Operator Handle Grips
Use the operator handle grips to operate and move
the machine. The switch levers on the underside of
the handle grips, turn the motor on and off. Locate the
handle grips in a comfortable operating position and
lock the handle release lever in place. While operating
the machine, slightly raising or lowering the operators
handle will help the operator control the machine.
Switch Levers
The switch levers activate the switch module to turn the
motor on and off. The switch module will not activate
unless the switch lever safety lock is pressed first. To
operate the machine, only one switch lever has to be
engaged. This allows the operator to alternate hands
while using the machine. To stop the motor from turning,
release the switch levers.
Switch Lever Safety Lock
The switch lever safety lock is to prevent someone
from accidentally turning the machine on. To turn the
machine on, always make sure the handle is lowered in
the operators position and the handle release lever is
locked. Push and hold the switch lever safety lock with
one hand, while engaging one of the switch levers. Once
the machine has started, the switch lever safety lock can
be released.
Motor Speed Switch
This is a two position switch that is used to select the
motor speed. When the switch is in the “I” position the
driver will turn at 175 rpm. The driver will turn at 300 rpm
when the switch is in the “II” position. The motor speed
can be changed while the motor is turning.
Water Tank / Fill Cap
The water tank can be filled with clean water. This
tank is for water only. DO NOT place any flammable,
corrosive, and/or toxic liquids and powders in the water
tank. Remove the fill cap to add water to the tank and
replace the cap to prevent splashing of water on the
electrical components during use. Always drain any
remaining water from the tank before storage.
Handle Release Lever
This handle is used to release or lock the operators
handle. Pulling up on the lever will allow the handle to
move freely. Pushing down on the lever, horizontally,
will lock the handle in place. The handle should always
be locked while in use, as well as during transport or
storage.
Cord Hook
To prevent the cord from being damaged while not is
use, wrap the cord around the cord hook and the top of
the operators handle.
Water Release Handle
Pulling up on this handle will open the valve inside the
tank and allow water to flow from the water tank to
the driver. Water will only flow from the tank while the
handle is raised. To stop the flow of water from the tank,
release the handle. The amount of flow can be varied by
how far the handle is raised.
To drain the water tank, place the machine over a drain.
Remove the fill cap and use the water release handle to
drain the tank. Replace fill cap when finished.
GFCI
The GFCI is a safety device to protect from electrical
shock. The GFCI monitors the current flowing through
the circuit. If the flowing current differs by a small
amount from the returning current, the GFCI interrupts
the power. When the GFCI shuts down the power going
to the machine, check the machine and power cord for
any faults or issues. Press the reset button to continue
working. If the GFCI repeatedly shuts off the machine,
have the machine serviced.
To test the GFCI, push the test button and if the
machine has no power, the device is working properly.
If the machine still operates, stop using the machine
immediately and have it serviced. After verifying the
GFCI is functioning properly, push the reset button and
continue working.
Dust Port
The dust port allows you to connect a vacuum to the
machine (not included). Remove the top section of the
dust cap, leaving the bottom lanyard attached to the
dust port. The size of the dust port is a 1-1/2” (38mm).
Use the strap on the side of the solution tank to support
a vacuum hose and keep it off of the floor.
Power Cord
Use only the supplied power cord with this machine. The
power cord is sized to be used with this machine. To
attach the power cord to the machine, insert plug on the
back of handle into the female receptacle of the power
cord. Properly align the plug pins with the holes of the
receptacle, push together and twist to lock the cords in
place.
