Terminator T-2100EI Manual
General Operating Instructions for the Terminator®
• The Terminator® is designed to remove carpet, tile and glue
residue from oors.
• When removing product, position removed product so it
rolls to the side of the machine or have someone on the
side of the machine remove the product. NEVER WALK IN
FRONT OF OR BEHIND THE TERMINATOR® WHILE IT IS
RUNNING.
• Sharpen blades or dice material into narrower widths if
machine slows down or seems to be struggling.
• Do not use the Terminator® within one foot of walls or sta-
tionary objects. Damage to objects may occur if the Termi-
nator® strikes them.
• Use safe, OSHA approved tools and methods for sharpen-
ing blades.
• Make sure the Terminator® has a charged re extinguisher,
working back up beacon and strobe light before operating.
Safety Features
The Terminator® is equipped with several features to help en-
sure your safety and the safety of workers around you.
Warning Light and Back-Up Alarm
An amber light is installed on the top rear section of the hood.
When the Terminator’s® ignition is in the ON position, the
warning light will ash. When the drive control is set in RE-
VERSE, the back-up alarm sounds to warn people nearby that
the machine is backing up.
Fire Extinguisher
A re extinguisher with gauge is installed on the hood behind
the operator’s seat, within the operator’s reach. As a safety
measure, regularly inspect the gauge and recharge the re
extinguisher as needed to maintain full capacity. Always re-
charge the extinguisher after each use.
Autostop
The Terminator® has two drive levers located to the right and
left of the operator seat and a blade height lever to the left
of the operator seat. The drive levers control the forward,
reverse, left, and right directions of the machine; the blade
height lever raises and lowers the blade. You must push
(forward) or pull (reverse) and hold the levers in position to
drive the machine or move the blade in the direction desired.
When you release a lever, the Terminator® or blade automati-
cally STOPS and will not move again until you push/pull and
hold the levers again. However, these levers are not meant as
brakes. Block wheels with a oor block when stopping on a
ramp and use the emergency brake. Without the emergency
brake the machine may roll forward or backwards on any slop-
ing surface.
Emergency Battery Disconnect
To the right side of the operator seat is a red disconnect
switch with a key. This disconnect wil remove power from the
motor and other electronic components. Warning! Removing
power from the Terminator® while on a hill or ramp can lead to
a dangerous rollaway situation. Always engage the parking
brake before disconnecting power.
Safety Instructions
The Terminator® is designed for safe operation by trained, des-
ignated personnel. To help ensure your safety as a designated
operator, read these safety instructions before you operate the
equipment. Regardless of your experience with machinery,
the Terminator® has unique features and systems which you
need to know about and understand before you operate or
service the machine.
