ASBESTOS WARNING – Resilient flooring, backing, lining felt, paint, or asphaltic "cutback" adhesives can
contain asbestos fibers. Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Do not sand, dry sweep, dry
scrape, drill, saw, bead blast, or mechanically chip or pulverize. Regulations may require that the material be
tested to determine the asbestos content. Consult the document "Recommended Work Practices for
Removal of Existing Resilient Floor Coverings" available from the Resilient Floor Covering Institute.
LEAD WARNING – Certain paints can contain lead. Exposure to excessive amounts of lead dust presents a
health hazard. Refer to applicable federal, state, and local laws and the publication "Lead Based Paint:
Guidelines for Hazard Identification and Abatement in Public and Indian Housing" available from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
7. Moisture must be measured using the RH Relative Humidity test method per ASTM F2170 standard.
Moisture content should not exceed the allowable limit of the selected Ecore adhesive, or installation
should not proceed until the situation has been corrected.
8. In the event that a moisture mitigation system is required, it must conform to the ASTM F3010 Standard
Practice for Two-Component Resin Based Membrane Forming Moisture Mitigation Systems for use Under
Resilient Floor Coverings.
9. Perform pH tests on all concrete floors. If greater than the allowable limit of the selected Ecore adhesive,
neutralize prior to installation.
10. Adhesive bond tests should be conducted in several locations throughout the area. Glue down 3´ x 3´
test pieces of the flooring with the recommended adhesive and trowel. Allow to set for 72 hours before
attempting to remove. A sufficient amount of force should be required to remove the flooring and, when
removed, there should be adhesive residue on the subfloor and on the back of the test pieces.
IV. Material Storage and Handling
1. Material should be delivered to the job site in its original, unopened packaging with all labels intact.
2. Material must be stored in a climate-controlled environment not to exceed 85°F (30°C)
3. Note: Shipping pallets, cradles, banding, etc. are not intended for storage. Store on end. Storing lying
down may cause permanent welting. Store on a clean, dry, smooth surface.
4. It is normal for Ebb Motivate and Flow Motivate to exhibit light or dark shading, especially at seams.
5. Inspect all materials for visual defects before beginning the installation. No labor claim will be
honored on material installed with visual defects. Verify the material delivered is the correct style,
color, and amount. Any discrepancies must be reported immediately before beginning installation.
6. The material and adhesive must be acclimated at room temperature for a minimum of 48 hours before
starting installation.
NOTE: DO NOT sharply fold or crease the material during handling or installation. This can result
in permanent visual damage to the wear layer which is not covered under warranty.
V. Installation – Roll Direction
1. PLEASE NOTE: Unroll and install Ebb Motivate and Flow Motivate in the same direction.
