OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION OF MACHINE
Your Tornado® Floor machine is ready for operation as soon as it is unpacked. Remove the
machine from the pallet and discard bolts.
Before any operation should begin, please read your Engine Operation Manual and your
Owner’s Manual.
The unit comes shipped without fuel in the tank. Be careful not to overfill the tank. The best
method for filling the tank is to have the full tank weighed at the filling station. The steel tank
should weigh no more than 43 pounds. Also, adjust the handle to a comfortable position and
insert the locking pins. Then, with two ¾” wrenches tighten the two main bolts in the handle
support to 40-50 ft/lbs.
Check the engine oil level. The unit will come shipped with oil. Always keep the engine oil
level between the full and add marks on the dipstick. Replace the oil by performing the
following steps :
-
Park your Pro-Glazer on a level surface and make sure the engine is stopped.
-
Turn the oil cap counter clockwise and then lift from the fill tube.
-
Wipe the dip stick clean and push it back into the oil fill tube until the cap seats
and then withdraw it to check the oil level. (Do not screw in to check level.) Add oil
if necessary.
-
Replace oil cap.
-
If the oil is low, add API Class SG or SH oil having a SAE viscosity grade
appropriate for the expected temperatures as indicated in the
Engine Operators
Manual
.
The machine is shipped with the battery connected.
Inspect all fuel hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair any leaks immediately.
Check the carb filter and air filter for debris. Clean and replace if necessary.
Connect fuel hose to tank by (hand tightening) the hose fitting to the tank. Make sure the
connection is tight to prevent leaks.
