Run the engine at slow throttle position for approximately two minutes to allow efficient warm up. Advance to
full throttle (Run) and run machine. Preferably your machine should not be operated at anything less than full
throttle because a lower speed will cut down the incoming fresh air that is required for the cooling of the
engine.

proceed to walk forward with the pads in full contact with the floor.
Warning: When the pads are moving, the machine must be tilted back or on the floor moving
When buffing, avoid any loose surfaces, electrical points, door trims and any object which may come in a
contact with the brushes/pads other than the floor itself.

2.
Return the throttle to the start position.
3.
