INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE
MACHINE
Being mindful of the machine’s weight, first install the
pad driver and pad, brush or other attachments to be
used. Plug the machine in as directed and lower the
handle to the desired operating height and lock in place
using the cam lever handle. Push the safety switch
forward (Figure 3) and squeeze the switch triggers
beneath the handle grips. This activates the motor and
starts the block, brush or attachment in operation. Each
time you release the triggers the safety switch will reset.
You will need to follow the direction above to restart the
machine.
CAUTION:
When leaving the machine unattended,
disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the
“locked” upright position to prevent accidental starting.
TO GUIDE YOUR FLOOR MACHINE
To the Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle
is lifted, the faster the machine will move to the right.
To the Left: to change direction, lower the handle until
the machine travels to the left. The more the handle is
lowered, the faster the movement to the left.
TO INSTALL THE OPTIONAL SOLUTION TANK
Mount the solution tank to the front of the handle and
attach with mounting brackets and knobs. Position the
solution tank control handle horizontally and below the
switch lever of the machine and adjacent to the right
handle grip. Remove the plug from the motor housing
and insert the (long) extension tube adaptor and secure
at bottom of machine with the retainer. The solution tank
should be used only with a showerfeed drive block or
brush.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THE DUAL
SPEED MACHINE
Follow the operation procedures described for 175 RPM
machines.
The proper speed selection is important to properly
operate these machines. Speed selection Low (175
RPM) or High (320 RPM) is made with the switch located
on the base and motor housing, Figure 4. Stripping,
scrubbing, bonnet cleaning and shampooing should be
performed at Low (175 RPM) Low Speed. Spray buffing
and dry buffing should be performed at High (320 RPM),
High Speed. Spray cleaning is a two speed maintenance
operation. Apply a spray buff chemical to the floor ahead
of the machine. Make the first passes through the spray
buff at low (175 RPM) speed with an open weave blue
cleaner pad or the brown hoghair blend spray cleaner
pad. Remove the spray cleaning pad and place a buff-
ing pad on the machine, yellow, beige or natural hoghair
blend pads. Switch the speed to High (320 RPM) and
buff the dulled finish to a high gloss. Unplug the power
cord and wrap it under the cord hook and over the right
handle grip. Clean the cord off to prevent heavy soiling
and cleaning residues from building up on the cord. This
is a good time to inspect the cord for cuts, gashes and
loose prongs.
