HYDRAULIC SAFE OPERATION MAINTAINING A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT Establishing a safe working environment in and around your hydraulic equipment is just common sense. The easiest and most effective way to avoid problems is to make sure associates understand their equipment, know how to operate it safely and recognize the danger it represents if handled carelessly. A few things you must be aware of include: 1.
HYDRAULIC SAFE OPERATION PRESSURE (continued) 3. If the coupling was misaligned during installation, threads may have been damaged. Replace and carefully install. 4. Over torquing of a threaded connection can stretch and damage threads and mating seat angles. Over torquing can also damage the staking area of the nut. Under torquing does not allow proper sealing.
Extra copies of the manual and video are available. In cases where personnel have an insufficient knowledge of the English language, proper training must be obtained before using the 5600 machine. 1. KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT: Read this manual and view instruction video carefully to learn equipment applications and limitations as well as potential hazards associated with this type of equipment.

Remove blade or keep blade lowered to the floor (disarm machine). 24. MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAME PLATES: These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact National for a free replacement. 25. MACHINE IS HEAVY, DO NOT DROP: Counter weights are heavy. Take caution when removing or reassembling.
USE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINE Included with the 5600 are a 75007 Lapel CO Monitor and a 75008 Clip. It is recommended that the operator and anyone in the working vicinity wear the detector. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury and/or death.
• Wear gloves when changing blades. Always shut machine off when changing blades. The 5600 Propane Ride-On should be inspected for damage and defects at least once during every working shift. Starting and stopping procedures must be followed in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
The 5600 Propane Ride-On has been equipped with a safety switch under the seat, which requires the operator to be seated before the 5600 can be operated. Do not attempt the start-up procedure with out being seated on the machine.
BATTERY SAFE OPERATION CAUTION - PRECAUTIONS: a) Contact with electrolytic acid can cause skin irritation and damage clothing. Wear a protective apron, gloves and goggles when working with batteries. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes. b) Remove personal metal items such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries.
MOTOR SAFE OPERATION CAUTION - PRECAUTIONS: Before servicing, allow engine to cool down. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury. CHECK FLUID LEVELS Check oil & coolant levels before operating. CHECK FOR LEAKS Inspect propane gas line for leaks. Page 14...
Tighten hose fitting. Replace hose or fitting if necessary 5. The machine has no power a. Check valve adjustment a & b. Contact National with the engine running b. Check hoses for leaks Service Center immediately at 3500 rpm.
TROUBLESHOOTING Trouble Possible Cause Remedy 8. Excessive amount of oil a. Outside oil spilled on a. Clean machine thoroughly on chassis chassis and see if oil returns b. Loose hose connections b. Check for loose hoses c. Loose tank fittings c.

OPERATING CONTROLS START UP PROCEDURE POWER /Key Start (Figure A) 1. Open propane tank valve by turning knob CCW until fully open. 2. Operator must be seated in seat. The machine will not start unless the operator is seated. 3. Insure that hydraulic levers are “centered”. 4.
OPERATING CONTROLS HYDRAULIC LEVERS (CONTINUED) • Move levers slowly. • Both levers forward move the machine forward. • Both levers backward move the machine backward. • The left lever forward and the right lever backward turn the machine quickly to the right. •...

ONOXIDE ETECTOR Included with the 5600 are a 75007 Lapel CO Monitor and a 75008 Clip. It is recommended that the operator and anyone in the working vicinity wear the detector. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury and/or death. The use of detectors helps to verify if work area is safe from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
OPERATIONAL TIPS CASTER Keep clean and free of debris, make sure it can move freely. Clean as needed. Inspect before each use. Grease once a month. Moving a "weighted" machine only on the front caster and not on the cutting head or the Front Wheel Assembly can seem to make the machine turn sluggish.
LOADING/UNLOADING • Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or transported • Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact. • NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline. • Removing added weights help to make the machine easier and safer to move in and out of a vehicle. WARNING: Machine has a swivel front caster.
LOADING/UNLOADING FORKLIFT CUPS There are two forklift cups mounted under the front of the machine (See Figure A). Slide fork lift forks through forklift cups. Slide forks all the way back to touch the rear tire (See Figure B). Before lifting machine, secure machine to fork lift with heavy 3000 lb.
CENTER OF GRAVITY Be aware of your surroundings and machines operating angles. When changing from a low slide plate to a high slide plate setting or a low cutting head angle to a high cutting head angle, the operating “attitude” of the machine changes.
JOB SITE MOVEMENT • Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or transported • Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact. • NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline. •...
JOB SITE MOVEMENT TO MOVE MACHINE WITHOUT POWER (PUSHING MACHINE) Forward: To move the machine forward, levers need to be pushed forward. To lock levers in place, connect a bungee-strap from each lever (pushing levers forward), pulling straps down to and connecting to the front plate (See Figure A).
WHEEL SIZES WHEEL SIZE The 18'' wheel comes standard on the machine. This wheel will work on all job types of application and heavy debris build-up (vct, ceramic etc.). It also works best for slippery/slimy residue, ie. double stick. Keep wheels clean and free of debris, make sure it can move freely. Clean as needed. Inspect before each use.
CUTTING HEAD & BLADES DIALING IN THE MACHINE Dialing in the machine is matching the correct cutting head, blade size, blade angle and added weight to the machine to make the material removal as easy as possible. For every material being removed, there is an optimum blade width, thickness, sharpness, angle and bevel (bevel up or bevel down).
CUTTING HEAD & BLADES WEIGHT VS. SHARPNESS The most common way to compensate for a dull blade is to add more weight and raise the blade angle (see re-scrape setting). Weight allows dull blades to be used to a point. Weight also causes blades to dull and break easier.
CUTTING HEAD & BLADES SHANK BLADE INSERTION Shank blades do not require a cutting head. Insert desired shank blade into cutting head holder. Secure with cutting head clip. BLADE SETTING • Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. •...
BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP CERAMIC SET-UP Slide plate should be set low, 1/4" to 1/2" off the floor. Use a Shank Blade or a Shank Blade with a carbide tip. WOOD SET-UP Slide plate should be set low, 1/4" to 1/2" off the floor. Use Shank Blades, Shank Blades with carbide tips or a 6"or 8"...
BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP RE-SCRAPING SET-UP Slide plate should be set high, 6'' to 8'' off the floor. Use a Cutting Head from 8" to 27" with Scraper Blades to match cutting head size. A 15" scrapper blade would use a 14" Cutting Head. Razor Blades are faster but a Cutting Head from 8"...
BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP DITCHING CROSS ROOM DITCHING When removing hard to remove ceramic, Vct or vat, cross-room ditching will help to make the removal easier. Using a blade 2" to 6" in width, make ditches 1' to 2' apart in the same direction the machine will be removing the goods (See Figure A).
BLADES TYPES OF BLADES PREMIUM HIGH TEMPERED BLADES (.062) Works on all glued down carpets, VCT, VAT, rubber tile, cork, re-scraping adhesive, elastomeric coatings. Great for floor accumulations. Ultra high quality spring steel is extra hard for long blade life between sharpening.
BLADES BLADE SHARPENING Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. In use, blades develop a back-bevel (See Figure A). When re-sharpening, blade will not be truly sharp until all back-bevel is gone. Note: Thinner blades are easier to sharpen, but they also break easier. •...
