
to provide proper lubrication for the respective loads
and operational speeds. Replacement bearings should
contain approximately 30 percent fill capacity.
Excessive amounts of grease in the bearing cavity can
actually increase friction and resulting heat increases
can also dramatically shorten bearing service life.
FIGURE 49
13) Mount the bearing block to the access plate.
Tighten the 3/8 inch self locking hexagon nuts with the
torque wrench to 35 ft lbs (47Nm.).
14) Install the access plate to the main frame by
aligning the dowel pins and installing the capscrews
and washers. Tighten with the 3/4 inch wrench.
3) The hand crank bearing is sealed and should not
require additional lubrication during its normal service
life.
A properly installed replacement bearing should rotate
without excessive friction, drag and/or "rough spots". If
these symptoms occur after assembly, the bearing
was improperly supported when presses into the
bearing block. The resulting thrust placed upon the
bearing exceeded its static capacity. A bearing
operating with these characteristics will deliver minimal
service life and be prone to premature failure.
4) Do not apply belt dressing materials to the V-belt for
the purpose of minimizing slippage. These products
typically attract foreign material accumulations that
can accelerate component wear. Excessive V-belt
slippage can be eliminated with proper V-belt tension
and alignment.
15) If the Floor Planer is powered by an engine,
reconnect the engine spark plug wire. If powered by
an electric motor and the machine is to be used
immediately, reconnect the extension cord or Floor
Planer to the power source. Determine that the
ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle is in
the OFF position.
5) Loosen the rubber boot to expose the hand crank
screw threads. Lubricate the threads with dry film
lubricant on a regular, scheduled basis. Clean and
remove all material accumulations around the
threaded area before applying the lubricant. Do not
lubricate the threads with any type of grease material.
Grease will attract foreign material accumulations that
can accelerate component wear. Place the rubber
boot in its original location and tighten the retaining
clamp.

3) Position the front casters so that their faces extend
approximately 7/16 inch (11.1 mm) beyond the bottom
surface of the main frame. Caster wheels have a slight
curvature on their faces. The measurement should be
ALIGNING THE CASTER WHEELS.
Application: All Models.
Tools Required:
1 each, 16 inch minimum length straightedge
2 each, 3/4 inch wrenches
taken at the high point of the curvature. FIGURE 51.
1 each, torque wrench, 85 ft lbs (115 Nm.) capacity
with 3/4 inch socket.
1 each, 6 inch scale.
Proper front and rear caster wheel alignment is
essential to produce an even cutting action by the
flails. With use, caster bearings and axles will
eventually wear. Excessive caster bearing and axle
wear can contribute to an uneven cutting action. In
addition, a sharp blow delivered to the Floor Planer
(eg; being dropped to the surface from off a truck) can
also affect the caster wheel alignment.
Caster wheels are aligned during assembly with the
use of a specially designed alignment jig. However,
satisfactory results can also be achieved in the field by
following steps:
FIGURE 51
4) Push the rear casters towards the main frame until
the upper limit stop is encountered. FIGURE 52.
1) Position the Floor Planer on a suitable work
surface. If the Floor Planer is powered by an engine
and the engine is not to be removed, fuel and oil must
be first drained from the fuel tank and crankcase. If
powered by an electric motor, disconnect the
extension cord or Floor Planer from the power source.
The normal position for aligning the caster wheels is
with the main frame perpendicular to the work surface.
Support the unit with proper blocking.
5) Place the straightedge between the front and rear
casters on the high point of the face curvature. Adjust
the front casters so that the gap between the straight-
edge and the bottom of the main frame is identical.
This gap figure is approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3.17
to 6.35 mm). It is important that the straightedge be
positioned on both sets of casters in the same relative
position on the caster faces. FIGURE 53.
6) Tighten the fasteners with the torque wrench to 85 ft
lbs (115 Nm.). The addition of clamps will minimize
any movement or location change while tightening the
fasteners.
2) Shim washers of .015 inch (.381 mm) thickness are
sometimes utilized when fastening the front axle
assembly to the main frame. Install washers as
required. FIGURE 50. The fasteners that attach the
front axle assembly should be tightened until slight
tension is applied. Always position the 1/2 inch flat
washers against the slots provided in the axle
assembly.

Tools Required:
1 each, 3/4 inch wrench.
1 each, dial indicator and magnetic base.
Parts Required:
1 each, PN 29020-015 driveshaft (if required).
Proper driveshaft run out limits are essential to
produce an even cutting action by the flails. Driveshaft
run out limits are measured with the use of a dial
indicator for accuracy.
1) Position the Floor Planer on a suitable work
surface. If the engine is not to be removed, fuel and oil
must be drained from the fuel tank and crankcase. The
normal position for checking driveshaft run out is with
the main frame perpendicular to the work surface.
Support the unit with proper blocking.
FIGURE 55
6) Run out measurements that exceed these limits
may suggest that the driveshaft is bent. A bent
driveshaft will accelerate bearing wear and failure
while contributing to uneven flail cutting action. Under
certain circumstances, a bent driveshaft can be
removed and straightened in an arbor press. See the
SERVICE section for specific information pertaining to
replacing the driveshaft. If the straightened driveshaft
still exceeds the established run out limits after re-
assembly, it must be replaced with a factory approved,
replacement part.
2) Using the 3/4 inch wrench, remove the capscrews
that retain the access door to the main frame.
3) Clean and remove any excessive material build-up
from the threaded bosses and surrounding area.
Material build-up can affect the driveshaft run out.
4) Remove the flail drum and replace the access door.
Tighten the capscrews with the wrench until the
access door is secured.
5) Install the dial indicator with the magnetic base
attached to the main frame. Driveshaft run out can be
measured by the dial indicator at two locations:

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE
ELECTRIC MOTOR SERVICE.
Application: 8FP/E Series Floor Planer.
CAUTION
The electric motor is capable of operating for many
years with a reasonably small amount of maintenance.
Before attempting to service the motor, disconnect the
Floor Planer from the power source. Clean the motor
surfaces periodically, preferably with a vacuum
cleaner. Heavy accumulations of dirt and lint will result
in overheating and premature failure of the motor.
Because the planing process produces high levels
of random vibration, it is essential that the
maximum governed engine speed be checked at
regular, established intervals. Excessive engine
speed can produce vibration induced forces that
can dramatically affect component service life.
Stress related cracking and resulting failure to
mufflers, blower shrouds, belt guards and other
components can result from excessive engine
speed.
The electric motor is equipped with higher capacity
ball bearings and under normal service and ambient
temperatures, should not require relubrication for
many years. If you feel that the motor requires
relubrication, contact the local representative of the
motor manufacturer for specific information.
The seals utilized with the motor are intended to
deliver a longer service life in a concrete dust
environment. When replacing the seals, utilize only
components
meeting
the
original
factory
specifications.
ENGINE SERVICE.
Application: 8FP/G Series Floor Planer.
Consult the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer for specific service and maintenance
information regarding:
1) Muffler
2) Spark Plug
3) Air Filter System
4) Carburetor Adjustment
5) Ignition System
6) Short and Long Term Storage
7) Maximum Governed Engine Speed
8) Emission Standards
Keep this information stored with the Operator's
Manual for the Floor Planer so it will always be
available for use when the engine requires service or
maintenance. A properly maintained engine will add
considerably to the service life and overall productivity
of the Floor Planer.
