How the Machine Works
This machine is a propane burnisher that has a pad
driver that is belt driven directly from the engine crank
shaft.
Pre-Operation Checklist
l
Check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. Refer
to Maintenance .
l
Inspect the engine dust filter and clean off any debris
or dust buildup. Refer to Maintenance .
l
Inspect the burnishing pad and replace, if necessary.
Refer to Maintenance .
l
Inspect the pad holder for cracks or damage!
Replace if necessary. Refer to Maintenance .
WARNING! A DAMAGED PAD HOLDER ROTATING
AT HIGH SPEEDS MAY BE AN EXTREME HAZARD
IF IT SHOULD DISINTEGRATE.
l
Inspect air filter. Clean or replace if necessary. A
dirty air filter could lead to elevated levels of carbon
monoxide. Refer to Maintenance .
l
Inspect the drive belt. Replace if necessary. Refer
to Maintenance .
l
Check the machine for leaks or loose fasteners.
LP Fuel Cylinder
This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder,
which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel
cylinder meets European TPED specifications and
is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLY by a
qualified propane dealer. A properly filled cylinder
should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity. Do not
overfill the cylinder or use a liquid withdraw cylinder on
the machine. The use of a liquid withdraw cylinder on
a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and
create a fire hazard.
Installing the LP Cylinder
1. Before bringing a propane cylinder indoors, always
check it for over-filling.
CAUTION! Always connect or change cylinders in a
well ventilated area.
2. Place the tank on the machine and secure with the
retaining strap. Remove slack by pulling on the
loose end of the strap and secure back to strap.
Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service valve
by turning clockwise. “HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.”
Make sure coupling is not cross threaded and check
for leakage by noting any propane odors immediately
after cylinder is connected. (It is sometimes easier to
install if the connection to the service valve is made
before strapping the cylinder in place.)
CAUTION! Always open service valve slowly to allow
pressure to equalize in hoses. Opening quickly may
cause the flow check valve to engage, limiting fuel
flow.
3. To remove the cylinder, reverse procedure.
