2.1 Attach the Power Cord
The triple-wire grounded power cord has been factory-installed
into the handle tube. A flexible rubber cable connector (11) is
used to secure the plug-in connections. The floor machine ships
with this connector mounted on the cord coming out of the
handle (10). Stretch the connector and slip the male connector
(9) (coming out of the motor housing) through the connector
hole and then into the female connector.
Now, plug the end of the 50 foot cord into a grounded power
outlet. Squeeze the triggers on the handle and check for power
to the motor.
2.2 Install Brush / Pad Driver
A brush or pad driver mounts onto your floor machine
with a “B” style Universal clutch plate.
Lock the machine handle in the “up” position
and tip the floor machine back fully.
Slide the brush or pad driver clutch plate
(11) over the drive plug (12).
Give the brush a quick counter-clockwise
spin to lock the brush onto the drive plug.
Now, lower the machine back onto the brush.
You’re ready to go to work.
