Uncrating The Terminator® And Preparing It For
Operation
When you receive the Terminator®, inspect the outside of the
crate completely, to detect damage to the crate itself. If it is
damaged, notify the carrier immediately and follow his/her
instructions to le a claim.
Carefully uncrate the machine and inspect it for damage that
may have occurred during shipping. If the shipment is dam-
aged, notify the carrier immediately and le a claim in the
normal manner.
Check packing slip for complete shipment. If shipment is
incomplete, notify our Customer Service Department within 24
hours.
Remove the crate debris, set aside the blades and other pack-
ages, and prepare the Terminator® for operation:
Raise the hood and prop it open with the hood brace. Be
sure the tip of the brace is rmly secure under the latch. DO
NOT MOVE THE TERMINATOR® MACHINE WITH THE LID
OPEN!
Inspect batteries for spillage during shipment. Check battery
water levels before starting the Terminator®.
CAUTION! Wear acid-resistant gloves and safety glasses
and use extreme care when checking battery water levels.
DO NOT WORK NEAR A FLAME OR SPARKS.
To remove the TERMINATOR® from crate with a forklift:
1) Remove footrest by pulling the clevis pins out, which are
located on the right and left hand sides, then disconnect the
throttle cable. Pull out footrest; this will then expose the forklift
slots.
To remove the TERMINATOR® from crate without a forklift:
1) Plug the battery connecters together.
2) Take 2 x 4’s off the edge of the crate and between the wheels.
3) Place 2 x 4’s behind the crate of the rear of the machine.
4) Make a ramp with the 2 x 4’s and the crate material.
5) To enable power to the TERMINATOR®, turn the key, pull up
on red knob.
6) Depress foot pedal to start motor. Lift front wheel off of the
crate 5 inches by pulling back on the valve handle. (Front blade
holder will be on crate).
7) Pull back the left and right handles evenly and depress the
foot pedal slowly. The machine will start moving slowly back-
wards.
8) Ensure that both rear wheels come off the crate evenly. Fail-
ure to back off evenly could result in the machine tipping over
and harm to the operator.
9) As machine moves back, ensure that the center wheel clears
the crate. If center wheel does not clear the crate, depress
the center handle while pressing the foot pedal until the wheel
clears the crate.
10) Once machine is on the ramp, slide all the way to the bot-
tom, then lift jaw up and set center wheel down to the ground.
11) Whenever mounting or dismounting the TERMINATOR®,
ALWAYS disable the power by pressing down on the red power
knob.

Loading/Unloading Procedures:
• Do not load or unload the Terminator® on uneven ground.
• Ensure ramps into moving vehicles are stable and square to
the ground.
• Always turn the Terminator® OFF when you transport the
Terminator® by forklift or other vehicle.
• Load and unload the machine with a properly weighted fork-
lift or lift-gate.
• Make sure all safety stops are installed on a lift-gate before
loading or unloading.
• Never position yourself under or around the machine while
moving it with other machinery.
• Park the machine with the blade completely down after
loading.
• Properly secure the machine with chains, tire chocks, and
other necessary tie downs.
• Never ride in a moving vehicle next to a Terminator®. It may
tip, causing severe injury.
Operator Controls
The operator controls consist of the drive and blade height le-
vers, foot pedal, manual disconnect, and a power limiting.
Drive And Blade Controls And Foot Pedal
The drive and blade controls (three levers) are located to the left
and right of the operator seat. The drive levers (left and right)
control the direction of rotation of the rear wheels. The blade
height lever controls the vertical position of the blade. The foot
pedal controls the speed of the hydraulic pump. The levers
only work when the foot pedal is partialy depressed and the
pump is running. Operation of the drive levers is as follows.
From the view of the seated operator:
Push the left and right levers forward together and hold them
in position then slowly depress the foot pedal to move the ma-
chine forward.
Pull the left and right levers back together and hold them in po-
sition then slowly depress the foot pedal to move the machine
in reverse. (The alarm sounds.)
Push only the left lever forward to turn the machine to the right.
Push only the right lever forward to turn the machine to the left.
To adjust the blade down, push and hold blade lever forward
and press the foot pedal to move the blade down. To adjust the
blade up, pull and hold the blade lever back and press the foot
pedal to move the blade up.
Auto Stop
When you release the drive or blade lever, the motor continues
to run (with foot control depressed) but the drive or blade mo-
tion automatically stops and will not start again until you push
or pull the levers again.
Emergency Brake
The Terminator® is supplied with an emergency brake to pre-
vent un intended movement when left unattended. The brake
handle is located to the left of the operator seat. Pull the handle
up to engage the brake, push the handle down to release the
brake. To increase tension on the brake you can rotate the end
of the handle in a clockwise direction. Rotate the end of the
handle counter clockwise to reduce the tension.
Power Limiter
The power limiter allows the top output speed to be set from
70% to 100%. This will allow you to conserve power durring
normal operation when top speed is not required. (Increasing
motor power will reduce the run time of the machine)

