The 1500 RPM burnisher should
only be used for high luster burnish-
ing or polishing. It can be used in
conjunction with any of the ultra high
speed chemical systems. It is
mandatory, however, that the floor
be prepared as directed by the
chemical manufacturer. This will
eliminate a possibility of damage to
floor due to the high speed of the
burnisher.

AGE

1

Begin operating this burnisher at the
closest point to your electrical outlet,
working away from the outlet. This will
prevent running over the electric cord.
Operate the burnisher in a straight-line
path and avoid continuous operation in
one spot.

DO NOT

hold burnisher stationary while

it is running, this will result in damage to
floor and floor finish.

If burnisher wobbles, vibrates or
pulls, follow these instructions:

1)

This burnisher is factory adjusted

and set to operate between 13.2 and
14 amps.

2)

Never leave burnisher resting on floor

pad overnight. This will cause the pad to
lose its normal shape, causing wobbling
and vibration. Check pad for unevenness
and change is necessary.

3) 

Before turning burnisher on, run tip

of finger between outside of pad and
floor. The outer ring face should be in
full contact with the floor in order for
high speed buffing to be most effective.
If necessary change pad.

4)

If steps 2 and 3 do not correct the

problem, a certified technician should
reset rear wheels, of the burnisher as
follows:

Adjusting knobs operate individually. To
raise or lower the rear portion of the
large wheels, untighten set screw on
the under side of each knob using a
5/32 allen wrench. The body is raised
when knob is turned to the right and
lowered when knob is turned to the left. 

If the Burnisher Has:

Forward Pull:

Raise left side only

Backward Push:

Raise right side only

Right Pull:

Lower Both sides equally

Left Pull:

Raise both sides equally

After adjustments have been made the
technician must check the amp draw
keeping it within the 13.2 - 14 amp,
factory specifications. Failure to do so
may cause the unit to draw excessive
current and damage the burnisher. 

Retighten both set screws.
