EDCO TLR7 Traffic Line Remover

Advantages & Performance Highlights

• Precise, Damage-Free Line Removal: Specifically designed to remove traffic lines without gouging or severely profiling the pavement—perfect for resurfacing, remarking, or refinishing public areas.

• Portable and Operator-Friendly: Single-operator design and balanced maneuverability allow use in tight or congested areas where larger equipment cannot access.

• Consistency and Safety: Feathered edge removal reduces trip hazards after line removal, improving road and walk-over safety before repainting.

• Dust-Free Option: With standard vacuum port, connect a commercial dust extractor for silica compliance and cleaner site environments.

Best Practice Applications

• City Street and Crosswalk Re-marking: Rapid clean-up for school zones, downtown, and intersections.

• Parking Lot Maintenance: Restore, refresh, or realign line striping—removes both old paint and thermoplastic efficiently.

• Runways, Taxiways, and Bike Lanes: Remove epoxy or tape markings while preserving the grade and slip-resistance of the surface.

• Temporary Event Prep: Erase temporary lines for festivals, traffic reroutes, and construction detours with quick feathered blending for minimal disruption.

Maintenance & Operator Tips

• Before Each Use: Inspect cutters for wear, check air filter, engine oil, belt tension, and ensure guards and shields are securely attached.

• After Each Use: Clean chassis, blade guard, and vacuum port. Clear any dust or paint residue from moving parts and wheels. Remove unused gasoline if storing for extended periods.

• Cutter Replacement: Use Tilt-Top Quick Chassis to access all cutters safely. Always disconnect spark plug before service, and double-check pressure control knob and frame security before restarting.

• Belt & Engine Maintenance: Regularly inspect and retension belts; follow manufacturer’s interval for oil changes, air filters, and spark plug replacements.

• Grease Bearings: Apply recommended lubricant to head and wheel bearings every 40–50 hours, and keep linkage pivot points clean and oiled.

• Storage: Store dry, clean, and covered to avoid corrosion of chassis, bearings, or cutters.

Safety Best Practices

• Always operate outdoors or in exhaust-ventilated spaces to avoid carbon monoxide hazards.

• Wear approved PPE: goggles, mask, gloves, steel-toed boots, and hearing protection.

• Ensure machine is fully stopped and parking brake engaged before maintenance or adjustments.

• Secure worksite to prevent pedestrian or traffic entry during operations.

• Confirm all guards are in place, depth is set above work surface before starting, and vacuum is connected (for dust control in sensitive areas).
