OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow the instructions given in this manual 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!
This machine is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of correct voltage and properly assembled.
Your new floor machine operates in the normal side to side motion of a conventional single disc machine. Be prepared before starting by
removing all obstructions or other obstacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper application recommendations and procedures found
on the label of your cleaning or finish container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing or Polishing:
Select the correct floor pad or brush (your supplier can help you). If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly attach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR MACHINE, place the handle in the vertical position, then tilt the machine back until the
handle rests on the floor. Straddle the handle, facing the motor, and grasp the brush with the block toward you. Place the brush or pad
clutch plate over the three lugs on the motor drive adapter. Twist the brush right to lock it into position. To remove the brush, UNPLUG
THE MACHINE and follow the same procedure as above, but by twisting the brush off with a firm jerk to the left. Remove the brush or pad
driver when the machine is not in use. This will help prevent brush damage and reduce wobble problems.
DUAL SPEED CONTROL:
A rocker switch is located on the motor drip cover. Press the switch in on the side labeled LOW for 175 RPM pad
speed or to HIGH for 300 RPM pad speed.
OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded outlet (see Safety Instructions). Next, adjust the handle height to a comfortable
position.
Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start the machine by depressing either the left or right switch levers.
Both hands should be placed on the handle when the machine is in operation. The machine will glide sideways over the floor by a slight
raising and lowering of the handle. Raise the handle slightly to go to the right. Lower the handle slightly to go left.
Releasing the switch
lever stops the machine.
For Spray Buffing:
A diluted spray material of about one part water to one part solution is recommended. Heavier spray buff solutions will
bog down the machine, load up the pad and adversely affect the machine’s efficiency.
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 or
brush 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, maintenance, 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
or is used for spray buffing, 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. If you have any questions
regarding the maintenance of your floor machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
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 to signal when a carbon brush change is required.
