Information
The BULL® sets new standards for floor stripper performance.
The extra strong design enables floor coverings to be peeled off and removed on dry
floors. Floor coverings are such as carpets, tiles, parquet, vinyl coverings, coatings, paint
residues or similar. Only tools offered by CONTEC® (blades, chisels) may be used. The
BULL® can only be used outside of closed rooms in dry weather.
Operational function
The BULL® floor stripper removes glued floor coverings with the help of a vibrating
blade. The blade is moved by an electric motor.
The floor stripper is propelled forwards by a second gear motor.
The blade starts up automatically when the stripper is switched on and can be stopped
quickly with the emergency stop switch.
The blade drive starts as soon as the machine is switched on via the green switch and can
easily be switched off by depressing the red emergency switch (see 2.5 Handle Nr 48) .
The drive unit motor starts by pressing the dead man switch (No.44) on the handle bar and
then initially runs in freewheel mode.
If the handle bar is pushed forward the drive unit starts to work and the machine starts to
move. The drive can be locked in the moving position by stepping on the foot lever at the
bottom of the handle bar.
After a power failure, the BULL® floor stripper must be switched on again. The BULL® can
be adapted to different floor conditions thanks to the three positioning options for the inner
weights. A lot of pressure on the drive wheels allows more weight on the tools for more ef-
fective covering removal.
• Self propulsion Drive Unit, manual or automatic.
• Directly driven RAM action mechanism (maintenance-free).
• Height-adjustable handle.
• Crane lifting points.
• Protective cover.
• Ergonomic control handle including all controls and dead man's switch.
• Main weight foldable in 3 stages.
Preparation (carpet, coverings)
It is sufficient to cut the covering into strips approx. 35 cm wide. Wider strips do not save
time. In order to be able to start scraping, a strip is first cut across the designated area.
Then lift the floor covering slightly in order to get the blade underneath it.
We recommend that you cut the first strip at right angles to the main working direction.
By so doing, access to the adjacent strips is made easier.
Cut the strips smaller if the floor covering is bonded very securely, e.g. with an epoxy ad-
hesive. The blades are sharpened by the floor pavement. Therefore the blade only has to
be changed if it is twisted, rounded or becomes worn.
The driving wheels are subject to wear. They have to be changed if necessary.
