INFORMATION.
9) When the covering removal process creates a
considerable amount of loose material on the work
surface, it can become almost impossible to determine
proper material removal depths and the extent of work
already accomplished. The problem can be
compounded if a vacuum system is not utilized. Loose
material should be removed by sweeping or other,
appropriate processes and the RIP-R-STRIPPER
utilized until conditions again warrant removing the
accumulated material.
STOPPING THE RIP-R-STRIPPER ON THE
JOBSITE.
1) Stopping the RIP-R-STRIPPER is accomplished by
moving the ON/OFF switch located on the operator
handle to the OFF position. For safety considerations,
it is also recommended that the extension cord be
disconnected from both the RIP-R-STRIPPER
and electric power source whenever the
RIP-R-STRIPPER is not in use on the job site.
O P E R AT I O N A L PA R A M E T E R S A N D
TECHNIQUES FOR THE RIP-R-STRIPPER.
1) The specific type and/or density of adhesives and
mastics which bond coverings to the work surface can
directly affect removal rates. Many adhesives or mastics
remain flexible in the fully cured state. These types of
materials are usually darker or black in color. The
adhesives and mastics which become dried in the fully
cured state are usually yellowish or opaque in color.
These types of materials will usually require less effort
to remove than the dark types which remain flexible
even when cured.
2) As a general rule, the lower the adhesive or mastic
density (amount) utilized to adhere the covering to the
work surface, the lower the force required to “shear”
through the bond and thus, the greater the covering
removal rate.
3) As a general rule, the thicker the adhesive or mastic
utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the
greater the force required to “shear” through the bond
and thus, the lower the covering removal rate.
4) The Back-Saver™ Blade Control System is
designed to adjust blade angle relative to the work
surface without first stopping the machine to adjust
mechanical linkages or bend over to operate a crank
lever system. The Back-Saver™ Control System
features a crank lever located on the operator console.
FIGURE 29. Crank the lever clockwise to decrease the
blade angle. Turn the crank lever counterclockwise to
increase the blade angle.
