SKIRT ADJUSTMENT
With the pad/brush fitted check that the Skirt
Assembly is sitting evenly on the floor. Rotate the
rubber Inlet Hose to be in slight compression when
machine is level with the floor. This optimizes the
skirt height refer to Pic 14
PLANNING THE JOB
Plan the work path based on the location of the
power point, room/furniture layout, entrance and exit
points
.
Work away from the power cord to avoid
entanglement with the rotating brush/pad
mechanism.
Ensure that the power cord is clear of the operator’s
feet to avoid tripping, refer to Pic 15
TRANSPORTATION
For transporting the machine on level surfaces
adjust the handle in an upright position, and
transport the machine on the back wheels refer to
Pic 16.
When transporting the machine and stairs are
encountered mechanical lifting aids should be used.
Do not transport the machine up stairs by pulling on
the handle, this practice increases forces on the
operator that can cause operator injury.
Where lifting of the machine is inevitable, operators
should be trained in team lifting and manual
handling techniques.
PAD AND BRUSH MAINTENANCE
Replace brushes and pads that are excessively
worn, to reduce the risk of floor damage.
Wash pads on a regular basis and then store to dry.
Excessive amounts of polish congealed on brush
bristles or embedded in the pad will cause
excessive drag that can over load the machine.
For best results use clean or new brushes and
pads.
Abrasive materials embedded in pads can scratch
the floor surface. Ensure clean pads are used.
Remove brushes and pad holders from the
machine when stored. In storage the weight of the
machine can deform these parts causing the
machine to vibrate on the next use.
