SERVICE
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK
LIST
The normal operation of the Floor Stripper
produces extreme dirt and dust, along with levels
of random vibration. before operating the Floor
Stripper, 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):
DISCONNECT THE FLOOR STRIPPER FROM
THE EXTENSION CORD AND/OR POWER
S O U R C E R E C E P T A C L E B E F O R E
PERFORMING ANY SERVICE WORK OR
REPAIR. TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH TO
T H E O F F P O S I T I O N . F A I L U R E T O
PROPERLY DISCONNECT THE FLOOR
STRIPPER 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 Stripper 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 accumulations from the exterior
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.
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.
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 are in proper and readable condition.
Replace any missing or damaged safety decal and/or
information decal with a factory approved replacement
part only.
10) The Floor Stripper utilizes antivibration handle
grips on the operator handle to enhance control
and help dampen the forces experienced during the
covering removal process. Determine the handle is
equipped with properly fitting handle grips of sufficient
integrity to allow for proper job function as outlined in
this manual. Loose fitting handle grips or grips without
end caps should be replaced with factory approved
replacement parts only.
DO NOT OPERATE THE FLOOR STRIPPER
WITHOUT PROPERLY FITTED HANDLE
G R I P S O F S U F F I C I E N T I N T E G R I T Y
INSTALLED ON THE OPERATOR HANDLE.
OPERATING THE FLOOR STRIPPER WITH
IMPROPER OR NO HANDLE GRIPS CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
