4.3 Polishing
•
Fit polishing brush or drive disc and pad suitable for
the speed of the machine and the surface to be
polished. (see
Accessories
).
•
Apply polish to the floor in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
•
Do not
keep the machine rotating on one spot for
more than 3 seconds, as this could cause
overheating and damage the floor surface.
4.4 Scrubbing and Shampooing
•
For scrubbing or shampooing the solution tank must
be fitted as described (see
Fitting the solution
tank
).
•
Fit a brush or drive disc and pad suitable for the
surface to be cleaned. (see
Accessories
).
•
WARNING - This appliance has been designed
for use with the brushes specified by the
manufacturer. The fitting of other brushes may
affect its safety.
•
Fill the solution tank with water and an appropriate
measure of detergent.
•
IMPORTANT
- Use only cleaning agents suitable
for automatic machines i.e. low foaming, and follow
the chemical manufactuers’ directions regarding
use, handling, disposal and health and safety
provisions.
•
Before starting the machine release a liberal
amount of cleaning solution from the tank to the
floor. The flow of solution from the tank is controlled
by moving the left hand lever. Releasing the lever
stops the flow.
•
Proceed to operate the machine in the normal
manner, releasing more cleaning solution from time
to time as required.
•
Do not
keep the machine rotating on one spot for
more than 3 seconds, as this could cause
overheating and damage the floor surface.
•
Dirty water should not be allowed to accumulate on
the floor, it should be removed to prevent dirt from
settling. We suggest using a suction dryer for this
purpose.
•
When scrubbing/shampooing is complete, unplug
the machine from the power supply, empty the
solution tank and clean and dry the machine.
•
IMPORTANT
- Dispose of unused cleaning solution
in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions.
4.5 Fitting the solution tank
NOTE -
The solution tank is supplied as an accessory
item, complete with attachments and fitting
instructions.
•
Move the handle to the upright position and clamp
the tank support bracket to the handle tube in the
specified position (Fig.4). (Refer to the instructions
supplied with the tank).
•
Take the solution tank and pass the ring on the tank
chain over the left hand operating lever and locate
the ring in the inside slot on the top of the lever.
Rest the solution tank on the support bracket with
the handle tube in the groove on the back of the
tank.
•
To secure the tank in position, engage the locking
bar on the back of the tank.
•
Adjust the length of the chain by means of the
screw and nut adjuster to ensure there is no tension
on the chain when the flow control lever is not being
used.
•
Take the plastic tube supplied and push rigid end of
tube into the connector on the underside of the
solution tank, and the other end onto the tube at the
rear of the motor housing. The tank connector is of
the sealed lock-in type once the tube is connected.
To release, press down on the orange collar of the
connector with the finger tips and pull out tube.
4.6 Removing the solution tank

Lift off tank and detach chain ring from lever.
4.7 The vacuum unit
NOTE -
The vacuum unit and vacuum skirt are
supplied as accessory items, complete with
attachments and fitting instructions.The vacuum unit
combined with the vacuum skirt provides full dust
control, eliminating the need to pre-dust or post dust
the floor. The unit is designed to fit readily to all Orbis
models.
IMPORTANT - The vacuum unit is NOT suitable
for any form of wet cleaning.
4.8 Fitting the vacuum skirt
•
Unplug and lay the machine down with the
handlebar resting on the floor. Remove the brush or
drive disc.
•
Stretch and fit the rubber buffer around the brush
guard.
•
The flexible section of the skirt has a special spring
sewn into the fabric. Fit this spring section into the
groove in the rubber buffer.
•
The spring is a reasonably tight fit to prevent
accidental movement in use and therefore must be
pulled onto the buffer by stretching.
•
With the skirt on the buffer it can be moved in its
groove to bring the hose connector to the rear,
ensuring the base moulding lies in the cut-out
