4.0 Troubleshooting
Never operate this floor machine when the equipment is not performing as
expected or when any part is visibly damaged. The cause and solution for
some basic problems are described below. When repair is needed, take
the equipment to an authorized repair service center.
4.1 Floor machine will not run
-
Circuit breaker tripped in building.
Check and reset.
-
Equipment unplugged.
Check plug at wall and at machine base.
Plug in.
-
Power cord failure.
Test with a working power cord. Lock the
handle up and tip the motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor
and plug the motor into your working power cord.
IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you
have removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you
are sending power directly to the motor. If the motor now spins,
the problem is in the cord or the handle assembly. Seek
authorized repair service.
If the motor still does not spin, the problem is either in the male
connection at the motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized
repair service.
-
Motor sparks or smokes.
Seek authorized repair service.
4.2 Electrical shock to operator

Test the outlet with a ground fault
interrupter. Retain a certified electrician to inspect and repair
grounding. NEVER clip off the ground plug on your cord.

High amp draw and circuit breaking can
be an electrical or mechanical problem. Seek authorized repair
service.
