Safe O erating Practices

SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES (continued)
Propane Powered Floor Burnishers are designed and manufactured for high-speed commercial floor buffing only.
These machines are designed to buff most modern types of floors including composition tile, stone, marble,
terrazzo, and resilient floor covering using floor coatings designed for high-speed buffing.
Even though NFPA 58 8-4.5 says ...“these machines shall be permitted to be used in buildings frequented by the
public, including the times when such buildings are occupied by the public”, Nilfisk-Advance suggests that the
machines be operated when occupancy of a given work area is at a minimum.
These machines should not be used:
• in nursing homes, hospitals, day care centers etc.
• by unqualified or untrained personnel.
• unless properly maintained and adjusted.
• on areas with obstructions such as thresholds, floor outlet boxes, etc.
• in areas where loose tile or objects are present.
• in rooms without proper ventilation.
These machines should not be left running unattended.
These Propane Powered Burnishers are designed with the burnishing head offset to the right side to make it easier
to burnish the floor close to the edge. It is recommended to start burnishing on the right side of the isle, turn and
come back down the isle in the opposite direction overlapping the previous path slightly. Continue this pattern until
the floor area to be burnished has been covered with the last pass being on the right side of the machine. The
forward speed is generally at a normal walking speed.
CAUTION: Do not allow the burnisher to o erate without moving the machine. It may burn the floor and
could damage the floor covering.

I. PROPANE MACHINE SAFETY
A. Pur ose
The accepted demand for and use of propane powered burnishers underscores the need for responsible manufacturers and
users to stress the importance of safety. This manual is designed to provide the information you need to ensure proper and
safe use of propane powered burnishers.
In addition, we recommend operators of propane powered burnishers complete a program of training and certification on
the safe operation of this equipment.
B. Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders
Propane cylinders should only be filled by an authorized propane dealer. When not in use, they should always be stored
outside in an upright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel mesh storage cabinet. This cabinet may be located next to the
building but with at least five feet of space between the cabinet and the nearest building opening (door or window).
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate authority
on safe propane use. A copy of this publication is available through the National Fire Protection Association in Quincy,
Massachusetts (1-800-334-3555).
C. Safety in Engineering
Nilfisk-Advance engineers and manufactures machines utilizing U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories), CE, and C.G.A. (Canadian
Gas Association) approved components where possible. When a tag or tags bearing the U.L. and/or C.G.A. insignia is/are
affixed to the machine, it indicates that the entire machine has been researched, tested, and is listed by one or both
organizations as having met all of their safety criteria.
In some cases, the tag will be affixed to a particular component. This means that only the component is listed. Component
recognition for the following parts is important: fuel cylinders, couplings, regulators, and fuel lines. We strongly recommend
that you use only machines meeting the above minimum requirements.
Even though the Kent propane powered burnishers meet the O.S.H.A. Time Weighted Average (TWA) standard for noise,
hearing protection is supplied with each machine and must be worn.
D. Use and Care
Your Kent propane powered burnisher is packaged with a detailed Operator's Manual. Safety dictates that before using any
new equipment operators read and understand the Operator's Manual. We strongly recommend this practice.
E. Canadian Safety Regulations
1. "A sign indicating "NO SMOKING" shall be permanently displayed at the storage area. The sign shall be in accordance
with the sign required in Clause 10.12.3 of CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91, Propane Installation Code."
2. "When the cylinder is attached to the floor maintenance machine for use, the operator shall not leave the unit
unattended except for short periods of time such as rest stops, washroom or meal stops."
3. "The requirements of 1.10.1 (e) and (g) do not apply in industrial buildings."
4. "A floor maintenance machine shall only be used in buildings:
a) provided with continuous mechanical ventilation that removes the products of combustion to the outdoors of not less
than 300 CFM for each 10,000 Btu-hr input or fraction thereof;
b) provided with natural ventilation of not less than 300 CFM for each 10,000 Btu-hr input or fraction thereof, based on a
maximum of one quarter air exchange per hour for the net building volume."
5. "The owner of a floor maintenance machine shall ensure that the operator has participated in a course authorized by the
manufacturer of the unit on the safe handling of propane and the safe operation of the machine."
6. "The owner of a floor maintenance machine shall ensure that the unit is maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures in a safe operating condition and the owner shall maintain a
record of the maintenance for a period of two years."
7. "Before transporting a floor maintenance machine, the cylinder shall be securely fastened, with the system valve closed
and the cylinder shall be located in a well ventilated space."

