Operating Instructions
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical
outlet before servicing and when leaving
unattended.
To Operate:
IMPORTANT - Always wear shoes
when using your Low Boy.
Raise the handle pin release with foot.
Lean handle back. While handle is
released and with both hands on
handle grips, squeeze the ON/OFF
lever located on the right grip to turn
on.
To Attach the Drive Pad Holder or
Brush:
Lay the machine on its back to reveal
the bottom pan. Align the indentations
in the pad holder with the brackets
around the bottom pan. Place your
hands on opposite sides of the pad
holder and using the heel of your
hands, push the pad holder onto the
pan.
Use the included key to rotate the
swing arms clockwise to lock the pad
holder to the bottom pan. Place a pad
on the floor and position the machine
so that as the handle is raised the pad
holder is centered on the pad.
To Attach the Pad:
Lay the floor machine on its back with
the handle lying on the floor. This
exposes the brush holder pan. Just
place the pad over the round brush
holder pan making sure it is in place.
CAUTION:
NEVER put the pad on the
machine by placing it on the floor and
moving the running machine over it, or
placing the machine over the pad and
then starting the motor.

To Guide the Machine
Hold the handle with both hands and push with the palms of your hands
to move in the forward direction, then cup your hands and pull to bring
back. The design of the machine eliminates the fatigue associated with
controlling other floor machines.
Care of your Oreck Low Boy Floor Machine
This is a precision machine. Dropping unreasonable bumping or rough
handling may result in damage. Remove brushes after use. The bristles
may be damaged due to the weight of the machine. Store your machine
in the upright position. After each use, remove wax or cleaning
solutions. After sanding, blow sawdust off motor and locking
mechanism.
Lubrication:
With the handle in its
lowest position, periodically place one
drop of oil (3-in-One) on the thrust
bearings.
