Operating instructions of a PV25-C25-C27
Please find the following correct operating procedure for the operation of the Polivac
range of polishers and scrubbers, PV25, C25 and C27.
1.
Plug in power cable. Power supply will be visible via the red light on the top of the
handle.
2.
Tilt the machine back by using the handle.
3.
a) Place the Brush or Pad Holder over the 3 Leaf clover connection and turn it clock-
wise to lock the Brush/Pad Holder into position.
b) If the connection has a brass 3 puck clutch fitted, locate the Brush/Pad Holder on the
metal drive clutch, by slotting grooves together, then turn Brush/Pad Holder sharply to
the left.
4.
Once the Brush/Pad Holder is fitted, stand the machine back up.
5.
Slightly lift the handle up and manoeuvre the wheels backwards and up out of the way
(the wheels must be off the floor when polishing).
6.
The handle height must be adjusted to suit individual operators body proportions. Adjust
the ergonomic handle to the correct height by placing your foot or hand on the ratchet
lever, then positioning the handle. The correct height of the handle is around the groin
region.
7.
When the handle is set at the correct height, the arms should grip the handle in a
comfortable, but loose manner (if your arms are bent at the elbows this is an indication
that you are applying too much effort to control the machine) Re-adjust the handle.
8.
To start the machine, first you must depress the red safety button that is next to the hand
trigger, then grasp either of the red triggers, and the motor will engage the brush. Do not
force the trigger without first releasing the safety button as this will damage the safety
release in the trigger mechanism. Once the machine is on, the safety button can be
released.
9.
To facilitate the correct swinging motion of the machine, lift the handle slightly forward to
get the polisher to move to the right and lower the handle to get the machine to move to
the left. This requires minimal effort. So, if you are fighting the machine for control you
have the handle set at the wrong height or your pad or cloverleaf locking mechanism is
damaged.
10.
(PV25 Only)
To use the vacuum system whilst polishing, switch the vac motor to the on
position. The vacuum will be activated upon starting the machine.
11.
When stripping floors using the PV25, ensure vacuum motor is switched OFF.
12.
Ensure that brushware is removed from the machine after use and before storing
machine away.
