2.0 Grounding Instructions
DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord containing a grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded
wire to a at bed terminal. The green insulated wire, with or without yellow stripes, is the
grounding wire.
The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual-Speed Floor Machine operates on a 10.8 amp
nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit (motors may be custom wired at the factory
220V, 50 Hz international operation). The, amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on
the motor spec label found on each oor machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the spec label will damage the motor. Always check your local voltage
requirements.
This oor machine is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that
ts the outlet illustrated in Figure A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a
temporary adapter, such as the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to
connect the plug into a 2-pole outlet, as shown in Figure C.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A,
can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green color rigid ear lug or grounding
means extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by its grounding means and a metal screw, as shown in Figure C.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the
equipment. If it will not t into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial Dual-Speed Floor Machine is built with a 50 foot
(15 M) safety cord which plugs directly into an approved outlet. Use of extension cords
is NOT RECOMMENDED. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. This adaptor may not be used in Canada.

3.0 Assembly Instructions
3.1 Handle Installation
Thismachinehandle(1)hasbeencustomttoits
mountingyoke(2)atthefactoryandthentakenapartfor
shipping.Foreasyassembly,makesurethatthehandle

assembly are in the plastic bag attached to the handle.
2. Position the handle (1) over the mounting yoke
(2) with the power cord (3) facing away from the
motor. Push the tube down until the bolt holes are
lined up.
3. Insert the mounting bolts (4) into the bolt holes
from the back of the machine. Secure each bolt
with a locking nut (5). The locking nuts will face
the motor.
4. The handle mounting collar (6) is designed to slide
freely up and down the handle tube. This feature
allows the handle to be adjusted for the comfortable
operation of all users. Align the mounting collar (6)
and the two bent handle braces (7).
5. Remove the lever assembly parts from the plastic
bag.
• Place the thick spacer with a rectangular hole (9)
onto the locking lever shaft (8). The spacer must
t onto the rectangular neck of the lever.
• Insert the shaft through the mounting hole in the
right handle brace, the mounting collar and the left
handle brace.
• Place the spacer (10) on the shaft.
• Place the split washer (11) on the shaft.
• Adjust the wing nut for tightness. When correctly
installed, the collar slides easily when the cam-
engineered locking lever is “up,” but is rmly
xed when the lever is “down.”

3.2 Install / Change the Apron
If you’ve purchased more than one apron, you can easily
change aprons for different cleaning jobs.
• Lock the handle in the “up: position and tip the oor
machine back.
• If you’re changing the apron, give the brush a quick ip
counterclockwise to unlock and remove the brush.
• Remove the 3 knurled thumb nuts that hold the apron to
the machine chassis.
• Remove the existing apron.
• Align the new apron.
• Re-install the three bolts and tighten.
• Install a brush that is 2” smaller than the apron.
3.3 Attach the Power Cord
The triple-wire grounded power cord has been factory-
installed into the handle tube. A exible rubber cable
connector (11) is used to secure the plug-in connections.
The oor machine ships with this connector mounted on the
cord coming out of the handle (10). Stretch the connector
and slip the male connector (9) (coming out of the motor
housing) through the connector hole and then into the
female connector.

• Repair or replace damaged skirts and dumpers.
• Use air pressure or vacuum to remove dust and debris
from the motor vents.
• Report problems and repair promptly.
6.2 Scrubbing Brush Filaments
Scrubbing brushes are available with a range of bristle types - from the softest for
high-gloss oors, to the most aggressive for heavy soils. Match your brush to the
oor as you match a detergent with the soils.
Nylon isusedforgeneralscrubbing.Becausenylonsoftenswhen
wet,itisgreatforgentlescrubbing,moppingandpolishingof
decorativeoors.Nylonwillnotscratchtile,terrazzoorcoated
surfaces.Nylonbrushesaredurableandlonglasting.
Polypropyleneisacommonchoiceforgeneralpurpose
scrubbingandworkswellonbothconcreteandoncoatedoors.
Polypropylenebrushestypicallycostlessthannylon,butdonot
lastaslong.
Non-scuff poly isanerdiameter(0.015-0.018”)lamentused
forlighterdutyscrubbingconditionsandonwaxedornished
oors.
Bassineisasoft,naturalber.Theendofthebristlesplitsor
“ags”tobuildapolishingsurface.
Union mixisamixtureofbassineandtampico(anothernatural
ber).Themixtureisstifferthanbassinealoneandisusedby
moretraditionalcleanersforscrubbing.Itisoftenreplacedby
poly.
Soft abrasive bristleisa0.018”nylonlamentextrudedwitha
500gradegrit.Itisusedforgentlescrubbingandisasaggressive
asawhitescrubpad.
Daily abrasive bristleisa0.035”nylonlamentwith180grade
grit.Itisusedfordailyscrubbingofresilienttileandnished
oorsandisasaggressiveasaredscrubpad.
Stripper abrasive bristleisa0.022”nylonlamentwith120

5.0 Troubleshooting Guide
Neveroperatethisoormachinewhentheequipmentisnotperformingasexpected
orwhenanypartisvisiblydamaged.Thecauseandsolutionforsomebasicproblems
aredescribedbelow.Whenrepairisneeded,taketheequipmenttoanauthorizedrepair
servicecenter.
5.1 The Floor Machine will not Run
• Circuit breakers are tripped in the building. Check and reset.
• Equipment is unplugged. Check plug, wall and at machine base. Plug in.
• Power cord failure. Test with a working power cord. Lock the handle up and tip the
motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor and plug the motor into your working
power cord.
• IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you have
removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you are sending power
directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, the problem is in the cord of the
handle assembly. Seek authorized repair services.
• If the motor still does not spin, the problem is either in the male connection at the
motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized repair service.
• Motor sparks or smokes. Seek authorized repair service.
5.2 Electrical Shock to Operator
• Equipment wiring failure or electrical short in the machine. Seek authorized service.
• Poor grounding or no grounding. Test the outlet with a ground fault interrupter.
Retaincertiedelectriciantoinspectandrepairgrounding.NEVERclipoffthe
ground plug on your cord.
• Repeated circuit breaking. High amp draw and circuit breaking can be an electrical
or mechanical problem. Seek authorized repair service.
5.3 High Vibration
• Pads are not centered on the pad driver. Tip machine back and re-center the pad.
• Uneven wear or warp of pads, pad drivers or brushes. Replace.
• Machine chassis is damaged by dropping. Replace.
4.2 Transport
Totransportthisoormachinefromthejanitor’scloset
totheworkarea:
• Lock the handle in the “up” position. Wid the cord
around the handles and the bottom cord hook.
• Tip the machine back onto the transport wheels. Push
or pull the machine by the handle, not by the cord or
any other part of the machine. Travel carefully.

6.1 Pad Driver Construction
If you scrub or polish with a non-woven pad, use a
pad driver to connect the pad to the machine.
The brush block (3) is constructed of molded plastic,
t with shorter, stiffer, pad-holding bristles (5) or
“velcro-like” pad-holding hooks (6) and use a riser
(7) to create extra clearance between the block and
the machine apron. With this construction, use a pad
driver with block diameter 1” less than your machine
apron size.
