MACHINE OPERATION
1.
Adjust handle to a comfortable working height and tighten belts.
2.
Check the engine oil level and condition.
3.
Secure the gas cylinder on a machine (at the back of the machine) and lock the belts.
4.
Fit and secure gas cylinder hose.
5.

STARTING THE ENGINE
1.
Set the throttle to the slow position.
2.
With the gas cylinder valve open, engage the ignition key to the start position until the engine
begins operation, which should
n’t be any longer than 4-5 seconds (in a normal weather
condition).
Run the engine at slow throttle position for approximately two minutes to allow efficient warm up. Advance to
full throttle and run machine. Preferably your machine should not be operated at anything less than full throttle
because a lower speed will cut down the incoming fresh air that is required for the cooling of the engine.
OPERATION OF STRIPPER
With the engine at full throttle, slowly bit the stripper forward until the brush/pad starts to contact the floor.
Then proceed to walk forward with the brush in full contact with the floor.
When stripping, avoid any loose surfaces, electrical points, door trims and any object which may come in a
contact with the brushes/pads other than the floor itself.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.
Return the throttle to the extreme slow position.
2.
Turn the ignition key back to OFF position & remove the key.
3.
Remove the gas line hose from the cylinder.
