Assembly INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION

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.

4)Tilt the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER back until the operator handle comes in contact with the surface. The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER may not be in a stable position in this configuration. To minimize the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury, properly secure an appropriate weight to the handle for added stability. Other means can also be utilized to support the frame and provide proper machine stability. Appropriate wheel chocks are also recommended. FIGURE 17.

DANGER

EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR OR UNDER THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER WITH THE OPERATOR HANDLE TILTED

BACK IN THE SERVICE POSITION. IF THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IS NOT POSITIONED IN A STABLE CONFIGURATION, WITH ADEQUATE

COUNTERWEIGHT PROPERLY SECURED, UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT CAN ALLOW THE MACHINE TO FALL BACK TO THE WORK SURFACE. THE RESULT CAN BE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

5)Reinstall the protective blade cover. Exercise extreme caution when removing and/or reinstalling the protective cover. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to loosen the button head capscrews which secure the blade between the fence plate and exciter plate. Remove the blade and store in an appropriate location. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to tighten the button head capscrews. Keep the button head capscrews tight to minimize becoming lost.

6)The removal of the ceramic tile ripper attachment is similar to that of a blade with the exception that the fence plate is reinstalled to the exciter plate. Follow the same tightening procedure as with a blade.

CAUTION

For all blades and the ceramic tile ripper attachment, tighten the button head capscrews only with the T-handled Allen wrench provided. Do not utilize another wrench type and/or configuration. The T-handled Allen wrench was chosen to place body parts a practical distance from the blade during the fastener tightening and loosening process. Do not apply excessive impact force to the button head cap screws. Ample seating torque can be applied by the T-handled Allen wrench. Excessive impact force can cause the T- handled Allen wrench to slip out of the button head capscrew, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.

CAUTION

Do not substitute a different fastener type for the button head capscrew configuration. The button head configuration was chosen for operational considerations. The use of other fastener types can increase the potential for property damage and/or personal injury.

DANGER

BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. CONTACT WITH THE BLADE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
