the drive components, or damage the floor.
Note: It is recommended to start grinding / polishing on
the right side of the aisle. Make sure there is plenty of
overlap between passes. Make appropriate number of
passes until floor has a consistent appearance prior to
moving to the next grit diamond. Walking speed is slow at
the lower grits and progressively faster with the higher
grits.
Burnishing
1. After engine has started, allow approximately 30
seconds for the engine to warm up.
2. Advance the throttle to the burnishing position.
3. Lower the burnishing head to the floor while
moving the machine forward slowly.

It is recommended to start burnishing on the right side of
the aisle, turn and come back down the aisle in the
opposite direction, overlapping the previous path slightly.
Continue this pattern until the floor area to be burnished
has been covered with the last pass being on the right
side of the machine. The forward speed is generally at
normal walking speed.
Idling and Stopping the Machine
DANGER! Allowing the engine to idle excessively will
increase carbon monoxide emissions! DO NOT leave the

the LP cylinder service valve. When the fuel is
depleted and the engine stops, turn the key switch
OFF.
3. Remove the LP cylinder and store properly. Refer
to Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders.
To stop the engine, close the service valve on the fuel
cylinder by turning it clockwise (the engine will stop when
the fuel in the lines is used up). Once the engine stops,
turn the keyswitch off.
