CAUTION
The concept of electrically powered, walk-behind type floor covering removal equipment has been successfully utilized for many years as a practical solution to many types of floor covering removal requirements. The basic concept is proven and well accepted within the associated marketplaces. Use of a FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER requires strenuous work activity. This type of work activity can be considered to be greater in magnitude than that experienced with the use of many other types of both light construction and lawn and garden related equipment. This type of work activity should only be attempted by operators of adequate physical size and stature, mental awareness and physical strength and condition. The body parts most noticeably affected during the covering removal process are the arms, hands, wrists, shoulders, lower back and legs. The process can also produce excessive stress/strain directly to the back muscles, spinal vertebrae and many other body parts. Back and wrist related pain can be side effects of utilizing a FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. A potential operator with a chronic back related problem or a history of back and/or other medically related problems should not attempt to utilize the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER may only aggravate this and any other medically related problem. Because of the diverse type of prevailing job applications, job site conditions, operator experience levels and operator physical characteristics, no warranty, guarantee, representation and/or liability is made by the manufacturer as to the absolute correctness or sufficiency of any operational procedure, operational position and/or technique. There is no absolute guarantee that an operator of any given experience level, physical size and/or physical condition will be immune to the possibility of and/or probable physical side effects of the normal use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Each potential operator must be made aware of and assume the operational and physical liability described and/or associated with the use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Improper use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER can result in property damage and/or personal injury, including death. Each potential operator not willing to assume the operational and physical liability described and/or associated with the use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, should not operate it. Proper levels of operator experience, skill and common sense are essential for maximizing the safe and efficient operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER.

DANGER
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 will require a level working surface of sufficient size and appropriate height.
1) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER 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 capscrews 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
DANGER
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

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
backwards toward the operator. FIGURE 2. Position the adjustable section at a comfortable height. Reinstall the threaded knobs and tighten until the studs trust up tight against the adjustable handle section.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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. Improper knob tension and/or improperly securing the operator handle to the main frame can result in an unstable platform configuration. An unstable platform configuration can result in property damage and/or personal injury.

THEORY OF OPERATION.
The SFCS16 FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is designed to operate on the principle of various blades and/or attachments oscillating with a random orbital movement to remove a wide variety of covering materials from work surfaces. Various types of multi­accessory blades and/or accessory attachments are secured to the exciter plate located on the bottom of the machine. The specific type of blade and/or accessory attachment utilized directly affects the type of material removed, the material removal rate and the resulting smoothness of the work surface.
The coverings removal process is directly controlled by these conditions:
1) The use of a suitable mechanism (blade or accessory attachment) of proper design and configuration to scrape against the work surface and remove material while delivering an acceptable service life.
2) Sufficient static weight supporting the blade or accessory attachment to allow it to effectively penetrate and remove the covering material.
3) Adequate force exerted against the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER by the operator that pushes the blade or accessory attachment against the covering material to deliver acceptable productivity rates.
4) Since no two covering materials are exactly a no two covering materials can be removed by the exact same method. The nature of the covering removal process, along with operator experience, skill and common sense, would suggest that efficient and productive material removal is a matter of trial and error. Combinations of blade or accessory attachment type, jobsite conditions, and feed rates are direct factors that will also determine the overall success of the job application.
BLADE CONFIGURATIONS, ACCESSORY ATTACHMENTS AND APPLICATIONS.
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER blades are fabricated from high carbon steel, precision machined and heat treated for extended service life. Blades a depict use on either concrete or wood surfaces. When utilized on concrete, the cutting edge is positioned facing up. FIGURE 3. On wood flooring surfaces, the
re marked to
like,

cutting edge faces down against the surface. FIGURE
4. This configuration allows the blade to skim over the surface and minimize any tendency to gouge or dig into the wood. A slotted blade configuration is employed to lower installation and remova l time. The slotted configuration is also intended to help minimize direct exposure of hands, arms and other body parts to the blade during the installation or removal process.
FIGURE 3
FIGURE 4
CAUTION
A protective covering is provided to protect the blade cutting edge from external damage and minimize the potential for property damage and/or personal injury.
Store the blade with the protective covering properly installed to minimize the effects of external damage to the cutting edge and the potential for property damage and/or personal injury.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
DANGER
THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP. IMPROPER HANDLING WHILE REMOVING FROM THE PACKAGE, REMOVING/REINSTALLING THE PROTECTIVE CUTTING EDGE COVER, INSTALLING/REMOVING FROM THE MACHINE OR WHILE IMPROPERLY TRANSPORTING CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
While individual blade or accessory atta and configuration may vary, basic operational
characteristics are identical: impact against a floor surface and remove the covering material. This common operational characteristic has led to the development of the following popular blade configurations and accessory attachments:
Angled Mastic Removal Blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide variety of adhesives, mastics and material residues from concrete surfaces. The steep angle increases the cutting edge position relative to the floor surf The angle increase allows the blade to better penetrate the material and then shear and scrape it from the floor surface. The cutting edge faces down toward the floor surface. Angled mastic blades are utilized on concrete surfaces only. Use on wood surfaces will only dig into and remove substrate material. FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 5
Straight Beveled Cutting Edge Blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide variety of VCT and linoleum tiles along with general material removal from concrete and wood surfaces. Some blades feature two cutting edges. Position the blade edge facing up for use on concrete surfaces.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
1) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizes an
offset weight design (termed the exciter) that moves the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment with a random orbit oscillation. This design configuration substantially enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as long as the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment does not come in direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the floor. Direct contact with such an obstruction can result in rapid and jerky directional movement of the machine. This occurrence can lead to loss of machine control, property damage and/or personal injury. In most operating situations, direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the work
ace will, at a minimum, result in damage to the
surf blade and/or ceramic tile ripper attachment.

