PRIOR TO START UP
Prior to tile removal with the EcoStrip provide the following:
A. Make sure to clean all dirt and debris from the floor surface prior to tile removal.
B. Whenever possible, strip excess wax and or coating build-up on floor surface.
C. Familiarize yourself with all fire extinguishers, fire safety equipment, and emergency exits.
D. Remove any dust, dirt or waxy residue build-up on heat panel surface.
E. Remove any dust or dirt build-up on the controls and control panel.
F. Make sure you have heat resistant gloves for the HOT tile removal.
G. You might have to put on the handle if the unit was shipped to your location. When you put the handle on make sure to connect the power plug.
START-UP
A. Position unit over a section of concrete to allow unit to heat to desired temperature. If concrete area is unavailable, position the unit over tile being removed.
B. Check unit to make sure breaker switch is in the off position.
C. Plug power cord into a grounded 20Amp outlet.
D. Turn breaker switch to the ON position. The timer light will turn on once the unit is tilted back slightly to indicate the unit is heating.
E. Heat panel will take about 15-20 minutes to heat to temperature.
F. After 20 minutes, the timer will expire and the machine will shut off. The timer can be reset by tilting the unit towards the operator.
CAUTION: While heat panel is heating to temperature if positioned over tile, check the tile periodically to insure you are not over heating the tile. Unit may have to be moved to a new section of tile before unit is up to full temperature.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
At this point, the heat panel has heated to full temperature and is ready for heat application. The operator may use either the timer or the temperature controller as the main control source. Different floor characteristics such as the tile thickness, tile adhesive or just the material make-up of the tile will result in different heat-up and removal time. A routine will quickly be established for each new removal application. The following is the procedure:
1. Place the EcoStrip N100 over designated area of tile to be removed.
2. Pre-determine the amount of time needed to remove each tile.
3. Once time is reached, move the unit to a new section of tile to be removed.
4. While the unit is heating the new section of tile, remove the previous heated tile with a long reach scraper.
5. Once you have completed your removal application for the day, allow the time to reach zero or turn the power off. This will allow the heat panel to return to room temperature.
6. Place a block under the front of the unit’s shroud. This will allow air to circulate under the shroud helping to accelerate the cooling process.
7. This unit is ready to be moved, once a temperature of 100F or below is reached.
8. Disconnect plug from power source. The EcoStrip has now hit the point where is can safely transported.
WARNING: The units shroud may still be hot! Move the unit with extreme caution, wear heat resistant gloves.
