SECTION I

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

LIGHTNING STRIPPER

The Lightning is operated by a propane (LPG) powered engince,
driving a tendem hydrostatic pump system, creating a (skid-steer)
zero turn radius drive train.

Suface coverings and coatings are removed by lowered a weighted
blade onto the surface and moving forward under a high torque

drive system. The surface coating is removed by a exible sharpened
blade conforming to the oor surface, with the weight of the machine
holding the blade rmly to the oor. The weight does not allow the

blade to lift or ride over well-adhered sruface coating material, this

lifting off the oor coating.

After layers of carpet or laminated are removed the machine can
be connected to a grinde ror slicer attachment to either clean up
adhesive or remove stubborn coatings.

SAFETY and PRECAUTIONS

LIGHTNING STRIPPER

Before operating the Lightning please read the entire operation and safety manual
with complete undersating of the safety section. If you have any questions on safety

and precauction please call 1-866-636-7763.

There are several advantages to an effective safety program which include: lower
operating costs, lower workman compensations, less work time lost, high employee
morale, and less problems. No one can safely without knowing what precautions to
take to insure personal safety. Operators must know what safety equipment to wear,
which job practices are safe and which are not, and must be aware of what hazards
are possible in the work area. A regular schedule of Prevenative Maintenacne on your
equipment is the best protection against unpleasand surprises that slow production
and sometime result in injuries. Here are a few suggested safety tips.

1. The rst step before any maintenance or inspection takes place should be to
stop the engine and disconnect the battery terminals.

2. Wear proper eye and ear protection and heavy duty work gloves at all times.

3. Practice good Preventative Maintenance.

4. Practice good housekeeping

5. Allow the Lightning to come to a complete stop, turn off engine and chock rear
wheels before performing any maintenance procedures

6. Replace worn parts when necessary.

7. Do not reach into blade or control arm areas which machine is in operation.

8. Do not attempt to open and access door until the machine has come to a
complete stop and the engine and propane is turned off.

9. Be sure all electrical inspecations or changes are done by qualied electrician.

10. Loose surface coating can cause dangerous footing. Always be alert and careful.

11. After replacing parts be sure all tools used are removed from the machine. Be
sure all bolts and nuts are tightened. The loose connection of a rotating part

could cause the part to y off with explove force, causing serious damage to

the equipment and possible injury to the operator.

12. Always lower blade to the ground when the machine is unoccupied by the
operator. Serious bodily injury may result if arms are not in the lowered positions
when not occupied.

13. Never allow unauthorised personnel or the general public into the work area.

14. The work area should be barricaded off to adequately keep all untrained
persons out of the work site. If an unauthorised person enters the work are,
stop the machine immediately and do not restart the machinery until they have
left the work area.
