PROGLAZER® STARTING PROCEDURE
These units are equipped with a 12-volt starter and key switch.
1. Tilt machine back so the floor pad is off the floor.
2. Turn the fuel tank knob slowly until you hear the flow of the fuel into the fuel system.
3. Push in the spring covered pin in the center of the vacuum lock-off at least 3 times (The
vacuum lock-off is located on the left-side of the machine within a bracket).
4. Turn the key switch fully counterclockwise to the “Start” position and hold it there until the
engine starts. Do not crank more than 5 seconds at a time, and wait at least 15 seconds between
tries when cranking. See Trouble Shooting Table if the engine does not start after several tries.
5. After the engine starts, move the throttle to the slow position. Do not operate buffer until
the engine has warmed up sufficiently, recommended as 3-5 minutes at idle.
6. Lower pad to floor slowly, and operate at full throttle.
STOPPING ENGINE
1. Lower the engine speed to an idle, and allow the engine to idle for about one minute.
2. Turn fuel valve on tank to the closed position and allow the engine to continue running until it
runs out of fuel.
3. Turn the key to the off position.
Caution:
In an emergency, turn the key to the off position, and close the fuel valve. Backfiring may occur
when using this method.
MOUNTING PAD AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS
(WARNING: TURN OFF UNIT BEFORE STARTING PAD INSTALL)
(WARNING: REMOVE LP TANK BEFORE TURNING OVER THE MACHINE)
To mount or remove a pad, tilt the machine back until it rests on the back wheels. Unscrew the
padlock nut while gripping the pad and pad driver. Position a new pad concentric with the pad
driver and retighten with the pad-lock nut.
To remove the pad driver, tilt the machine on its side. Use a 3/4” wrench to hold the main shaft
which is located between the four bolts in the front and on the top of the machine. Then, rotate
the pad driver counterclockwise to unscrew it from the main shaft.
For long life and best results always use genuine Powr-Flite accessories.
MAINTENANCE OF THE PAD HOLDER
Remove the pad holder when the machine is not in use, and hang on wall peg or similar holder.
POLISHING
Use 3/4” to 1” thick BEIGE high speed burnishing pads. Floors should be dry mopped to remove
grit.
