DANGER
LIFTING, LOWERING AND TRANSPORTING THE
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER WITH A BLADE OR
CERAMIC TILE RIPPER ATTACHMENT INSTALLED
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
4) When transporting to and from the jobsite, block the
bottom of the main frame to prevent direct impact
blows against the exciter plate. This procedure will
reduce impact loads directly to the elastomeric rubber
mounts, minimize their deflection and increase service
life.
ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR HANDLE HEIGHT.
The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER incorporates a
handle that can be adjusted to compensate for
variances in operator height. Handle height can be
infinitely varied between the stop limits. No external
tools are required. Correct handle height can increase
overall machine productivity and reduce operator
fatigue.
1) Loosen the handle knobs located at the rear of the
handle. Extend the knobs out approximately 1/2 inch
(13 mm). FIGURE 20.
FIGURE 20
2) Position the operator handle grips at a height
convenient to the specific operator. In most
configurations, the operator handle grips will be at
approximately belt height.
3) Tighten the handle knobs finger tight. Determine the
adjustable section of the operator handle is properly
secured tight against the fixed section.
CAUTION
Improper knob tension and/or improperly securing
the operator handle to the main frame can result in
an unstable platform configuration. An unstable
platform configuration can result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
DANGER
DETERMINE THE THREADED STUDS ARE
PROPERLY SEATED AGAINST THE SLIDING
SECTION OF THE OPERATOR HANDLE. THE
ADJUSTABLE SECTION MUST BE FIRMLY
SECURED TIGHT AGAINST THE FIXED SECTION
OF THE OPERATOR HANDLE. IMPROPERLY
SECURED STUDS CAN RESULT IN INADVERTENT
OPERATOR HANDLE MOVEMENT AND/OR
SEPARATION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY
STARTING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER ON
THE JOBSITE.
1) Position the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER on a
flat and level surface of firm foundation.
2) Install a blade or the ceramic tile ripper attachment
per the procedures as outlined in this manual.
3) Determine that the ON/OFF switch located on the
operator handle is in the OFF position.
DANGER
UNEXPECTED MACHINE START UP CAN RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
4) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is designed to
operate from a clean, 15 ampere, 115 VAC, 60 Hz,
nominal power source. A clean power source refers to
the amperage available from the individual electrical
circuit selected. Additional electrical products already
utilizing the same circuit will reduce the available
amperage, and can result in starting and operational
difficulties.
CAUTION
Operating the Surface Grinder from a power
source of improper voltage and/or amperage will
result in unrepairable damage to the electric motor
and related controls.
