WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine
follow the instructions given in this booklet 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 EN-
VIRONMENT!
The models shown in this manual are intended for com-
mercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of
correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt,
ask your supervisor.
Your new floor machine operates in a straight-line for-
ward motion, rather than the normal side to side motion
of a conventional single disc machine. Be prepared by
having your floor area cleared and ready for the fast
action of a burnisher.
Prepare the floor area by sweeping, dusting or mopping
as needed. Check the proper application recommen-
dations and procedures found on the label of your finish
container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAM-
MABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Burnishing:
Select the correct clean floor pad
(your supplier can help you). The lighter color floor pads
(buff or white) are normally used for the burnishing pro-
cedure.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOOR PAD INSTALLED!
It is very important to select clean, dry pads of uniform
thickness. Pads with high or low sections, or hard or
soft spots are unacceptable. Pads of open weave are
recommended; because close weaves tend to load up
fast, bog down the machines, cause circuits to over-
load and generally give poor results.
Unplug the machine from the wall outlet and then tip the
machine back to expose the pad driver. Remove the
pad center lock ring. Carefully center the pad onto the
pad driver and secure with the locking ring. Check for
level, centering and flatness.
OPERATION
Set the machine upright onto the pad. Plug the
machine’s power cable into a properly grounded outlet
(see Safety Instructions). Next, release the handle by
unlocking the knob and allow the handle to lower into a
comfortable position. THEN ALWAYS SECURE THE
HANDLE LOCKING KNOB. This will allow the operator
to easily control the pad pressure.
Depress the handle slightly to elevate the pad from the
floor. This is to avoid burning the floor on initial start up,
before the operator is ready to move forward. Pull out
on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start the
machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers.
When you’re ready to move forward, lower the machine
head and pad to the floor and proceed forward in a straight
line, at a steady pace.
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 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 elec-
trical plug from the electrical outlet before per-
forming 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 the motor should be
cleaned. Blowing the motor out with compressed air or
with the exhaust from a vacuum is suggested. Keeping
the motor clean will allow the clear passage of air for
ventilation and prevent overheating.
BELT TENSION:
Proper belt tension is important for
smooth operation and belt life. Check the belt tension
and have no more than a 1/8-inch deflection. If adjust-
ment is needed, loosen the four (4) motor mounting
bolts. Then move the motor and retighten the four (4)
motor mounting bolts.
CARBON BRUSH INSPECTION:
Long life 3000-hour
carbon brushes are installed in the motor. The machine
is also equipped with a carbon brush wear indicator light
to signal when a carbon brush change is required.
