STORAGE
Storage
Proper procedure for long term storage of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER will protect it against the effects of corrosion and damage. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is not to be operated for a period of 30 days or more, proceed to store as follows:
1)Never store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER with the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment installed. Remove the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment from the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER per the procedures outlined in this manual.
CAUTION
Do not store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER with the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment attached. This configuration can result in property damage and/or personal injury.
2)Clean all accumulated foreign material from the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizing an appropriate safety solvent.
CAUTION
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the solvent.
3)Check all visible parts for wear, breakage or damage. Order any part required to make the necessary repair. This will avoid a needless delay when operating the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER at next use.
4)Apply a dry film lubricant to all exposed metal components to prevent rust.
5)Block the bottom of the main frame to prevent machine weight against the exciter plate. This procedure will reduce impact loads to the elastomeric rubber mounts, minimize deflection and increase service life.
6)Store the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER inside. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER must be stored outside, protect it with a suitable covering.
