Operations

Adjusting the Machine

Unclip waist and chest straps. Loosen shoulder 
straps and hip belt.

Put on unit by placing arms through shoulder straps 
and secure and tighten the hip belt.

NOTE: For the most comfort, adjust unit so that the 
hip belt covers the front hipbones and the bowed-
out portion of the back padding rests on the small of 
the back.

Tighten the shoulder straps to the point where the 
unit's weight just starts to pull down on the shoulders.  
Ideally most of the unit's weight will remain on the 
waist.

Adjust the chest strap position to be high on the 
chest and tighten till comfortable.

Cleaning Gum

Once the machine has heated up, place the brush on 
the piece of flattened gum and wait 5-10 seconds.

Agitate the flattened gum with the brush using 
circular motions until you see gum disintegrate.  Do 
not scrub or apply pressure.  The weight of the lance 
with agitation is all that is required.

Remove the brush from the gum and use a broom to 
sweep across the area.  Determine if all the gum has 
been removed or if more cleaning is required.

If further cleaning is required, repeat the cleaning 
steps until gum is completely removed.

Always complete a test patch on surfaces to make 
sure no damage occurs to the flooring or surface.
