General Description The Storm is powered by an electric motor driving a tandem hydrostatic pump system, creating a (skid-steer) zero turn radius drivetrain. Surface covering and coatings are removed by lowering a weighted blade onto the surface and moving forward under a high torque drive system. A flexible sharpened blade conforming to the floor surface then removes the surface coating.
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS Before operation of the STORM please read the entire operation and safety manual with complete understanding of the safety section. If you have any questions about safety and/or precautions please call 1-866-636-7763. A regular schedule of Preventive Maintenance on your equipment is the best protection against unpleasant surprises that could slow production and/or result in injuries.

● Always allow a buffer safety zone around all surface preparation activity. ● The STORM is not a toy. All operators must be over 18 years of age, and must have read and reviewed the safety and procedures manual before operating the machinery.
■ Possible employee exposure to nuisance dust during cutting, grinding, machining, polishing, sanding, scraping, and so forth. Possible Solutions ■ Identify exposure scenarios and perform appropriate evaluations. ○ Perform exposure measurements for the compounds used. ○ Keep exposures below acceptable exposure levels. ■...

reduce the risk of electric shock—do not use ground adapters or modify the plug. Do not touch uninsulated portions of the output connector or uninsulated battery terminals. Disconnect the AC supply before making or breaking the connections to the battery. Do not open or disassemble the charger.

● When mated with a Delta-Q sealed AC cord, the on board charger meets IP66 specifications, making it dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. If a cord set with an unsealed connector is used, the plug and connector must be periodically inspected to ensure the contacts are clean and dry.

If any other type of battery is installed on the STORM, your charger profile may need to be changed. Your STORM SS model will have 2 on board Delta Q Chargers. To be able to use both of these chargers at the same time for faster charger, each one has to be plugged into a different circuit otherwise it will trip a circuit breaker from in the building due to too much amp draw.
The Storm SS model will have a black throttle dial next to the red knob. This should be set to the “OFF” position while initially pulling the red knob up.
Your Storm is equipped with wheel scrapers that scrape whatever debris you run over like VCT off the tires. If you notice your Storm isn’t getting traction or is carrying debris around you may have to loosen 2 bolts on the...
BATTERY CARE AND MAINTENANCE DANGER OF EXPLODING BATTERIES Lead acid batteries can produce explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen. Take the following precautions: ● Never leave batteries in an airtight or sealed enclosure. ● Charge batteries in accordance with the instructions given in this manual.
Page 12
● Never use another charger not designated by the manufacturer - OEM Products Inc. As of this writing, Concorde does not know of any Lifeline® AGM batteries that have failed due to thermal runaway. See the LIFELINE® TECHNICAL...
TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS The temperature of the battery has a significant impact on its performance and life capability. Battery capacity is reduced significantly in cold temperatures. It should be realized that the temperature of the battery itself and ambient temperature can be vastly different. While ambient temperatures can change very quickly, battery temperature change is much slower.

SERVICING Lifeline® AGM batteries do not need electrolyte additions as do flooded lead-acid batteries, but periodic servicing is essential to assure continued integrity of the battery system. Servicing should include good record keeping to document the life history of the battery system and to identify whether corrective action needs to be taken.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE DAILY MAINTENANCE ● Check hydraulic oil level in tank by removing the filler cap and ensuring the oil level is within 2 inches of the top of the tank. ● Inspect for hydraulic leaks ● Retorque Wheel lug bolts to 100 ft/lbs. and Axle nut to at least 200 ft/lbs.
