6. Deploy breaker accessory tool locking device to properly retain accessory
tool in receiver. Deployment methods or procedures may differ between
manufacturers and breaker models. Consult breaker manufacturer for
specific information. FIGURE 18 is for illustrative purposes only.

7. Retract integral kick stands and secure clamps allowing full accessory
tool contact with level work surface.
8. Determine full accessory tool cutting edge contacts work surface. If not,
adjust right and/or left rear wheels as necessary until full tool edge
contacts work surface using (2) 15/16 inch (24 mm) open
end/combination wrenches. FIGURE 19
FIGURE 19
NOTE: For proper floor covering removal action, even tool wear, increased
productivity and reduced operator fatigue/stress, full accessory tool cutting
edge width must contact work surface/floor covering interface.
9. To remove accessory tool, redeploy kickstands and reverse STEPS 5 &
6.
10. If RIP-R-STRIPPER is to be placed back into service immediately lower
machine so tool rests on floor then reverse procedure in Step 1 under
INSTALLING & REMOVING ACCESSORY TOOLS. If not being placed
back into immediate service, refer to STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS section
of this manual.
9 APPLICATION THEORY & TECHNIQUES
TH EORY OF OPERATION
The RIP-R-STRIPPER operates on principle of accessory tools directly
impacting (back and forth) action to remove a variety of floor covering materials
from work surfaces. This action is supplied by an electrically powered breaker
secured to main frame of machine. Accessory tools utilized will affect type of
materials to be removed, material removal rate(s) and resulting smoothness of
work surface.
Floor coverings removal process is directly controlled by:
1. Tool type, impact angle and sharpness.
2. Sufficient machine weight and/or down force as provided by operator to
accessory tool to effectively penetrate and remove floor covering
material.
3. Adequate force exerted against RIP-R-STRIPPER by operator to push
accessory tool against floor covering material to deliver acceptable
productivity rates.
4. Type, density, thickness and adhesion of adhesives, mastics, thinsets
and type of floor covering material.
5. No two floor covering materials are exactly alike, no two floor covering
materials can be removed by exact same method and overall operator
fed rates vary. The floor covering removal process, along with operator
experience, skill and common sense, suggests flooring removal is a
matter of trial and error and directly determines overall success of the job
application.
ACCESSORY TOOL TYPES AND APPLICATIONS
RIP-R-STRIPPER uses electric breakers normally incorporating industry
standard 1-1/8 inch (28.5 mm) hexagon x 6 inch (152.4 mm) shank accessory
tools supplied by a number of manufacturers. Variances in shank configuration
can exist between stock models and manufacturers. For most job applications,
overall accessory tool length will vary between 18 and 22 inches (457.2 mm
and 558.8 mm). Accessory tools are forged from high carbon steel and heat
treated. FIGURE 20
FIGURE 20
Individual accessory tool or blade design will vary, but basic operational
characteristics are identical: impact against floor surface and remove floor
covering material. This common operational characteristic through extensive
testing has led to use of the following popular configurations:
Standard 1 & 3 inch (25.4 mm & 76.2 mm) Wide Chisels
1. Tools remove ceramic tiles and glued-down type hardwood floors. Tool
width selection is determined by bond strength of flooring materials to
cement surface. Normal removal process practice starts by using 3 inch
(76.2 mm) chisel to determine flooring removal effectiveness.
