Introduction
The Terminator® 2100PRO Carpet and Tile Removal Machine is intended for use on demolition projects,
asbestos abatement projects, and smaller floor covering removal jobs. Designed and built by
experienced floor covering demolition and installation experts, the machine incorporates several design
features that are essential for efficient operation:
Tricycle wheelbase and short turning radius allows for better maneuvering and turning ability
– especially in narrow spaces.

Refer to the PSI Operation and Maintenance Manual for the GM 1.6L L4 Engine for complete
maintenance instructions. When working on this machine always take into consideration the warnings
about this machine and take extra care when evaluating the problem.
Engine
Before operating the T-2100Pro perform an inspection of the engine to verify all components are in place
and in good condition. The propane-powered liquid-cooled engine is located under the hood.
•Check the air cleaner, making sure it is clean and in good condition.
•Check the engine oil using the dipstick. If the oil is low, remove the oil filler cap and add oil to the
upper limit mark on the dipstick.
A safety guard covers the fan. NEVER operate the machine unless the guard is in place. Always
keep your hands away from the fan and all moving parts when the engine is running.
Figure 4 PSI 1.6L L4 Engine
Air Filter
The air filter helps prevent dust and dirt from entering the engine. Inspect the air filter before operating
each day and replace when dirty.
Oil Filter
Oil Dipstick
Oil Fill Cap

Cooling System
Check the coolant level of the radiator daily and only when the engine is cool. The recommended time to
do this is just prior to starting the engine for the first time each day. Maintain the coolant level at ¾ to 1½
inches below the filler neck seat of the radiator when the coolant is cold. When ever coolant level checks
are made, inspect the condition of the radiator cap rubber seal. Make sure it is clean and free of any dirt
particles which would keep it from seating on the filler neck seat. Rinse off with clean water if necessary.
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap under any conditions while the engine is operating.
Wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap, and turn slowly
to the first stop. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When all the
pressure has been released, press down on the cap and remove it slowly.
Note: DO NOT add coolant to any engine that has become overheated until the engine cools.
Adding coolant to an extremely hot engine can result in a cracked block or cylinder head.
The engine manufacturer recommends the cooling system be filled with a 50/50 mixture of anitfreeze and
water. The use of DexCool “Long Life” type coolant (orange) is required.
Hood and Operator Seat
The hood covers the engine, fan, fuel supply and their related systems. The top of the hood contains the
fire extinguisher, amber back up light, and the propane tank.
Radiator
Inspect the exterior of the radiator for obstructions. Remove all bugs, dirt, or foreign material. Use care
to avoid damaging the core fins. If available, use low-pressure compressed air or a stream of water in the
opposite direction of the normal airflow. Check all hoses and connections for leaks. If any of the hoses
are cracked, frayed, or feel spongy, they must be replaced.
Fan Belts
The water pump is usually belt driven. The same belt may also drive the fan and/or the alternator. The
drive belts should be properly adjusted at all times.
Maintenance
1) Grease the caster wheel at three fittings every 30 hours. There are three fittings, two on the
wheel and one on the housing.
2) Remove debris caught between the wheel and the housing. Clean out wheel and housing
regularly.
3) Change the engine oil every 3 months or 200 hours with SAE 10W-30. Check the engine owner’s
manual for oil recommendations for temperatures below 32°F.
4) Change the oil filter with AC Delco model: 94632619 – (available from Innovatech).
5) Check hydraulic oil once a week. Change every 18 months with NUTO H 46 or ISO 46 or if fluid
is overheated 160°F – 180°F or higher, filter every 60 hours.
6) Clean the caster wheel and rear tires using a wire wheel as necessary.
7) Change the air cleaner when dirty (available from Innovatech).
8) Change spark plugs every 12 months or 200 hours.
9) Inspect the machine for leaks, find and tighten fittings – do not over tighten fittings.
