Check all fasteners for proper security. Consult a
fastener torque chart for the proper torque value if any
fastener is found to require retorquing.
INSTALLATION OF THE ADJUSTABLE
SECTION OF THE OPERATOR HANDLE
The installation of the adjustable section of the
operator handle will require a level working surface of
sufficient size and appropriate height.
1) The Floor Stripper incorporates an operator handle
design that folds for transport and storage. The
handle is secured to the main frame at two locations;
a pivoting (fixed) location secured by Allen head type
cap screws and a retaining (locking) location secured
by removeable, ball-detent type pins. The pins are
secured to the main frame by lanyards.
2) To place the operator handle in the work position,
move the handle upright so that the ball-detent pins
can be inserted through the operator handle and main
frame. Determine the ball-detent pins are properly
inserted through the operator handle and main frame
to fully expose the ball detent. FIguRE 1.
FIguRE 1
THE BALL DETENT MUST BE FULLY
EXPOSED AGAINST THE MAIN FRAME TO
PROVIDE THE PROPER PIN RETAINING
FORCE. AN IMPROPER PIN RETAINING
CONFIGURATION CAN RESULT IN
UNEXPECTED OPERATOR HANDLE
MOVEMENT. THIS OCCURRENCE CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
3) Remove the threaded knobs from the fixed section
of the operator handle. Install the adjustable section
into the fixed section with the handle grips facing
backwards toward the operator. FIguRE 2. Position
the adjustable section at a comfortable height.
Reinstall the threaded knobs and tighten until the
studs thrust up tight against the adjustable handle
section.
FIguRE 2
The ergonomic design considerations of the
adjustable section of the operator handle will
only function if the handle grips are installed
facing backwards (toward) the operator.
Installing the adjustable section of the
operator handle with the handle grips facing
forward (away) from the operator will
decrease machine control and productivity.
INSTALLING THE ADJUSTABLE SECTION
OF THE OPERATOR HANDLE WITH THE
HANDLE GRIPS FACING FORWARD (AWAY)
FROM THE OPERATOR WILL NOT ALLOW
THE THREADED STUDS TO PROPERLY
LOCATE WITHIN THE SLOTS OF THE
ADJUSTABLE HANDLE. THE SLOT ENDS
FORM INTEGRAL STOPS FOR THE
THREADED STUDS TO THRUST AGAINST. A
PROPER STUD/SLOT CONFIGURATION
WILL PREVENT THE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE
FROM INADVERTENTLY SEPARATING
FROM THE FIXED SECTION WHEN
TRAVERSING AN INCLINE SUCH AS A
STAIRWAY. INADVERTENT SEPARATION
OF THE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE SECTION
CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
