User manual KAWAI X55-D

[. . . ] The rotor drive consists of field-proven Caterpillar components for long service life. 6 ® Front Loading Conveyor The X55-D features a hydraulically folding front loading conveyor for easy transportation. The conveyor swings 48 degrees to the left or right to meet your job requirements. The electronically controlled load sensing system matches propel speed to load on rotor for maximum production. [. . . ] This system includes a second water pump and extra spray nozzles that lubricate and control dust on the loading and collecting conveyors. Anti-slab and Collecting Conveyor A large discharge opening and wide collecting conveyor belt clear out the cutter box fast. The hydraulically operated anti-slab device prevents slabbing of the road surface, protects the collecting conveyor and ensures an optimum discharge opening to the rotor chamber. Collecting conveyor variable belt speed controls loading of milled materials to closely match material type and amount. Water spray nozzles are easily accessed for inspection and replacement without the need for tools. 7 Automatic Grade and Slope Control Options The optional contacting or non-contacting grade controls provide precise control of rotor to a preset cutting depth. System can be configured to control grade or cross slope. Sensors can be easily positioned on each side of the machine and provide a consistent accuracy. Wire grade sensor measures side plate movement that enables the entire length of the side plate to become an averaging device for accurate grade matching. Manual or automatic operation can be carried out from either the operator's station or at ground level. Constant read-out for rotor depth and cross-slope are easily visible even in direct sunlight. Visual indicators allow easy check of water spray tank level and hydraulic oil tank level. They are included on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank. Batteries are mounted at the rear of the machine. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration. The cooling package is a single plane design, stacked in series for easy access for cleaning and service. A modular stacked cooling system provides more efficient cooling of individual systems and makes routine cleaning easier. The power-assist engine hood opens wide to provide optimum access to the engine, air filter, hydraulic components and daily service points. Parking Brake Features Spring-applied/hydraulically-released multiple disc type brake mounted on each gear reducer. Brakes are applied automatically when propel lever is in the neutral detent position. A loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake circuit is caused when the parking brake switch, located on the operator's console, is pushed in. Drive motors with planetary gear reduction on each track provides balanced tractive effort. [. . . ] 14 X55-D Cold Planer specifications Optional Equipment Some options listed may be an option in some areas and standard in others. Full width canopy with two side extending wings and front and rear windshields provides optimum comfort and protection. Canopy can be hydraulically lowered for transportation. Optional fine cutting rotors for removing either the wearing course, improving surface traction or leveling surface irregularities. [. . . ]
