SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Improper use of this machine can injure
people and damage the equipment. People
using or servicing this machine must read
and follow the instructions in this manual.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
MANUAL AND MACHINE LABELING DO NOT
COVER EVERY POSSIBLE DANGER. IT IS IMPOS-
SIBLE FOR TAYLOR TOOLS TO KNOW OF ALL
POSSIBLE DANGERS IN OPERATING AND SERVIC-
ING THE BRONCO STRIPPER.
THE PURCHASER MUST GIVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH OPERATING,
ASSISTING IN THE WORK AREA, AND MAINTAINING
THIS MACHINE.
Training:
Read and understand this manual before
operating the machine.
Learn how to use the controls for steering,
moving and stopping in an open area
unobstructed by people and objects.
Before operating the machine and removing
flooring learn and understand all machine
labeling for DANGER, WARNING, CAU-
TION, and OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS.
NEVER PERMIT CHILDREN TO OPERATE OR BE IN
THE IMMEDIATE AREA WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN
OPERATION. DO NOT ALLOW ADULTS TO OPER-
ATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT PROPER INSTRUC-
TION.
Safe operation of this equipment requires
your complete and unimpaired attention at
all times. Do not operate unit after or during
the consumption of drugs or alcohol.
Keep all people and animals away from the
operating area.
Transportation:
When hauling the machine, always use a ramp
that is rated for the weight of the machine. Never
secure the machine by the control levers, or like
items that could be damaged. Secure the ma-
chine by main body with tie downs that are rated
for the weight of the machine.
Preperation:
Inspect the job site before floor removal. Identify
low spots, uneven surfaces, expansion joint
locations, obstacles in the floor and hazardous
conditions.
Before starting the machine check oil level
and fill if necessary, check air filters and
clean/replace as needed.
Electric Machines:
When operating the machine at the job site have
a qualified electrician inspect the power source
for proper rating of the overload breaker. If a
power source has to be brought from a sub-panel
always have a qualified electrician preform the
work. A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
should be used. The proper location for the GFI
is at the source of the power, i.e. plug the GFI
into the power source and then plug the
machine’s extension cord into the GFI.
Before connecting the machine to the GFI
protected electrical supply, inspect the cord and
the cord connections for damage, and replace
and or repair any damaged electrical components
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
Propane Machines
Even though there is an catalytic exhaust scrub-
ber on the machine, the engine will produce
carbon monoxide. To ensure that no one is over
exposed to the exhaust gases you must provide
adequate ventilation. A carbon monoxide moni-
tor is supplied by Taylor Tools and should be
used during operation to ensure proper
ventalation.

Maintenance:
Keep the machine in good condition. Maintain
it as directed in this manual and the
motor manual for propane machines. Check
fasteners and hydraulic hose connections
at the end of each day of operation. Check
the oil level and fill if necessary. Tighten
and repair as necessary. Before doing any
maintenance, turn machine off and disconnect
from power supply.
