Page: 7 / 41

This machine is manufactured for
commercial use only.
This machine is designed and manufactured for burnishing
indoor hard floor surfaces. Amano Pioneer Eclipse does
not recommend use of this machine in any environment
other than an indoor environment.
Battery powered floor equipment is designed and
manufactured for commercial use only. These machines
are designed to burnish most modern types of floors
including composition tile, stone, marble, terrazzo, and
resilient floor covering, and some coated wood floors.
Operator Responsibility
The operator is responsible for performing the
recommended daily maintenance and checkups of the
machine to keep it in good working condition. The
operator must inform the service mechanic or supervisor
when recommended maintenance procedures are required
as prescribed in the MAINTENANCE section of this
manual.
Read this manual carefully before operating this machine.
FOR SAFETY: Do not operate machine before reading
and understanding the operation manual.
Check the machine for shipping damage.
Keep your machine regularly maintained by following the
maintenance information in this manual. We recommend
taking advantage of a service contract from your Amano

Order parts and supplies only from an Authorized Amano
Pioneer Eclipse Distributor. Use the parts illustration
section of your manual when ordering parts.
During and after operation, perform the recommended
daily and hourly procedures outlined in the Maintenance
Chart.
Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure
Level
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operator-
ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor treatment
and floor cleaning machines for industrial use. All tests
are performed in accordance with European Machinery
Directive (98/37/EC).
Outdoor test area consists of a flat open space free
from effects of signboards, buildings or hillsides for at
least 15m (50ft) from the center of the test surface.
Indoor tests are conducted in a semi-anechoic or
sound deadening room.
The test surface is a single sheet of floor covering at
least 1m (3.3ft) wider and longer than the equipment
being tested. In order to not affect the sound reading,
the observer taking readings is at least 2m (6.6ft) from
the equipment being tested, or standing directly
behind the operator.
All machines are tested while stationary and centered
on the test surface. With the traction drive in neutral
(where applicable) the test is conducted with the
machine at maximum engine or motor speed as
specified by the manufacturer.
The operator is located in the normal operating
position with the microphone or meter supported
independent of the machine, 1, 68m (66in) above the
test surface, 25cm (10in) to the right and left
centerline of the operators position, and 20cm (8in) to
the rearmost point of the handle, with the handle in
the most forward position.
The sound level meter is observed for a minimum of 5
seconds or until a stabilized reading is obtain. The
maximum repeatable sound level observed during the
test at each microphone position is recorded and
documented.
Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the
Grip Surface of Hand-Guided
Machinery
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the vibration
at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided
machines that are provided with handles in accordance
with European Machinery Directive (98/37/EC).
The test area consists of a flat open floor area that
allows the machine to be operated normally
The transducer is mounted firmly at a point halfway
along the length of the handle where the handle would
normally be held.
Machines are tested while stationary, with all
mechanisms necessary for the equipment to perform
its intended functions engaged and the traction drive
in neutral (if applicable). The machine will be tested
at maximum engine or motor speed as specified by
the manufacturer of the subject machine.
The measurements are recorded from the dominant
axis.
