ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
5)Providing proper voltage and amperage levels to the electric motor is essential to obtain maximum productivity and service life. Low voltage and amperage levels will cause the motor to overheat. The motor is equipped with automatic thermal protection device that will stop it before major internal damage can result. After the motor has cooled to an acceptable temperature level, the switch must be manually activated to restart. FIGURE 21.

6)The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizes a factory supplied extension cord equipped with an integral GFI device. The GFI device is intended to protect both the operator and electric motor in the event a ground fault is developed during operation. The extension cord is 37 foot (11 m) long, fabricated from 12 AWG wire and incorporates a NEMA
DANGER
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING, INCLUDING EXTENSION CORD GAUGE SIZE AND/OR LENGTH, MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND PRACTICES. AN IMPROPER WIRING INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
7)Determine that the power source receptacle to be utilized is properly grounded. This can be accomplished with proper testing equipment and procedures. If there are any questions regarding the suitability of a specific power receptacle, contact your dealer or our Customer Service Department for assistance BEFORE utilizing the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. There is no charge for this service. A qualified electrician may need to be consulted.
8)If additional extension cord length is required for a specific job application, an additional extension cord can be utilized in conjunction with an external GFI. Plug the receptacle of the additional extension cord into the factory supplied GFI. Plug the ground fault circuit interrupter into the power source receptacle. Connect the extension cord plug into the external GFI. This configuration will allow any fault over the length of a defective extension cord to be indicated. Extension cord gauge size and length must conform to National Electric Code standards.
DANGER
BEFORE USE, PROPERLY INSPECT THE EXTENSION CORD AND WIRING DEVICES FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH A WORN OR CUT OUTER JACKET MATERIAL. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH EXPOSED INNER WIRES OR INSULATION MATERIAL. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. DO NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH A CRACKED AND/OR DAMAGED GFI CASE. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD OF IMPROPER STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND/OR DAMAGED GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DANGER
FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A FAULT, ALWAYS CONFIGURE A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE
POWER SOURCE RECEPTACLE. A CONFIGURATION WITH THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PLACED BETWEEN THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER AND THE POWER SOURCE RECEPTACLE WILL NOT AFFORD MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A POTENTIAL FAULT.
