OPERATING PROCEDURES - SINGLE SPEED
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine
follow the instructions given in this manual and the
training given by your supervisor. Failure to do so can
result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and
property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!
This machine is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of
correct voltage and properly assembled.
Your new floor machine operates in the normal side to side
motion of a conventional single disc machine. Be prepared
before starting by removing all obstructions or other obsta-
cles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper application
recommendations and procedures found on the label of your
cleaning or finish container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing or Polishing:
Select the correct clean
SSS floor pad or brush (your Triple S Distributor can assist
you). If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly attach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR
MACHINE, place the handle in the vertical position, then
tilt the machine back until the handle rests on the floor.
Straddle the handle, facing the motor, and grasp the brush
with the block toward you. Place the brush or pad clutch
plate over the three lugs on the motor drive adapter. Twist
the brush right to lock it into position. To remove the brush,
UNPLUG THE MACHINE and follow the same procedure
as above, but by twisting the brush off with a firm jerk to the
left. Remove the brush or pad driver when the machine is
not in use. This will help prevent brush damage and reduce
wobble problems.
OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded
outlet (see Safety Instructions). Next, adjust the handle
height to a comfortable position.
Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start
the machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers.
Both hands should be placed on the handle when the machine
is in operation. The machine will glide sideways over the
floor by a slight raising and lowering of the handle. Raise
the handle slightly to go to the right. Lower the handle
slightly to go left. Releasing the switch lever stops the
machine at once.
For Spray Buffing: A diluted spray of about one part water
to one part solution is recommended. Heavier spray buff
solutions will bog down the machine, load up the pad and
adversely affect the machine’s efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE: Store the machine in a clean dry
area. Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a clean
cloth. Remove the pad or brush and clean thoroughly. Wrap
the machine’s electrical cord onto the handles and the cord
hook provided. CHECK the cord and plug for nicks, cuts or
damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine’s electrical
plug from the electrical outlet before performing any
service, maintenance, pad changing or inspection of the
machine.
MOTOR: The motor is lubricated for life under normal
use. No oiling or greasing is necessary. However, if the
machine is used in dusty areas or is used for spray buffing,
the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out with
compressed air or with the exhaust from a vacuum is sug-
gested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear pas-
sage of air for ventilation and prevent overheating. If you
have any questions regarding the maintenance of your floor
machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