Page 12 Innovatech Products & Equipment Co.
Manual Disconnect And Lockout
The manual disconnect is located to the right side of the op-
erator seat. To enable operation of the Terminator® unlock the
manual disconnect lock and pull up. In case of emergency push
down to remove power from all electrical components. Always
push down this switch to OFF when the Terminator® is not in
use.
Electric Motor and Batteries
The electric motor and batteries are located under the top
cover. The electric motor provides the power to the hydraulic
pump to drive the Terminator®.
The electric motor requires little maintenance, inspect wire
connections and check for debris to maintain its efciency and
prolong its operating life.
Battery life can be ensured by proper periodic maintenance.
Ensure that battery water levels remain sufciently high to
cover the battery electrode plates. Distilled or de-ionized
water can be used to replace lost water. Avoid using tap or
well water as the minerals present can reduce the effectivenes
of the batteries and shorten battery life. Batteries should be
charged before placing the Terminator® into long term storage.
The stored battery should be charged montly when not in use
to prolong battery life. A maintenance charge cycle should
be performed every 5th charge to maintain optimum battery
performance.
Displays and Indicators
Battery Display And Hour Meter
The battery display shows pump use time, key power time and
battery life. (When the last box starts to blink, you have about
15 minutes before battery power is exhausted.)
Hydraulic Oil Over Temperature Indicator
Normal temperatures are below 120°F. Do not allow the hydrau-
lic uid to exceed 200°F because it may damage the hydraulic
system and in turn, damage the Terminator®. If the indicator
light is continually coming on, turn machine off and let it cool
for 45-60 minutes. If the light regularly turns on, call Innovatech
Service Department. If you regularly work in a hot climate you
may need a hydraulic cooler.
Hydraulic Filter Clog Indicator
The hydraulic oil lter is equiped with a clog indicator which will
illuminate when the hydraulic oil lter is clogged. (Note: The
indicator may also inadvertently come on in cases when the
hydraulic oil is very cold, the light will stop illuminating once the
hydraulic oils has warmed to normal operating temperature.)

Page 13
Terminator T-2100EI Manual
Blade Assembly
Blades are available in different congurations and thickness.
An assortment of blades is included in the purchase price of
the Terminator®. Extra blades are available upon request from
Innovatech Products & Equipment Co., Inc.
Installing a Blade
1.) Raise the blade assembly to maximum up position,
which is ve inches off the oor.
2.) Unwrap the pre-sharpened blades and select the blade
thickness and length you need for the job.
3.) Loosen the 7 holding bolts.
4.) Insert the sharpened blade.
5.) Tighten bolts rmly, starting from the center and working
out. Bolts should be snug but not over tightened.
Taking Up Floor Coverings
1.) Insert blade. (As explained above)
2.) Lower blade to oor. Lift caster wheel off the oor ¼
inch. Use previous procedures to drive forward.
3.) As the Terminator® is removing ooring material, it is
recommended to have another person at the side of the ma-
chine remove all debris.
Ballast
The Terminator® is equipped with weights in front (75 pounds
each) and rear (125 pounds each) to provide traction for tough
jobs. These weights can be removed to reduce traction for
certain jobs, and to transport the Terminator® by forklift or truck
or elevator. Wear gloves when handling these weights. Use
caution to not smash toes and ngers. Use OSHA approved
lifting technique.
Tricycle Or Caster Wheelbase And Tires
The tricycle wheelbase allows better turning ability. The wheel
bearings on the front caster roller require lubrication with grease
every 30 hours of machine operation. There are three ttings,
two on the wheel and one on the housing. When running over
debris such as carpet, the carpet yarn will get caught between
the wheel and the housing. Clean out wheel and housing regu-
larly.
The rear tires are solid rubber, tubeless, and require no mainte-
nance. Over time, they may wear out and need to be replaced.
Before each job, inspect the rear tires and lug bolts. Tighten the
lug bolts as needed to 70 foot-pounds torque. It is important to
keep the lug bolts tight.
Wheel hub should be tightened from 310 to 350 ft.-lbs. Inspect
and re-torque every 60 hours of operation. Lift machine off of
oor so no weight is on wheel when re-torquing pack nut.

