Engine Safety DANGER: Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless and can cause injury or death if inhaled. Do not use equipment indoors without adequate ventilation. Refer to OSHA guidelines and regulations concerning maximum levels of exposure to carbon monoxide gases and other hazards associated with using internal combustion engines.
4. Initial Operation Before using the machine it is essential to inspect the machine every day. It is not permitted to use the machine if it does not pass all of the checkpoints below. Checkpoints of Gas Cylinder Safety: Check the bottle for any damage before use. ...
5. Operation During the operation of the BMS-220LP, the following additional safety instructions must be followed closely.

Driving the Machine The wheels of the machine are controlled by the two outside handles (1 and 3). Pushing both handles forwards, the machine drives forwards. Pulling both handles backwards, the machine drives backwards. The driving speed depends on the position of the handles. Pushing the right handle forwards the machine turns to the left. Pushing one handle forwards and pulling another handle backwards the machine will turns around its axis.
Controlling Tool Position Cylinder The tool position cylinder is controlled by the left inner handle. Push the handle to lower the tool and pull the handle to lift the tool to the proper cutting angle. Continuing to push the handle will lift the front of the machine. This will need to be done when doing maintenance on the machine.
6. Maintenance Warning: Engine, exhaust system and hydraulic component temperatures could be in excess of 200 °F causing severe burns if touched. Pay attention to Chapter 3 "Safety" during maintenance and repair works. Failures due to inadequate or incorrect maintenance may generate very high repair costs and long downtimes of the scraper.

Hydraulic System Instruction To check the oil level on the side of the tank is an installed indicator. The level shouldn’t be lower than half the range of the indicator. Next to the indicator is a plug which can be removed to fill the reservoir. 1) Oil level indicator 2) Plug to refill oil in tank At least one time during the year the oil from system and filter should be replaced.

3) Drain plug 4) Oil filter Before doing any maintenance, disconnect the power and block machine in stable position. Because most of fittings in machine are O-ring style, it is important is to know how to solve O-ring leaks. Fittings should be tightened with the proper wrench size.
7. 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.

Blade Setting • Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. • Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type, affects performance. • If the material isn’t coming up easily, use a smaller blade for best results. •...
8. Blade Application A great deal of work can be accomplished in a short amount of time using the scraper. To do this however, the operator must use the correct blade type and correct blade angle. Often when the blade begins to dull, it is tempting to raise the angle of the blade.
Page 20
Many different floor conditions exist but the hard and fast rule for scraping is that the tougher the material being removed, the skinnier the blade. The best course of action is to start small and the move to wider blades as per the conditions of the job.
Page 21
Working place should be keep clean. Furthermore; ensure the floor is cleaned before crosshatching to ensure the best possible material removal. Excess debris and dirt can make the blade dull quickly. Dull blades can be sharpening by using electric grinder with disc of 120 grit or finer. Also a tooth hand file can be used.
Page 22
Types of Blades Different blades are required for different materials and different sub-straights. Although the choice is situation dependent, below are describe a few examples of common industry practice: Self-scoring blades used to vinyl, carpet tiles, soft to medium PVC, soft cork, linoleum, enhancer and unibond hot melts.
Page 23
Thin coating set-up: slide plate with distance from 6” to 8” to the floor or from 1/4” to 1/2” off the wood. Correct distance need to be set after tests. Preferred application is cutting head (8” to 26”) with Razor Blades. But it is possible also to work with cutting head (8” to 14”) with standard blade.
9. Ditching Cross room ditching Ditch 2” Tile 12” To 6” To 24” Run the machine the same direction that the ditches are made When removing hard to remove ceramic, VCT or VAT, cross-room ditching will help to make the removal easier. Using a blade 2”...
Page 25
Checker Board Ditching Ditch should be as wide as possible Carpet should be from 48” to 72” Run the machine crossways from the directions that the ditches are made To make carpet removal and debris cleanup easier, checker board ditching is very helpful. Using as wide of a self- scoring blade as possible, make ditches apart crossways from the way the machine will be removing the materials.
