MACHINE INSPECTION
Now that the machine is unpacked remember to
recycle all packing materials.
Inspect the machine for damage or missing
components. If damage is found, contact the local
freight company to file a freight claim.
ASSEMBLY
This machine is packed in two separate cartons, the
handle assembly in one, base in the other.
Since the Galaxy is available in a variety of voltages
and frequencies, it is important to ensure that the
correct handle is installed with the correct base. The
base part number and the handle part number it goes
with are stated on the nameplate affixed to the base
motor. The part number of the handle assembly is
noted on the part number label affixed to the handle.
Correct combinations are as follows:
120 Volt Handle Assembly, part number 0395311
must be used with the following bases:
0306171
20" 120V60HZ, 1.5 HP w/o Dust Ctrl
240 Volt Handle Assembly, part number 0395701
must be used with the following bases:
0306191
20" 230V60HZ, 1.5 HP w/o Dust Ctrl
To assemble the machine, remove the two sections from
their cartons, and perform the steps indicated on the
supplied Assembly Poster.
1. Remove the hex screws and washers from the left
end of the two handle shafts located at the rear of
the base, and slide the shafts out far enough to clear
the center opening in the frame. Note that the 2 rear
wheels are installed on the rear-most shaft.
2. Position the handle in the base, inline with the holes
for the forward-most handle shaft, and push the
shaft thru the base and the handle bushings. Re-
install the washers and screw.
3. Position the lower holes of the handle brace in-line
with the holes for the rear-most shaft, and re-install
the shaft along with the rear wheel and spacers.
Locate the handle brace spacer on the shaft
between the pivot bushings. Re-install the
washers and screw.
4. Plug the handle cord and the motor cord together,
cover with plastic tube cover.
See the Assembly Poster for more detailed instructions.
OPERATION
Installing the Pad
Make sure machine is unplugged before proceeding.
Lock handle in the upright position.
Tilt the machine back until the handle is resting on
the floor and the underside of the machine is
exposed.
Remove the center lock by squeezing the wire
spring clip. Center the pad on the driver. Position the
center lock in the center of the pad then push on the
center lock until you hear the wire spring click into
place. If possible, press the center lock further until a
second click is heard.
Starting the Machine
These machines are equipped with a system to
prevent accidental starting that consists of a
mechanical lockout on the front of the machine
handle, which must be activated before the machine
will start. To start the machine:
First, check to see that the dead man, or switch
lever lockout, located at the top and center of the
handle is in the
“OFF”
(up)
position and not stuck or
malfunctioning in the
“ON” (down)
position before
plugging the machine in.
Plug the machine in.
Grip the handles with both hands.
Push down on the lock-out with the thumb of one
hand, and with the other hand squeeze the switch
lever.
CAUTION:
The machine will start operating when
the switch lever is squeezed.
Running the Machine
Floors should be dust mopped to remove surface
litter and damp mopped to remove grit (preferably
scrubbed with an auto-scrubber), otherwise the
buffer will anneal dirt into the finish.
Start at a point nearest the electrical outlet and walk
as far as the cord will let you travel. Make a 180-
degree turn
away
from the cord and walk the
machine in a path parallel to the first pass, slightly
overlapping the preceding path.
Never buff in one location for more than 5 seconds,
or scoring of the floor finish or tile may result.
Without letting go of the handle, release the switch
levers to stop machine.
CAUTION:
Machine pad will continue to rotate a few
seconds after the switch lever is released.
