Congratulations on your decision to purchase the SMITH brand removal equipment for your rental operations. The best starting equipment is the SMITH FS200, FS050 and FS150 machines. The SMITH FS200 is a compact walk-behind scarifier that is perfect for parking lot and sidewalk contractors with a...

The equipment you have is an EDCO model planer, designed to level high spots but has some design flaws because of the front location of the cutter drum assembly. The FS3 Series is a better performing machine because of the design and engineering qualities with the scarifying drum location directly...

The transmission fluid for the Eaton Transmission should be chemically stable, incorporating rust and oxidation inhibitors. If the natural color of the fluid has become black or milky, it is possible that an overheating or water contamination problem exists. For accurate level readings, take...

When using the SMITH LNX8, the Erase-it (PM3000, PM3001, PM3002) carbide pin tools will remove tapes. The flatter the surface, the easier it is to remove tapes. The more pins on the Erase-it style cutter, the less aggressive removal action but the better the removal finish. The LNX8 should be used...

Breakage does not normally occur unless  the equipment was used beyond it's scope.  If you can complete the problem report at this link, we can identify  (1) the application of  materials being removed, (2) surface (uneven, hard surfaces) and (3) depth of removal ...

The X3 needs an available 27-30 gpm (at the X3 manifold) and 3000 psi (at the X3 manifold). Many skid steers claim these numbers but that is often measured at the skid steer's pump and not at where the unit connects to the equipment. There can be very substantial pressure and flow drops in the...

The hydraulic X3 has a MAXIMUM operational speed of 2200 RPM (2344 theoretical) this is due to the enormous torque difference between the gas version and the hydraulic. Where the gas X3 develops around 45 ft-lbs at 3200 rpm the X3 hydraulic makes a flat 75 ft-lb from 300 rpm to 2400 rpm. In...

Cementitious epoxy is one of the most difficult coating systems to remove and requires the use of a heavy-duty scarification or planer designed to cut through the surface.  This high-strength cementitious mortar/resin forms tight cross-linked polymer structures offering  toughness,...

Thank you for the detailed report on your project and your attempt to best remove the overlays of surface-build-ups. You mentioned that you had uneven performance results using the rented Schwamborn BEF201 unit. We have experience with this same type of application and can report that the use of...

You can attach your Driver 2 ways to the SMITH SPS10 – (1) in front with the ball hitch or (2) in back with an up-cut carriage. (1) The optional ball-hitch is bolted to the handle bar assembly.  After mounting, you will need to change the position of the bolt-on handle controls ...
