STORAGE
Storage
Proper procedure for long term storage of the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER will protect it against the
effects of corrosion and damage. If the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER is not to be operated for a
period of 30 days or more, proceed to store as follows:
1) Never store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
with the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment
installed. Remove the blade or ceramic tile ripper
attachment from the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER per the procedures outlined in this
manual.
CAUTION
Do not store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
with the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment
attached. This configuration can result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
2) Clean all accumulated foreign material from the
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizing an
appropriate safety solvent.
CAUTION
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the
solvent.
3) Check all visible parts for wear, breakage or
damage. Order any part required to make the
necessary repair. This will avoid a needless delay
when operating the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER at
next use.
4) Apply a dry film lubricant to all exposed metal
components to prevent rust.
5) Block the bottom of the main frame to prevent
machine weight against the exciter plate. This
procedure will reduce impact loads to the elastomeric
rubber mounts, minimize deflection and increase
service life.
6) Store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER inside. If
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER must be stored
outside, protect it with a suitable covering.
