SPECIAL ATTENTION
•Start curing only after the coating is fully dried for waterbased products (use moisture
meter)
•Make a cure plan (don’t miss a spot / use the right overlap in curing with the
Floormate to be sure that everything is cured)
•Keep the Floormate moving at all times to prevent burning marks (especially
for wood and resilient) use the heatshield
•The Floormate operates from 0°C (= 32°F), not below. The UV lamp system is
computer regulated, when the UV lamp is too cold, the system tries 10 times every
12 seconds to start the UV lamp. The operator only pushes the button start once, the
display LED + text will tell the status. This means it knows when to cool down a hot
lamp, and when to heat up a cold lamp.
•After a night in freezing temperatures the Floormate has to be in a warm building for
approx. 1 hour for acclimation
•Connectors of the supplied power cable press firmly and lock for a good
connection
•The UV lamp needs about 3 minutes to cool down (when shutting down completely)
before switching back on. Always unplug the power cord (and putting plug back)
before switching back on.
•Speed should be based on recommendation of the coating manufacturer.
Use in general: waterbased products between 5 and 11 meter (= 16,5 and 33 feet) per
minute, full solids about 4-5 meter (= 13-16,5 feet) per minute.
•In case of issues due to power irregularity
▪the UV lamp is flickering
▪and/or the machine does not drive (engine not running)
