Abstract

A method of removing a cutting chamber from a cold planer is disclosed. The method initiates with disconnecting the cutting chamber from a frame of the cold planer. Thereafter, the frame of the cold planer is raised to a height above the cutting chamber. After raising, the cold planer is maneuvered to a second location. More specifically, the cold planer is maneuvered in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel so that the cutting chamber is no longer under the cold planer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of removing a cutting chamber from a cold planer, the method comprising:
 disconnecting the cutting chamber from a frame of the cold planer;   raising the frame of the cold planer to a height above the cutting chamber;   maneuvering the cold planer in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel so that the cutting chamber is no longer under the cold planer.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising activating a chamber disassembly mode, wherein the chamber disassembly mode allows a ground engaging unit to be moved substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising deactivating the chamber disassembly mode, wherein the ground engaging unit cannot be moved substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel.
