5110 ADDING ADDITIONAL WEIGHT
FRONT WEIGHT
Adding weight to the front of the machine is necessary for difficult to remove goods such as, VCT, VAT,
ceramic, thin-set or wood. Machine includes nine 37 lb. front weights with handles. Set front weights in
front weight compartment (See Figure A).
REAR WEIGHT
Adding rear weight creates more traction. The heavier the machine, usually the better it will work,
especially on hard to remove goods.
Machine includes one 100 lb. rear weight. Slide back weight in provided pocket under rear cowl (See
Figure B). Secure locking bolt with either a 9/16 or 3/4 wrench (size varies).
CAUTION: Remove added weight from machine before transporting or loading machine. Failure to
do so could cause loss of control of machine, damage to machine or property and bodily injury.
CAUTION: A heavy machine cannot be used on wood subfloors or raised panel computer floors,
(keep machine light). Always check floor for proper strength to support the weight of the machine.
