2. To lift and carry the RIP-R-STRIPPER grab operator handle shaft, using
one hand, just above where handle attaches to main frame portion of unit.

3. As unit is lifted, using proper lifting procedures, use other hand to place
down-pressure on opposite end of operator handle. This will balance unit
on first hand in STEP 2. Operator handle will be fairly level to ground with
blade attachment clamp pointing upward. FIGURE 2

4. To reduce storage area and minimize damage, transport
RIP-R-STRIPPER in normal upright position with operator handle
assembly removed from main frame. Refer to STEP 7 of INSTALLING &
REMOVING OPERATOR HANDLE of MACHINE SET-UP section in this
manual to remove handle assembly.
a) DO NOT allow operator handle and main frame to make direct
contact with each other while transporting. Provide proper
protection between RIP-R-STRIPPER components and
vehicle.
b) DO NOT drop unit directly against exciter plate. Provide
support block under main frame to prevent direct contact
and/or damage to exciter plate and related components.
5. All equipment must be secured in/on vehicles with suitable strapping or
tie downs. Personnel should not be transported in same compartment as
equipment and supplies. Consult applicable OSHA regulations for specific
information.
DETERMINATION OF POTENTIAL SUBSURFACE HAZARDS IN
PROPOSED FLOORING REMOVAL LOCATION(S)
RIP-R-STRIPPER operator handle grips are constructed of non-metallic
composite material and do not guarantee operators will be properly insulated
from contact with charged electrical cables. RIP-R-STRIPPER and related
accessories are not classified as insulated.
RIP-R-STRIPPER is not sealed or insulated. DO NOT operate
RIP-R- STRIPPER in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials.
Refer to OSHA rules and regulations.
DETERMINATION OF POTENTIAL ABOVE SURFACE HAZARDS IN
PROPOSED FLOORING REMOVAL LOCATION(S)
Normal RIP-R-STRIPPER use is on level surfaces. Avoid other surface
conditions which can be dangerous. Special care must be exercised on
slippery, and/or difficult/uneven surfaces. Watch for cracks, high spots/other
surface irregularities or drop offs to lower floor levels. Operate only when/where
visibility and light are adequate for job at hand. Remove any trip/fall hazard
BEFORE operating RIP-R-STRIPPER. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
DANGER
• DO NOT attempt carrying/lifting/lowering RIP-R-STRIPPER
and/or doing so into/from transportation vehicle if person
is not in proper physical/mental condition or unfamiliar in
proper lifting procedures.
• Such actions can result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
WARNING
• Disconnect extension cord from RIP-R-STRIPPER when
traversing up and down stairs.
• Store RIP-R-STRIPPER power cord on operator handle
retention device when traversing up and down stairs.
•
Improperly stored/connected cord can entrap and/or
entangle personnel.
•
Such occurrence can result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
DANGER
• Always assume floor covering removal location contains
buried underground obstructions.
• BEFORE attempting to operate RIP-R-STRIPPER in
proposed location(s), call 811 and/or visit
www.Call811.com .
• Contact all appropriate agencies to determine exact
location(s) of all buried pipelines, powerlines and material
debris.
•
Many utilities and other agencies will perform these tasks
at minimal charge or at no cost. Have all subsurface
hazards marked for easy recognition.
•
Direct contact with these and other subsurface hazards
can result in property damage and/or personal injury
through such things as electrocution and/or explosion.
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to operate RIP-R-STRIPPER, identify/mark all
potential subsurface hazards in proposed floor covering removal
location(s). Potential subsurface hazards may include, but may not
be limited to the following:
1. Buried debris, rotted timbers or wood planking.
2. Buried pressurized pipelines (e.g. natural gas, propane,
etc.)
3. Buried electrical cables.
CAUTION
•
An improperly secured RIP-R-STRIPPER and related
accessories can fall from moving vehicle and result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
