OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this booklet and the training given by
your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
The models shown in this manual are intended for commercial use. THIS MACHINE IS NOT INTENDED FOR SPRAY BUFFING.
USING THIS UNIT FOR SPRAY BUFFING WILL VOID WARRANTY.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt, ask your su-
pervisor.
Your new floor machine operates in a straight-line forward motion, rather than the normal side to side motion of a conven-
tional single disc machine. Be prepared by having your floor area cleared and ready for the fast action of a burnisher.
Prepare the floor area by sweeping, dusting or mopping as needed. Check the proper application recommendations and
procedures found on the label of your finish container.
IF IN DOUBT, CALL YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Burnishing: Select the correct clean floor pad (your supplier can help you). The lighter color floor pads (buff or white) are
normally used for the burnishing procedure.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE FLOOR PAD INSTALLED!
It is very important to select clean, dry pads of uniform thickness. Pads with high or low sections, or hard or soft spots are
unacceptable. Pads of open weave are recommended; because close weaves tend to load up fast, bog down the machines,
cause circuits to overload and generally give poor results.
Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and then tip the machine back to expose the pad driver. Remove the pad center
lock ring. Carefully center the pad onto the pad driver and secure with the locking ring. Check for level, centering and flat-
ness.
OPERATION
Set the machine upright onto the pad. Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded outlet (see Safety Instruc-
tions). Next, release the handle by unlocking the knob and allow the handle to lower into a comfortable position. THEN
ALWAYS SECURE THE HANDLE LOCKING KNOB. This will allow the operator to easily control the pad pressure.
Depress the handle slightly to elevate the pad from the floor. This is to avoid burning the floor on initial start up, before the
operator is ready to move forward. Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start the machine by depressing
either the left or right switch levers.
When you’re ready to move forward, lower the machine head and pad to the floor and proceed forward in a straight line, at
a steady pace.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE: Store the machine in a clean dry area. Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a clean cloth.
Remove the pad and clean thoroughly. Wrap the machine’s electrical cord onto the handles and the cord hook provided.
CHECK the cord and plug for nicks, cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
WARNING!
Always disconnect the machine’s electrical plug from the electrical outlet before performing any service, main-
tenance, pad changing or inspection of the machine.
MOTOR: The motor is lubricated for life under normal use. No oiling or greasing is necessary. However, if the machine is
used in dusty areas the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out with compressed air or with the exhaust from a
vacuum is suggested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear passage of air for ventilation and prevent overheating.
BELT TENSION: Proper belt tension is important for smooth operation and belt life. Check the belt tension and have no
more than a 1/8-inch deflection. If adjustment is needed, loosen the four (4) motor mounting bolts. Then move the motor
and retighten the four (4) motor mounting bolts.
CARBON BRUSH INSPECTION: Long life 3000-hour carbon brushes are installed in the motor. The machine is also equipped
with a carbon brush wear indicator light to signal when a carbon brush change is required.
