How the Machine Works
This machine is a propane powered hard floor machine
that has a pad driver that is belt driven directly from the
engine crank shaft.
Pre-Operation Checklist
Check the engine oil level. Add oil if needed.
Refer to Maintenance.
Inspect the engine dust filter and clean off any
debris or dust buildup. A dirty air filter could lead
to elevated levels of CO. Refer to Maintenance.
Inspect the engine carburetor filters. Clean or
replace, if needed. Refer to Maintenance.
Inspect the diamond or burnishing pad and
replace, if necessary. Refer to Pad Change.
Inspect the pad holder for cracks or damage!
Replace if necessary. Refer to Maintenance.
WARNING! A DAMAGED PAD HOLDER ROTATING AT
HIGH SPEEDS MAY BE AN EXTREME HAZARD IF IT
SHOULD DISINTEGRATE.
Inspect the drive belt. Replace if necessary.
Refer to Maintenance.
Check the machine for leaks or loose fasteners.
LP Fuel Cylinder
This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder,
which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These cylinders
are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel cylinder meets
European TPED specifications and is CE compliant.
Filling should be done ONLY by a qualified propane dealer.
A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the
rated capacity. Do not overfill the cylinder or use a liquid
withdraw cylinder on the machine. The use of a liquid
withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could freeze
the regulator and create a fire hazard.
Installing the LP Cylinder
1. Before bringing a propane cylinder indoors, always
check it for over-filling.
2. Place the tank on the machine and secure with the
retaining strap. Remove slack by pulling on the
loose end of the strap and securing with velcro.
Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service
valve by turning clockwise. HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. Make sure coupling is not cross threaded
and check for leakage by noting any propane
odors immediately after cylinder is connected. (It
is sometimes easier to install if the connection to
the service valve is made before strapping the
cylinder in place.)
