FS3SP CONCRETE SAW — GENERAL INFORMATION

FAMILIARIZATION

The MQ Whiteman FS3SP Series concrete saws are designed for wet or dry cutting utilizing diamond blades. They are self-propelled via a hydrostatic transmission system and have been engineered for general, industrial and high production flat sawing applications. The exceptional performance of these saws centers around innovativefeatures,topqualitycomponents,andcommittedattention to state-of-the-art manufacturing.

The reinforced heavy gauge steel frame and chassis assembly has been precisely jig welded to eliminate operational bending and/or flex that would lead to diminished blade performance. Additionally, the general weight-to-strength ratio design of the frame and chassis assembly provides for optimum weight distribution to keep the blade running true in the cut.

An innovative outboard blade shaft bearing assembly ensures minimalflutterandshaftharmonicsprovidingthemostadvantageous condition for a diamond blade at operating speeds. Also, this design further promotes greater operating life to the blade shaft bearings andV-Belts.

Heavy duty front and rear axles, oversized reinforced wheels supported by roller wheel bearings and locking collars, and industrial under carriage assemly ensure accurate tracking and years of reliable use.The positive locking Raise/Lower screw feed system with accurate depth gauge easily orients blade elevation, and will not permit blade creep during cutting operations.

Operator control of the saw is safely accomplished with adjustable ergonomic handle bars, and a combination of conveniently oriented items on the console such as: Raise/Lower Crank Handle, Tachometer/Hourmeter, ON/OFFWaterValve, Depth Feed Gauge, and Emergency Engine ON/OFF switch.Additionally, the console also provides starting, power control and forward/reverse controls.

All MQWhiteman FS3SP saws are designed,engineered and manufactured with strict adherence to American National Standards Institute, Inc. (ANSI) guidelines B7.1 and B7.5.

POWER PLANTS

The FS3SP Series saws provides a variety of gasoline engine choices (Table 3). Selection of a specific engine, and its capacity measured in horsepower/torque, directly affects the performance of the diamond blade.

The FS3SP series saws are generally classified in the industry as a "MEDIUM " horsepower saw. This classification is particularly useful when selecting the proper diamond blade for an application. Refer to the engine Owner's Manual for specific instructions regarding engine operation and maintenance practices.
