SECTION I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Hurricane is operated by a propane-powered engine, driving a tandem hydrostatic
pump system, creating a (skid-steer) zero turn radius drive train.
Surface covering and coatings are removed by lowering a weighted blade onto the
surface and moving forward under a high torque drive system. The surface coating is
removed by a flexible sharpened blade conforming to the floor surface, with the weight
of the machine holding the blade firmly to the floor. The weight does not allow the blade
to lift or ride over well-adhered surface coating material, thus lifting the off the floor
coating.
After layers of carpet or laminates are removed the machine can be connected to a
grinder or slicer attachment to either clean up adhesives or remove stubborn coatings.

SECTION III
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the Hurricane please read the entire operation and safety manual with
complete understanding of the safety section. If you have any questions on safety and
precautions please call 1-800.522.2606.
There are several advantages to an effective safety program which include: lower
operating costs, lower workman compensations, less work time lost, high employee
morale, and less problems. No one can work safely without knowing what precautions to
take to insure personal safety. Operators must know what equipment to wear, which job
practices are safe and which are not, and must be aware of what hazards are possible in
the work area. A regular schedule of Preventive Maintenance on your equipment is the
best protection against unpleasant surprises that slow production and sometimes result in
injuries. Here are a few suggested safety tips.
1. The first step before any maintenance or inspection takes place should be to stop
the engine and disconnect the battery terminals.
2. Wear proper eye and ear protection and heavy duty work gloves at all times.
3. Practice good Preventive Maintenance.
4. Practice good housekeeping.
5. Allow the Hurricane to come to a complete stop, turn off engine, and chock rear
wheels before performing any maintenance procedures.
6. Replace worn parts when necessary.
7. Do not reach into blade or control arm areas while machine is in operation.
8. Do not attempt to open any access door until the machine has come to a complete
stop and the engine and propane is turned off.
9. Be sure all electrical inspections or changes are done by a qualified electrician.
10. Loose surface coating can cause dangerous footing. Always be alert and careful.
11. After replacing parts be sure all tools used are removed from the machine. Be
sure all bolts and nuts are tightened. The loose connection of a rotating part could
cause the part to fly off with explosive force, causing serious damage to the
equipment and possible injury to the operator.
12. Always lower blade to the ground when the machine is unoccupied by the
operator. Serious bodily injury may result if arms are not in the lowered position
when not occupied.
13. Never allow unauthorized personnel or the general public into the work area.
14. The work area should be barricaded off to adequately keep all untrained persons
out of the work site. If an unauthorized person enters the work area, stop the
machine immediately and do not restart the machinery until they have left the
work area.

7
15. Always allow a 200-foot buffer safety zone around all surface preparation activity.
16. Always run the Hurricane in a well-ventilated area, with an approved OSHA air-
monitoring system in place at all times.
17. Read and obey all safety labels placed on the machinery at all times. If safety
labels have been destroyed or removed call 1-800.522.2606 for free replacement
prior to operating the machinery.
18. The Hurricane is not a toy. All operators must be over 18 years of age and must
have read and reviewed the safety and procedures manual before operating the
machinery.
19. The Hurricane is designed for surface preparation ONLY. It is not intended for
towing, pushing or any other procedure not described in this manual.
20. Propane systems should be checked and documented twice yearly by a certified
propane professional for leaks or damaged parts. If a propane leak is detected
leave the machine immediately and seek assistance from propane professional. Do
not use or restart machinery until it is determined safe.
21. Horseplay and or high speed cornering is not allowed with this machine and could
cause rollover resulting in injury or death.
22. No smoking or open flame is allowed while machinery is running or within 50
feet of the machine.
23. Operator must be sober and not under the influence of drugs or medication and
under full control of all bodily senses while operating this or any machinery.
24. When transporting the Hurricane, it is recommended to use a low bed tilt trailer.
This procedure insures the wheels do not leave a stable surface.