Battery Safety
Receiving the Terminator®
After receiving the Terminator®, examine the covers and battery
catch tray for signs of damage. Attention should be given to
the crate and pallet of the Terminator® when it arrives for any
damage that may have happened during shipment. If you see
any dented or crushed housing parts contact Innovatech for
procedures to repair shipping damage. If you see wet areas, the
batteries may have been tipped during shipping.
Every cell should be inspected to be sure that the electrolyte is
above the battery plates.
Only trained or authorized personnel should change, repair or
charge batteries.
When used properly, a lead-acid motive power battery is a safe,
dependable source of electrical power. However, if proper care
and safety precautions are not exercised when handling a bat-
tery, it can be an extremely dangerous piece of equipment.
There are four hazardous elements in a lead-acid battery.
1. Sulfuric acid
2. Explosive gases
3. Electricity
4. Weight.
Hazardous Elements
Sulfuric acid:
The electrolyte in a lead-acid storage battery is a diluted solu-
tion of water and sulfuric acid. Although the acid content in the
solution is only about 37%, it is still a strong corrosive agent
and can burn skin and eyes as well as devour many types of
fabric. (See Wearing Protective Clothing.)
Specic Gravity Reading % Acid Content by Weight
1.280 37.40
1.290 38.55
1.325 42.50
Explosive Gases:
When a lead-acid battery is being charged, it produces a small
explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Make sure
that all vent caps are unclogged and securely attached so that
any gas is safely vented from the battery enclosure. Never
smoke, use an open ame or create an arc or sparks on or near
a battery without rst eliminating explosive gases from the cells
you are working on.
(See Setting Up Charging Area Section Below)
Electricity:
An electrical shock hazard exists for any person who comes in
contact with a battery over 50 volts, this is one of the reasons
that the Terminator 2000ei battery pack has been limited to 48
volts for maximum power potential as well as maximum safety.
In addition, metallic objects coming in contact with exposed
cell connectors will cause a short circuit resulting in the metallic
object heating up to a high temperature. Even shorts involving
a single cell can become hot enough to cause severe burns.
Any tools used on or around the Terminator 2000ei should be
covered with a plastic coating or heat shrink.
Weight:
The Terminator® 2100EI has a battery pack weighting up to
1000 pounds. It can cause serious injury if it is not handled
carefully during installation, removal or transport. Use proper
lifting equipment and techniques at all times.

Page 15
Terminator T-2100EI Manual
Lifting Batteries
Always use proper lifting equipment to reduce the risk of battery
damage, shorting and possible injury. An insulated lifting device
used with an overhead hoist is the safest way to move a battery.
Chain hoists used to handle batteries should be equipped with
a non-metallic container or bucket to prevent the chains from
dangling and possibly causing a short by coming in contact
with exposed cell connectors on the battery top.
Never lift batteries by the inter-cell connecting cables. Con-
nectors on these cables are designed for maximum current
ow and not strength. The connectors will suddenly come
apart while the battery is in midair. Connect lifting device to
negative terminal only if there is not a lifting strap in place.
Lifting by both terminals could cause the negative and positive
terminals to be shorted together.
Wearing Protective Clothing
When working on or near batteries, always wear proper protec-
tive clothes including a face shield, safety glasses, long sleeved
shirt, and acid-resistant gloves. Do not wear any metal jewelry
including rings, as they can short circuit a battery and become
extremely hot if it accidentally contacts exposed inter-cell con-
nectors.
Setting Up A Charging Area
All owners of the Terminator® 2100EI need to designate a charg-
ing area, to charge the battery pack at the end of a workday or
while storing the Terminator®.
This area should have all the proper battery handling equipment
including the spill kit supplied with the Terminator® 2100EI.
The area needs to be well ventilated even when the battery is
only being trickle charged.
Ventilation is considered satisfactory if the hydrogen concen-
tration does not exceed 1.5% - 2% in any one location. Con-
centrations of more than 4% are explosive and dangerous.
A prominent NO SMOKING sign should be posted as a remind-
er.
Factors for determining proper ventilation include the number
of Terminator® 2100EI machines or other battery operated ma-
chinery such as forklifts that are stored in the location, as well
as the size, height and air-tightness of the storage location. A
number of instruments, such as combustible gas indicators and
ammable vapor indicators, are available for continuous and
automatic analysis of hydrogen content in the air. A oor stand-
ing fan or box fan will help signicantly to disperse off gassing.
A source of running water nearby is desirable other then the
distilled water used to top up battery cells. A water hose is rec-
ommended at the charging and lling station.
The oor in the battery charging and lling area should have an
acid resistant coating and able to be washed down with clean
water after a spill. The spill should be neutralized with Baking
Soda or Soda Ash before it is cleaned up. While Soda Ash is
relatively safe to handle, being very similar to Bicarbonate of
Soda, both of these chemicals will react with sulfuric acid to
produce Carbon Dioxide, which is a gas that is heavier then air
and tends to collect in low places if not ventilated properly.
Carbon Dioxide is a non-toxic gas normally present in the air,
which can reduce the oxygen content of the air from the normal
21% by dilution or displacement. Air containing 16% or less
oxygen may cause injury or even death to a person breathing
in such an environment. While good ventilation will control the
carbon dioxide hazard in open spaces, extra special care must
be taken when neutralizing signicant quantities of sulfuric acid
in closed areas with the above type of chemical.
Lime, caustic soda and ammonia or ammonium hydroxide do
not release carbon dioxide when neutralizing sulfuric acid but

