representative. Federal law requires that a claim be
filed within a specific time period. If missing parts are

The installation of the adjustable section of the
operator handle will require a level working surface of
sufficient size and appropriate height.
1) The Bon Floor Stripper incorporates an operator
handle design that folds for transport and storage.
The handle is secured to the main frame at two loca-
tions; 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.
