Introduction to the Floor Care Machine
ONYX propane floor care equipment is manufactured in two basic concepts: the buffer/burnisher and the
floor stripper. Both of these designs are truly PORTABLE equipment. Propane buffers are best defined as
ultra high speed buffers with the staying power to produce superior high gloss floor surfaces. Upon contact
with the floor, the buffer should always be kept moving. The speed at which you walk will determine the
results that you will obtain. Slower speeds create more heat and therefore more shine. ONYX recommends
a moderate pace for best results and safe operation. NEVER RUN WITH THE BUFFER!! While a credible
shine will still result, the danger of trying to stop the machine in an emergency situation is unacceptable.
When buffing, avoid loose tile, electric outlets, door thresholds and any object which may come in contact
with the pad other than the floor itself.
REMEMBER
, the pad is turning very rapidly.
Proper care and maintenance will protect your investment and keep your machine serving you for many years
to come. It is essential that these issues are closely followed:
CAUTION: Overfilling the propane tank is the number one cause of problems with a propane machine.
This can cause the engine to run poorly or not
at
all. In addition, overfilling allows liquid propane to enter
the fuel control system, possibly ruining the lock off / regulator assembly. This voids the warranty on
affected parts of the machine. To avoid problems, read and understand fully, the section "Filling and
Storing Propane Tanks."
OVERHEATING
is a major cause of engine failure. Keep the cooling air bonnet filter clean. Protect your
machine; don’t allow wax dust/lint to build up on the cooling fins of the engine cylinder(s). A good high
pressure spray wash directed at the fins when the engine is cold will prevent this from happening.