are very strong chemicals themselves and should ONLY be
used by qualied, chemically trained individuals.
Connecting/Disconnecting Charger
Always turn the charger off at the charging unit before con-
necting or disconnecting the battery charger leads. The Battery
Connector below the seat is shipped in a disconnected state;
this connector will have to be plugged in order to operate the
Terminator® 2100EI.
It is also good practice to leave this main power connector un-
plugged during storage.
Live leads can cause arcing and sparks which could cause an
explosion if battery gases are present, please check that the
main contactor/disconnector is not in the on condition when
you connect or disconnect the battery terminal plug. In addi-
tion, the battery connector terminals will became pitted over
time resulting in poor connections and increased heat genera-
tion in the battery leads and connectors.
Basic Charging Facts
• Proper charging is essential for maximum battery life.
• In general, the proper charging rate is any rate that does not
produce a battery temperature higher than 115F or 46C, and
or does not produce excessive gassing.
* The Terminator® 2100EI is supplied with a CEN 48V 50 Amp
charging unit, which has been sized to give optimum charging
time without causing excessive heating or off gassing.
* Do not use a 12v battery charger on the Terminator® 2100EI
battery pack this will cause damage to the charger as well as
the battery pack.
* When a discharged battery is initially placed on charge, it will
draw a current equal to or close to the chargers maximum out-
put. As the battery voltage rises back to its rated voltage the
chargers output will adjust down automatically to assure a safe,
efcient charging rate during all stages of the charge
* The CEN Charger is designed to start and stop so as not to
under or over charge the battery pack. The “smart” charger has
a computerized control unit, which can determine when the
battery is fully charged and then automatically end the charge
cycle.
There are two important types of charge that are used for lead-
acid deep-cycle batteries, Standard Re-charge and an Equal-
izing Charge.
Standard Re-charge: After a battery has undergone a normal full
shift and has been fully or partially discharged, it must undergo
a standard charge. Normally a standard recharge is based on
an 8-hour charging cycle.
Equalizing Charge: Due to a slight difference in the construction
of each battery cell, some cells take less charge then others.
An occasional equalizing charge will correct these cell-to-cell
imbalances and bring all the cells to the same capacity.
An equalizing charge is simply a 3-hour continuation after the
standard re-charge at the chargers nish rate of 12 amps. (Mini-
mum 3 amps per 100ah)
The best way to determine if an equalizing charge is necessary
is to check the specic gravity of the battery cells. If there is
more then a 0.020 specic unit variation between any two cells,
the battery should be equalized.
The Batteries need to be charged at least 8 hours before any
use. Preferably 12-15 hours before use will allow the battery
chemistry to equalize properly before a drain is again applied
to the battery
A good rule of thumb is to equalize once every 5 re-charges.
The Charging Process
During the charging process, the sulfate (from the sulfuric acid)

