PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR
OPERATION
To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be sure
the handle is “locked” in the upright position
(See picture #1)
.
Lay the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the
floor, this exposes the driving plate on the underside of the floor
machine. Holding the drive block, brush or attachment in both
hands and straddling the motor with your back to the handlebox,
bend over and fit the three slots of the clutch plate (build into the
back of the brush) over the three lugs of the driving plate. Turn
the drive block, brush or attachment counter-clockwise as far as
it will go until it is seated in the ready-to-use position.
(See pic-
ture #2)
CAUTION
: This is the only proper way to install a drive
block, brush or attachment. NEVER put a drive block, brush or
attachment on the machine by placing it on the floor and mov-
ing the running machine over it, or by placing the machine over
the block or attachment and then starting the motor. Return the
floor machine to upright position and adjust handle to operating
position. Recommended handle position is close to the waist with
arms extended down. Lock the cam release lever into position.
NOTE
:
The hardened steel cam release lever does not require
extreme tightening to effectively hold the handle in position. Over-
tightening will shorten the functional life of the lever.
To remove
drive block, brush or attachment:
Lay the floor machine on it’s
back again and disengage clutch plate slots from driving plate
lugs by turning clockwise.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
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
(see picture #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 Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle is lifted,
the faster the machine will move to the right. To 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.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Place the handle in the upright position. Lock the handle cam
release lever. Tip the machine back and transport on the wheels.
MAINTENANCE
Once a month remove the motor cover and vacuum out any
dust or debris which has accumulated on the motor. Replace
the motor cover by setting it over the holes in the housing and
replace all of the screws. Check and maintain the tightness of all
the fasteners.
WARNING
: Do not over-tighten the switch housing screws.
Keep the machine clean especially at the handle tube and collar
so the handle tube will move freely through the collar. Inspect
the cord for cuts, gashes, or loose prongs; replace as needed.
Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty. Improper disas-
sembly and assembly of this motor can permanently damage the
field or rotor.