4) The wide variety of potential covering ma along with the corresponding variety of jobsite environments, makes it impossible to develop a standardized operating procedure for the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER will require constant trial a nd error testing until satisfactory results are achieved. Experience, gained over time, along with good common sense will help minimize the amount of necessary testing. Many factors will directly affect the operating parameters and/or techniques utilized for a specialized job application. Some of these factors include:
a) Work surface material yield and tensile values. As a general rule, these values will determine material removal rate per unit of time. Ma and tensile values will characteristically resist/limit penetration. For such materials, the accepted procedure is to decrease blade width and determine optimum blade angle relative to the floor surface. This will require increasing or decreasing the blade angle with the Back Saver™ Blade Control System. Other added benefits to this technique are decreased vibration, less operator fatigue and increased component service life.
b) Higher material removal rates can sometimes be achieved by making a series of passes 90 degrees to each other to form a waffle like pattern. This technique is especia accumulations of rubber type materials, material residues and dirt debris from industrial floors.

c) The covering removal process can be extremely abrasive to the blade cutting edge. Blades can be
sharpened in the field by the use of the metal file stored on the fixed section of the operator handle. Use of the file in the field will not duplicate the original blade manufacturing process, but can significantly increase overall productivity rates versus the continued use of a dull blade. Remove the blade from the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER per the procedures outlined in this manual. Clamp the blade in a suitable vice. Use the file to sharpen the blade with a procedure similar to that of sharpening a rotary lawnmower blade. FIGURE 28.

electrocution concern for the operator and/or associated work personnel.
DANGER
WATER OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS DEPOSITED ON THE WORK SURFACE INCREASES THE ELECTROCUTION POTENTIAL FOR THE OPERATOR AND/OR ASSOCIATED WORK PERSONNEL. DETERMINE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IS PROPERLY GROUNDED (NO FAULTS), THE EXTENSION CORD IS FREE OF CUTS, ABRASIONS, EXPOSED CABLE STRANDS AND THAT THE GFI PROPERLY FUNCTIONS TO ELIMINATE FAULT CONCERNS. IMPROPER MACHINE GROUNDING, EXTENSION CORDS AND/OR GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
8) Normal usage of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER will allow the build-up and accumulation of work surface materials on the surfaces. It is highly recommended that both the interior and exterior surfaces be properly cleaned after the completion of each use.
CAUTION
Failure to properly clean the interior surfaces of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER can result in dried material build-up and accumulation directly affecting bearing service life.
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING ANY SOLVENT TO REMOVE ACCUMULATED MATERIALS FROM THE SURFACES OF THE MACHINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS. MANY SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR INTRODUCE FLAME IN THE WORK AREA. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR PROPER SAFETY APPAREL.
DANGER
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ALL ACCUMULATED MATERIALS PER OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY CODES AND REGULATIONS. MANY ACCUMULATED MATERIALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS AND REQUIRE PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. CONTACT THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT AND/OR PRIVATE AGENCIES FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
9) When the covering removal process creates a considerable amount of loose material on the work surface, it can become almost impossible to determine proper material removal depths and the extent of work already accomplished. The problem can be compounded if a vacuum system is not utilized. Loose material should be removed by sweeping or other, appropriate processes and the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilized until conditions again warrant removing the accumulated material.
STOPPING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER ON THE JOBSITE.
1) Stopping the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is accomplished by moving the ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle to the OFF position. For safety considerations, it is also recommended that the extension cord be disconnected from both the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER and electric power source whenever the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is not in use on the job site.
OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER.
1) The specific type and/or density of adhesives and mastics which bond coverings to the work surface can directly affect removal rates. Many adhesives or mastics remain flexible in the fully cured state. These types of materials a re usually da rker or black in color. The adhesives and mastics which become dried in the fully cured state are usually yellowish or opaque in color. These types of materials will usually require less effort to remove than the dark types which remain flexible even when cured.
2) As a general rule, the lower the adhesive or mastic density (amount) utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the lower the force required to "shea through the bond and thus, the greater the covering removal rate.
3) As a general rule, the thicker the adhesive or mastic utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the greater the force required to "shear" through the bond and thus, the lower the covering removal rate.
4) The Back-Saver™ Blade Control System is designed to adjust blade angle relative to the work

