ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
SFCS-16 OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #3 (02/23/06) PAGE 24
1) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizes an
offset weight design (termed the exciter) that
moves the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment
with a random orbit oscillation. This design
configuration substantially enhances machine
control and reduces fatigue as long as the blade
or ceramic tile ripper attachment does not come in
direct contact with a protruding obstruction from
the floor. Direct contact with such an obstruction
can result in rapid and jerky directional movement
of the machine. This occurrence can lead to loss
of machine control, property damage and/or
personal injury. In most operating situations, direct
contact with a protruding obstruction from the work
surface will, at a minimum, result in damage to the
blade and/or ceramic tile ripper attachment.
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
OPERATING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IN
THE VICINITY OF ANCHOR BOLTS, PIPES,
COLUMNS, OPENINGS, PROTRUDING NAIL
HEADS, LARGE CRACKS, UTILITY OUTLETS OR
ANY OBJECT PROTRUDING FROM THE WORK
SURFACE. CONTACT WITH SUCH OBJECTS CAN
LEAD TO LOSS OF MACHINE CONTROL,
RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
DANGER
ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL OF THE
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. IF AN OPERATOR
LOOSES CONTROL OF THE MACHINE, A
"RUNAWAY" FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE
OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER, THERE IS NO PROVISION
FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR TO AUTOMATICALLY
STOP IF THE OPERATOR FAILS TO MAINTAIN
PROPER CONTROL.
DANGER
WHEN OPERATING THE FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER ON ABOVE GROUND FLOOR LEVELS,
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TO PREVENT
LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD ALLOW THE
MACHINE AND/OR OPERATOR TO FALL DOWN
TO LOWER LEVELS. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN WALKING
BACKWARDS DURING THE COVERING REMOVAL
PROCESS, BE AWARE OF DROP OFFS AND
OBSTRUCTIONS.
2) Productivity rates with the various blade and/or
attachments can be increased with the addition of
external weight being applied to the front of the
machine. FIGURE 23. Each external weight block
weighs 14 lbs (6.3 kg). Maximum allowable external
weight permits the use of three blocks or 42 lbs (19
kg). Exceeding this figure can result in permanent
structural damage to the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER. The additional external weight blocks can
be secured to the machine with the use of longer
length carriage bolts. FIGURE 24.

DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE THE FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER WITHOUT ALL EXTERNAL WEIGHT
PROPERLY SECURED TO THE MAIN FRAME. A
SUDDEN CHANGE IN MOVEMENT OR DIRECTION
CAN ALLOW THE UNSECURED WEIGHT TO FALL
OFF THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER,