Page 17
Terminator T-2100EI Manual
in the battery lead plates, which is accumulated during the dis-
charge and use process, is driven back into the electrolyte. This
increases the specic gravity and brings the on-charge volt-
ages up to 2.50-2.75V per cell depending on the battery age.
Specic Gravity
Specic gravity measurements are based on a cell temperature
of 77°F (25°C) and lower.
In order to obtain an accurate specic gravity measurement,
the hydrometer reading must be adjusted based on the tem-
perature of the electrolyte. (Battery Fluid)
Subtract 4 points of specic gravity (.004) for each 10 degrees
under 77°F.
Care should at least be used to determine that each cell is close
in specic gravity to each other, as an equalizing charge (See
below) could be needed or a cell maybe failing.
The hydrometer must be rinsed out with clean water after each
use or else it will build up a layer of dried electrolyte and give
false readings.
Temporary Storage Of Battery Pack
When the battery pack is fully charged and the electrolyte is at
the proper level, the Terminator® 2100EI can be stored for up
to a year. It should be stored in a cool dry, well -ventilated area
away from direct sunlight. If a battery pack needs to be stored
for several months or longer, a refreshing charge should be per-
formed prior to its stored as well as at any time the specic
gravity falls below 1.240. If the average storage temperature
is below 68°F (20°C), check the specic gravity at least once
every two months. If the average temperature is above 68°F
(20°C) check it every month

Check Battery Electrolyte Weekly
Every cell should be inspected to be sure that the electrolyte
level is above the moss guard (top of lead plates). If the electro-
lyte is slightly below the moss guard in any cell, transferring a
small amount of electrolyte from another cell that has a higher
level with a syringe or hydrometer can raise it.
If a large amount of electrolyte is needed to raise the level, rst
check the catchments tray for any battery electrolyte. If some is
found due to a leaking cell call a trained battery technician from
an authorized repair facility. Call your Innovatech representative
if no repair facility is available. Do not attempt to charge or use
the Terminator® 2100EI while there is a leak in the battery pack.
If no leak is found simply add a little Distilled Water to the cell,
being careful not to overfull the cell as it will spill out when the
Terminator is raised on it’s scrapper blade and moving. A little
water is lost each time the battery pack is charged, water is
given off as hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2). This is the source of
the explosive gasses that are released during charging.
Each time a battery is charged and then discharged this is called
a cycle. An average battery will last from 1,500 to 1,800 cycles,
or 5 to 6 years. Actual battery life will depend on type of battery,
the severity of use, and how well the battery was maintained
while in service.
To obtain maximum service life from your battery pack, care
should be taken to not operate the battery pack over 115° F
(46°C) as well as not to run the battery pack below 80% of
nominal voltage. (The controller onboard the Terminator® 2100E

Page 18 Innovatech Products & Equipment Co.
will shut the power down if this limit is reached). Frequent over-
charging or equalizing will shorten the battery life.
First Aid
First Aid for Acid Splashes
Eyes: Flush immediately with gently running water for at least
15 minutes, then see a doctor as quickly as possible. For con-
tact lens wearers, remove the lens before the eyes are ushed.
A buffering or neutralizing agent should not be used in the eyes
without the approval of medical or safety personnel.
Skin: Wash affected areas under running water and apply a
chemical burn treatment.
Severe burns require immediate medical attention.
Clothing: If large areas of clothing have been splashed or
soaked, the clothing must be removed and the acid must be
neutralized with a baking soda or soda ash solution, and then
rinsed under running water. If the clothing is rinsed quickly
enough, the chances of damage to the material are lessened.
Acid-resistant boots should always be checked before wearing,
for any acid puddles that may have formed inside the boot.
Eye Wash And Emergency Shower Facilities
Emergency eyewash and acid neutralization facilities should be
located in the immediate work area for easy access. The three
most popular types of eyewash and acid neutralizing equip-
ment are the chemical burn stations, deluge shower and eye
wash fountains.
1. A chemical burn station is the most commonly used type
in small battery charging and repair areas. The station consists
of a wall mounted plastic squeeze bottle that contains a buffer-
ing solution for treating acid burns on skin, eyes and clothing.
This inexpensive equipment is practical for personnel protec-
tion while working on the Terminator® 2100EI battery pack. The
spill kit and a source of running water is needed for large spills
on the oor.
2. A Deluge Shower should be used where high specic
gravity acid (above 1.400) is handled. The Terminator® 2100EI
does not use this high of a specic gravity concentration. This
type of wash station is only really needed at a battery repair
center.
An eye wash fountain is permanently hooked up to a water sup-
ply and is usually wall mounted. This is recommended equip-
ment if possible.
