. With the wrench provided with the Bronco,
loosen the two bolts on the blade clamp and
clean any debris under the clamp to ensure
proper seating of the new blade.
e.
Tighten the two bolts securely with the blade
in place. Always set blade angle as close to
horizontal as possible (highest on the blade angle
adjustment), without the machine disengaging
from the substrate. If the machine disengages
from the substrate increase the blade angle and
or reduce the blade width. A slight change in
blade angle makes a big difference in removal
efficiency.
f.
Lower machine back to the floor making sure
the lifting foot is completely retracted and/or
remove the hand operated jack.
Substrate Removal
a.
Inspect the floor prior to removal of any
substrate for expansion joints, floor nails and
bolts or any other obstructions such as electrical
and gas outlets that may cause damage to the
blade.
b.
When expansion joints are identified and
marked they should be navigated by a slight
angle to prevent the blade from engaging them at
right angles.
c.
It is important to divide the room into sections
and remove the substrate toward the walls. This
will keep debris away from the material yet to be
removed and reduce the build-up of scrap on the
floor area that you are maneuvering on. Removal
and clean up of the area will then be faster and
easier.
c.
Hallways are done in a manner that leaves the
removed substrate at the end of the hall where
the accumulated removal material will be
removed from. Make your removal paths in a
diagonal pattern. This will allow you to get close
to the walls.
Carpet Pulling:
There are some cases where the machine can be
used in conjunction with the Taylor Tools Lock
Jaws Carpet Clamp, (part #200) to pull the
carpet off the floor in 6'-12' widths. This is
usually the fastest way to remove carpet. Most
commonly done on "Direct Glue" or "Double
Stick" carpets.
