Shingle Hog TSH-001 Instructions / Assembly
Contents
1. an 2 layers 9 wide tooth bar Note If you find that the Shingle Hog is slower in pulling out the nails it maybe because The Shingle Hog is pulling several nails at one time from multiple layers By reducing the length of the tooth bar you can improve your speed2. e To change the tooth bar o Disconnect the unit from the air compressor o Raise the tooth bar to the upper position o Remove the two 3 8 16 x 3 4 short neck carriage bolts nuts and lock washers o Remove the existing tooth bar and install the new tooth bar with the attaching hardware turned finger tight o Lower the tooth bar until it makes contact with the roof or flat surface and adjust the tooth bar so it is making contact across the full width of the bar with the roof or flat surface Insert your wrench behind the tooth bar and tighten the hardware securely e Reconnect the hose between the compressor and The Shingle Hog Handle Positioning e The handle has multiple angle location options Adjust the handle to the height which best fits your stature o To assemble rotate the handle from the shipping position to the desire height o Insert the two 5 16 hex head cap screws with lock washers included in the bag into the holes location A and tighten securely all four 5 16 hex head cap screws locations A amp B MIDDLE POSITION How to Stand and Operate the Shingle Hog e Stand upright and position The Shingle Hog directly in front of you e Use your right index finger to activate the trigger e Letthe handle rest against your thighs as you move down the roof or to the side Trigger Activation Variable stroke When and How e Inthe rest or idle position air is applied to the cylinder forcing the toot
3. em requirements the average pressure range at The Shingle Hog will be 85 to 100 psi For hose lengths greater then 100 use diameter hose or if you are using shorter length of hoses with multiple quick disconnect couplings use a diameter hose in place of the 3 8 diameter hose The larger diameter lines provide for a lower pressure drop through the hose and quick disconnect fittings and result in increased pressure and airflow to the Shingle Hog Note 1 4 diameter hoses and or compressors systems less than 2 HP may result in lower performance cycle time of the tooth bar will be reduced and under difficult nail pull out conditions the tooth bar may not raise immediately until adequate pressure and flow builds up in The Shingle Hog air cylinder e Air Compressor O O Locate the air compressor at the job site on a flat secure area clear of falling debris Adjust the operating pressure control on the compressor to 100 110 psi e Tooth bar selection amp installation O The variety of roofing nails staples types of shingles the number of layers of shingles being removed roof sheeting materials and nailing patterns on existing roofs effects performance However start with attaching the widest tooth bar that you have and if there is difficulty move to a smaller tooth bar IN GENERAL For a single layer tear off use the 15 wide tooth bar For a 2 layer tear off use the 15 or 9 wide tooth bar For more th

5. h bar down e When the trigger is activated and held the tooth bar will rise and remain in the upper position e Pulling and releasing the trigger quickly feathering will allow you to raise the tooth bar partially shorter stroke and return it to its original position This feathering feature causes the tooth bar to move up and down more quickly resulting in the removal of more shingles in the same time period This feature is especially effective with staples and shorter nails Starting a Roof Tear off Based on our experience the most effective method is to Face the peak Slide the teeth under the tabs of the shingles about three rows down from peak Break the roofing free up to and including the cap extending across the entire peak Repeat the same from the other side of roof Start down the roof beginning from where the shingles and cap are already removed by sliding the teeth of tool under the shingles Every time the teeth are under shingles pull the trigger Move down the roof several feet and then return to the top and shift to the right or left and repeat the process o Note It is not necessary to jamb or push hard under the shingles The Shingle Hog will do the work for you o Feathering the trigger can often help speed up the shingle removing process As shingles start to come loose slide the tool under more of the attached shingles and pull the trigger As the shingles start to gather in front of the machine pul

7. ted into the female fitting and blow into it and compare the ease of blowing air through it The one in which you can blow through easiest will permit a larger flow of air high flow rate to The Shingle Hog allowing it to respond faster The compressor being unable to maintain a 100 psi operating pressure The compressor does not have adequate capacity SCFM change to a large capacity compressor The compressor is not performing to the expected performance capacity check the compressor system Multiple devices connected to the compressor simultaneously requiring the air Insert a pressure gauge by The Shingle Hog to confirm you have the required pressure as it is cycled repeatedly If air pressure is not greater than 85 psi pressure at The Shingle Hog as it is cycled remove other devices Recheck air pressure Multiple hoses connected together between the compressor and The Shingle Hog The airflow resistances pressure drop in the hose and coupling may not allow for adequate flow Insert a pressure gauge by The Shingle Hog to confirm you have recommended pressure as it is cycled repeatedly Possible solutions are to eliminate as many quick disconnect couplings as possible by using one continuous hose replace the quick disconnects with higher flow rate devices replace the hose with a shorter and or larger diameter hose or any combination If an issue persists contact TBD at the service number below TBD 1424 Dew