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
surface without first stopping the machine to adjust mechanical linkages or bend over to operate a crank lever system. The Back-Saver™ Control System features a crank lever located on the operator console. FIGURE 29. Crank the lever clockwise to decrease the blade angle. Turn the crank lever counterclockwise to increase the blade angle.
FIGURE 29
5) Typically, adhesive/mastic densities or thickness change on the job site usually as a result of application rates on the work surface. This, in turn directly affects bond densities and thickness. As these factors change, the blade angle can be adjusted with the Back
aver™ Blade Control System to help optimize
S covering removal rates.
6) Keep the extension cord free and clear the the main frame area and orbiting blade/cera mic tile ripper attachment while the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is in operation. Contact with the blade can damage the extension cord and create a potential electrocution concern. In the event of damage, replace the extension cord with a factory approved replacement part only.
DANGER
KEEP THE EXTENSION CORD FREE AND CLEAR OF THE MAIN FRAME AND BLADE AREA WHILE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IS IN OPERATION. CONTACT WITH THE MAIN FRAME AND BLADE AREA CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DANGER
IN THE EVENT THE EXTENSION CORD BECOMES ENTANGLED ABOUT THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER AND/OR THE OPERATOR, TURN THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY STOP THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IN THIS OPERATING CONFIGURATION CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. DETERMINE THE EXTENSION CORD AND GFI ARE IN PROPER CONDITION TO CONTINUE OPERATION. REPLACE ANY DAMAGED COMPONENT WITH A FACTORY APPROVED REPLACEMENT PART ONLY.
DANGER
DISCONNECT THE EXTENSION CORD FROM THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER WHEN TRAVERSING UP AND DOWN STAIRWAYS. AN IMPROPERLY STORED/CONNECTED EXTENSION CORD CAN ENTRAP AND/OR ENTANGLE PERSONNEL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
7) Scoring blades are available to remove covering material such as rubber-backed carpet and linoleum from concrete and wood surfaces. The vertical ends of the scoring blade are designed to shear the covering and remove it in various widths as determined by the overall blade width. FIGURE 30.
FIGURE 30
CAUTION
Do not operate the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER with the vertical ends of the scoring blade facing down toward the work surface. In this configuration, damage to the work surface can result.

Service
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST.
The normal operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER produces extreme dirt and dust, along with levels of random vibration. Before operating the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, the following service list should be accomplished. This list is for reference only and is not intended to be all inclusive. Other topic
areas can be added at the discretion of the owner(s) and/or operator(s):
DANGER
DISCONNECT THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER FROM THE EXTENSION CORD AND/OR POWER
SOURCE RECEPTACLE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE WORK OR REPAIR. TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DISCONNECT THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER FROM THE POWER SOURCE DURING THESE ACTIVITIES CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1) Check all fasteners for proper torque values. If a fastener requires retorquing, consult a torque chart for the proper value. Properly discard and replace any worn fastener with a factory approved, replacement part.
2) Check the rubber elastomeric mounts for damage and/or wear. Replace as necessary.
3) Check the external support bearing mounted to the motor shaft for wear and proper alignment. Many loose covering materials that accumulate in and
around the support bearing area can be extremely abrasive. These materials can breach the bearing
seals and significantly reduce load capacity and service life.
4) Determine the interior sections of the frame are free of material build-up. Such build-ups can restrict the operating process and present a potential safety hazard. Clean and remove any material build-up from the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER after each use.
5) Keep loose materials from accumulating around the motor cooling fan. Remove the fan shroud and clean as necessary.
6) Remove material surfaces of the electric motor. The electric motor is a totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC) design. Keep the fan fins clear of material accumulations to enhance air flow over the motor exterior for cooling purposes.
CAUTION
accumulations from the exterior
Observe all applicable safety precautions for the solvent.
7) Lubricate the caster wheel bearings with a dry film lubricant. Use of other lubricant types can attract foreign materials and reduce bearing service life.
8) Zerk® type grease fittings are provided in two separate locations: a) To lubricate the Back Saver™ Blade Control System jackscrew.
SFCS-16 OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #4 (05/28/09) PAGE 29
b) To lubricate the exciter bearing housing casting. The exciter unit utilizes a sealed type ball bearing. The Zerk® fitting provides lubrication for the self-aligning feature of the bearing unit. Consult the LUBRICATION section for additional information.
Sleeve type bearings are self-lubricating and will not normally require additional lubrication during their normal service life. Ball type bearings are shielded or sealed and will not normally require additional lubrication during their normal service life.
9) Determine that all safety decals and operational information decals (including the applicable Quik Tips
ation) is in proper and readable condition.
inform Replace any missing or damaged safety decal and/or information decal with a factory approved replacement part only.
10) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizes antivibration handle grips on the operator handle to enhance control and help dampen the forces experienced during the covering removal process.