SECTION V
START-UP AND BREAK-IN
The Hurricane has been safety tested and run at our factory prior to shipping. All fluid
levels have been topped off; however, no propane has been added to the tanks for safety
shipment purposes. Before running the Hurricane please check the following items that
may have shifted or changed during shipping.
1. Raise engine covers and check oil level.
2. Check air cleaner filter element for snug fit.
3. All battery cable connections are snug.
4. Inspect for major hydraulic oil leaks. Snug hydraulic fittings using two wrenches.
Use caution not to over tighten.
5. Fill propane tank.
6. Mount propane bottle in brackets, be sure bracket alignment pin corresponds with
alignment slot on bottle.
7. Attach propane hose to liquid side of bottle by attaching to the handle valve.
Snug fit the female connector attached to hose and slowly turn valve on. You
should hear gas briefly enter the propane hose. Immediately check for propane
leaks with soapy water solution. If leak persists after retightening the knurled
female connector: STOP, turn off the bottle at valve and seek assistance from
certified propane professional. Serious damage and or an explosion could occur.
8. Check lug bolts for tightness, torque 85-100 lbs.
9. Return all engine guards to proper position.
10. You are now ready to start the engine.
11. Crank the engine by turning the key in the on position. The engine will crank for
3 to 5 seconds while the propane enter the carburetor. If the engine does not start,
turn the key off, wait 1 minute and try again. If again unsuccessful, check
propane valve to be sure it is open. If still unsuccessful turn off propane valve
and seek assistance or call 1-800.522.2606.
12. Once the engine is warming and running, and the operator is safely in the seat, the
machine can be driven.
Please turn to Section VI for Machinery Operation.
New Machine Break-In
Since the Hurricane is a very low maintenance and user-friendly machine, the only break-
in is for the Kohler engine. Please refer to the owners manual, included is the manual
and the maintenance schedule found inside the air cleaner plastic cover supplied
by Kohler.

SECTION VI
MACHINERY OPERATION
Before reading the machinery operation section, new operators should familiarize
themselves with the 3 diagrams depicting the TOP, LEFT, and RIGHT views of machine.
These drawings show the activation of all moving parts of the Hurricane.
1. To move the machine: Using the right hand, slowly move the shifter lever in the
desired direction. Forward and left moves the machine to the left, backward and
right reverses the machine to the right. It is just that simple to drive. Speed is
controlled by amount of movement on the joy stick and also by moving travel
speed lever.
2. The left joystick lever is used to position the blade to the surface. Moving the
lever forward and backward moves the blade up and down. Left and right
movement changes the blade pitch.
3. Throttle control is on the left side of the seat, taking the unit from idle to 3400
RPM. The most optimum speed is 2600 to 3200 RPM. To change RPM of engine
turn throttle knob clockwise to lower RPM and counterclockwise to raise RPM.
4. A cooling fan will run behind the seat when engine is running to keep hydraulic
oil cool.
5. Hydraulic reservoir is accessed by removing right cowling and removing fill cap.
6. To change scraping blades: Stop engine. Loosen the set bolt at the rear of the
Blade holder block using a ¾” open-end wrench. Slide the dull blade out and
insert a new blade up against the shim stop. Retighten the set bolt and raise the
control arms to remove wooden block. Lower control arms and resume scraping.
The large 1 1’8” blade holder bolt should not need to be more that hand tight.
With a little practice you should be able to change blades in 15 seconds. Dull
blades can be resharpened and reused many times.
See drawing of blade change procedure
7. Operators should lower the blade by pressing the left hand lever forward each
time they get off the machine. This safety practice eliminates possible bodily
injury from lowering the blade by unauthorized operators.
8. The transport caster should not be in contact with the floor while scraping. It will
lift off the floor when blade is lowered. Caster contact with the floor while
scraping will negatively affect scraper productivity and steering.
9. Do not transport machine with front of machine off the surface of floor higher
than 1/2" or irreparable damage to lift cylinder will result.
See drawing of correct scraping procedures.
