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 High-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 High-Speed 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 number on the tag (see right) matched the serial
number stamped on the chassis.
You will need 7/16” wrenches to complete the
assembly:
1. Remove the handle and mounting hardware from
the carton. Bolts, nuts, washers and the locking
lever 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.”
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
grade grit. It is used for aggressive scrubbing and light stripping
of resilient oors, terrazzo and concrete. It is as aggressive as a
blue scrub pad.
Heavy-duty stripper abrasive bristle is a 0.050” nylon
lament with 80 grade grit. It is used for very aggressive
scrubbing and stripping of concrete, brick and quarry le. It is
as aggressive as a black scrub / strip pad.

3.0 Assembly Instructions Continued
3.2 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.
Now, plug the end of the 50-foot cord into a grounded
power outlet. Squeeze the triggers on the handle and check
for power to the motor.
3.3 Brush or Pad Driver Installation
A brush or pad driver mounts onto your oor machine with
a “B” style Universal clutch plate.
Unplug the oor machine. Lock the machine handle in
the “up” position and tip the oor machine back onto the
handle.
Slide the brush or pad driver clutch plate (12) over the
drive plug (13).
Give the brush a quick counter-clockwise spin to lock the
brush onto the drive plug.
Now, lower the machine back onto the brush.
You’re ready to go to work.
6.0 Brush Construction
Your new oor machine provides reliable, efcient,
safe power to your scrubbing brush. To get the best
results, you need to use a brush of the best design and
construction.
Your oor machine is built with a “B” style drive
plug (1). The height and width of the ears on the plug
will match a “B” style or “Universal” clutch plate
(2) mounted on the brush block.
The brush block (3) is constructed of molded plastic
or this plywood. Use a brush with a block diameter 2”
less than your machine apron size.
The bristle material (4) that actually does the
scrubbing is typically 1-1/2” to 2” long. Holes are
drilled in the block and bundles of bristles are folded
in half, forced into the hole and stapled in place
(staple-set).
When the bristles wear down to less than 1/2” long,
they have little exibility and it’s time to replace.
Bristle materials are described on page 11.
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.

4.0 Operating Tips
• For indoor use only. Sweep abrasive soils before scrubbing.
• While the brush or pad driver is spinning, keep the oor
machine moving to avoid “donut” burns on the oor.
To Start Operation:
• Unlock the handle by raising the locking lever.
• Lower the handle to a comfortable position, typically waist
height.
• Re-lock the handle by pushing the lever down. NEVER
OPERATE THE MACHINE WITH THE HANDLE
UNLOCKED.
• This oor machine is a high torque motor. Hold the
machine rmly with both hands when starting up.
• Push the red safety interlock switch forward to unlock the
dual triggers.
• Squeeze the dual triggers to release power to the motor.
Once power is on, either trigger will keep power to the
motor.
• To stop the oor machine release both triggers.
• The spinning brush helps move the oor machine. (Lift the
handle slightly to work to the right. Push the handle down
slightly to work to the left.)
4.1 To Store your Machine
• Lock the handle in the “up” position. Tilt the machine back
and remove the pad driver or brush.
• Wind the cord around the handles and the bottom cord
hook.
• Wash brushes or pads and hang to dry. Never store
machine standing on the brush.
• Inspect and maintain equipment on a regular schedule for
best results.
• Check and clean pads after each operation. Remove soil
and chemical buildup. Replace worn or damaged pads.
• Check the triggers and switches for proper operation.
• 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.
4.0 Operating Tips Continued
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.
5.0 Troubleshooting
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 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 service.
• 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 to pad or brushes. Replace.
• Machine chassis is damaged by dropping. Replace.
