PREPARATION.
1)The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is a specialized type of powered equipment, designed for a specific job function and requires adequate and thorough instruction BEFORE it is operated. The size, power, complexity and operating characteristics of this type of powered equipment would dictate that each operator must receive adequate, professional instruction regarding the proper operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER before being allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER, read this Operator's Manual, and view the applicable
Safety and Operational Information Video Tape to familiarize each operator with its correct operating procedures. Avoid the urge not to take the necessary time to read this Operator's Manual before operating the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. DO NOT OPERATE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER UNTIL EACH OPERATOR COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE AND APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
2)Develop a comprehensive program for the safe operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER by its owner(s) and/or operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not limited to: instructional requirements for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and regulations, job site safety and a FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER maintenance program. Constantly examine and upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s) safety. Each operator must be fully instructed regarding the specifics of this safety program.
3)Determine that the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is in its original, factory configuration and has not been modified in any manner. Many modifications can result in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to property damage and/or personal injury.

5)Operators must be in proper physical condition, mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment.