II. MACHINE PREPARATION
A. Adding Oil
The Burnisher is shipped by overland freight with the correct amount of oil in the engine. Air freight shipments require the
machine to be shipped without oil.
The machine is also shi ed with the battery disconnected.
When filling a "dry" burnisher or changing oil, add no more than 1.5 quarts (or 1.75 quarts when the oil filter is
changed) then check the dip stick in the fill cap. Add oil if necessary but DO NOT OVERFILL! ALWAYS CHECK OIL
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE. Refer to Engine Owner's Manual.
IMPORTANT: WHEN CHECKING OIL ON KAWASAKI MODELS, REMOVE OIL FILLER CAP AND CLEAN
DIPSTICK WITH CLEAN CLOTH, THEN INSERT DIPSTICK INTO TUBE WITHOUT SCREWING IN. THEN
CHECK OIL LEVEL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS SITTING LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OIL.
B. Connecting the Battery
Connect the RED positive battery cable FIRST.
Connect the BLACK negative battery cable LAST.
C. Adjusting the Handle
The burnisher handle adjusts for comfort and optimum control. Height may be changed to suit the individual operator.
(See page 8)
D. Filling the Safety Fill Fuel Cylinder
Nilfisk-Advance uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum safety fill cylinder which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by U.L. Filling should ONLY be done by a qualified propane dealer. FILL THROUGH THE STOP
FILL VALVE ONLY. (See page 9) A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt safety fill cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please note that
D.O.T. regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
E. Installing the Safety Fill Fuel Cylinder
Align the slot in the top flange of the cylinder with the locating pin on the machine. Strap the safety fill cylinder in place by
clamping the toggle assembly to the cylinder band. Adjust the toggle assembly by screwing in or out in order to keep the
tank firmly secured. Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service valve by turning right (clockwise). HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. Make sure coupling is not cross threaded and check for leakage by noting any odors of propane immediately after
cylinder is connected. (It is sometimes easier to install if the connection to the service valve is made before strapping the
cylinder in place.)
TO REMOVE THE SAFETY FILL CYLINDER, reverse above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a well
ventilated area.
III. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
A. Starting Instructions
1. Check oil and fuel levels.
2. Check and clean engine air filter.
NEVER RUN CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR WITHOUT CLEANING OR CHANGING ENGINE DUST
FILTER. (See "Scheduled Maintenance")
3. Check carburetor air filter. Change if necessary. (see "Scheduled Maintenance")
4. Turn propane service valve counterclockwise to open.
5. Allow machine to tilt backward (pad off floor) and move the throttle to the SLOW position.
6. Engage starter by turning the key-switch to the starting position for approximately 5 seconds. If the machine fails to start,
let the ignition switch return to the run position (Do not turn off). Wait approximately 5 seconds and try again for another
5 seconds. (NOTE: Do not engage starter for more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60 second cool-down period for each 10
second start-up cycle.)
7. After engine starts, a GREEN light will flash for a 3 minute warm-up cycle of the SmartAir system. (The machine may be
operated during this warm-up period.) After the warm-up cycle the green light will remain on steady as long as the
machine is running safely.

B. O eration
After the engine has started, allow approximately 30 seconds for the engine to "warm up" then advance the throttle to
operating speed.
Engage the clutch by pulling up on the switch lever (mounted on the handle).
Lower the burnishing head to the floor while moving the machine forward slowly.
CAUTION! DO NOT RUN THE MACHINE WITHOUT MOVING THE MACHINE. IF ALLOWED TO RUN IN ONE SPOT
DAMAGE TO THE FLOOR MAY OCCUR.
To stop burnishing, push down on handle raising the burnishing head off the floor and release the clutch switch lever.
NOTE: This machine is equi ed with SmartAir emission monitoring system and catalytic muffler.
Upon starting the engine, the GREEN LED will flash for 3 minutes during a warm-up period. After that time it will be on
steady unless a warning is being signaled. If the carbon monoxide in the exhaust is approaching a hazardous level the green
light will go out and the RED LED will start flashing. When the red light goes to STEADY RED it will shut the machine down
within 1 minute.
WARNING! Catalytic mufflers require a few minutes to warm u before effectively removing harmful emissions. Make
sure of ro er ventilation during this warm-u eriod!
C. Idling and Sto ing the Machine
If for any reason the machine needs to idle for short periods (less than 3 minutes), simply raise the burnishing head and
release the clutch switch and move the throttle to the SLOW position. The SmartAir system will not allow the engine to
idle unnecessarily. After 2 minutes the GREEN LED will start flashing. In another 1 minute the engine will shut
down.
To stop the engine close the service valve on the fuel cylinder by turning it clockwise. (The engine will stop when the fuel in
the lines is used up.) After the engine sto s, turn the key switch to "OFF" osition. Failing to turn the key OFF may
drain the battery.
D. Installing/Changing Burnishing Pad
1. With engine OFF turn the machine over on the RIGHT side (the starter side). This can be accomplished easily by
pushing down on the right handle grip with some force while the machine is tilted back.
2. Remove centering device (if used) and carefully pull old pad off the velcro pad holding material.
3. CAREFULLY INSPECT THE PAD HOLDER FOR CRACKS OR DAMAGE! Re lace if necessary.
NOTE: A damaged pad holder rotating at high speeds may be an extreme hazard if it should come apart.
4. Pull center from new pad, center pad on pad holder and secure with centering device (if used) or tuck the center under
the plastic center ring.
5. Press pad onto velcro.
6. Return machine to upright position.
E. Storage
Only authorized, trained personnel should have access to propane cylinders and machines.
1. Remove ro ane fuel cylinder when not in use and store it outside in a storage cage in accordance with NFPA
Section 5 or Subsection 9.5.2 of CAN/CGA B149.2. Do not release or bleed ro ane inside of the building.
Please consult your local Fire Marshal to insure that you are in compliance with local fire codes.
2. Store machine away from objects that may fall and damage it.
3. Never store machine or fuel cylinders near an open flame or heat producing devices.
4. Make sure machine is cleaned properly before storing.
5. Never store machines with cylinders installed, or spare cylinders, in an enclosed van or trailer.
F. Trans ortation
When transporting a propane powered burnisher with the fuel cylinder installed, the cylinder should be securely fastened
with the service valve closed and the machine should be secured in the vehicle. Any propane fuel cylinders not installed on a
machine should be securely fastened to avoid movement and damage. The service valves should be closed. Never store
machines with cylinders installed, or spare cylinders, in an enclosed van or trailer.
It is a good practice to check propane cylinders for overfilling before transporting them. If overfilled, correct before loading
them in the vehicle by venting the excess propane outside in a safe area using the fixed liquid level gauge.

V. GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
A. Fuel System
The fuel system works from vacuum created by the engine running. Turning the fuel cylinder service valve ON
pressurizes the system for flow to the carburetor once the engine starts to crank.
1. Adjusting the Regulator
NOTE: The regulator and carburetor have been "factory preset" and should not require any modification.
Only Kent authorized personnel, trained and certified in propane systems, should modify or adjust the
system or its setting.
N.F.P.A. 58 8-1.4 states, "In the interest of safety, each person engaged in installing, repairing, filling, or
otherwise servicing an LP-Gas engine fuel system shall be properly trained in the necessary
procedures."
2. Engine Dust Filter
The engine dust filter should be cleaned each hour and after each use by shaking out the dust and then
rinsing with mild detergent. Squeeze out the excess water (do not wring). Allow the filter to air dry.
Failure to maintain a clean engine filter will cause the engine to overheat. Also, it may cause the
exhaust emissions to elevate to harmful levels.
3. Carburetor Air Filter
a. Loosen wing nut on top of the air cleaner cover.
b. Remove foam pre-cleaner and paper filter element.
c. Clean foam pre-cleaner using the same procedure as "2" above.
d. Clean filter seal, making sure no dust is allowed in the carburetor inlet.
e. Inspect paper element. Replace if dirty, bent or damaged.
f. Install the clean paper element, pre-cleaner, air filter cover and wing nut.
NOTE: Failure to service the carburetor air cleaner may roduce excessive carbon monoxide
emissions and cause the SmartAir™ system to shut the engine down.
4. Hose and Fuel Connections
a. Inspection
(1) Inspect hoses for abrasions and other signs of wear; replace all worn or damaged hoses.
(2) Check for gas leaks by spreading soapy water solution around all the connections while the
service valve is turned ON and the fuel system is pressurized.
b. Fixing Leaking Joints
(1) Uncouple bad joint, clean joint then apply pipe sealing compound (Loc-Tite Pipe Sealant with
Teflon or equivalent) to the clean joint.
(2) Recouple the joint finger tight plus 1/2 turn.
(3) Recheck for leaks using soa y water solution. Watch for bubbles at the joint with the
fuel cylinder service valve turned on and the fuel system ressurized.
B. Engine Maintenance
1. Cooling Fin Maintenance
a. Remove the blower housing and other cooling shrouds.
b. Clean the cooling fins as necessary using compressed air or pressure washer.
c. Reinstall all housings and shrouds.
2. Head Bolt Maintenance
a. Refer to Engine Manufacturer's "Service Manual".

3. Changing the oil
a.Run engine for 5 minutes to warm oil, then stop the engine by closing the fuel service valve, allowing the
engine to stop by itself. Turn the key "OFF". (Failing to turn the key "OFF" may run the battery down.)
NOTE: Must be running above 2150 RPM or SmartAir will shut the engine down.
b. Locate the oil drain pipe located on the right side of the machine.
c. Remove the cap by turning counterclockwise with a wrench.
CAUTION: Do not ull it off!
d. Allow oil to drain completely into the receptacle.
e. Replace the cap by turning clockwise.
f. When filling a "dry" burnisher or changing oil, add no more than 1.5 quarts or 1.75 quarts when the
oil filter is changed, then check the dip stick in the fill cap.
g. Check oil level with dip stick in oil fill cap. Add additional oil if necessary.
DO NOT OVERFILL AND NEVER RUN ENGINE LOW ON OIL!
IMPORTANT: REMOVE OIL FILLER CAP AND CLEAN DIPSTICK WITH CLEAN CLOTH, THEN
INSERT DIPSTICK INTO TUBE WITHOUT SCREWING IN. THEN CHECK OIL LEVEL. ALWAYS
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS SITTING LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OIL.
h. Replace fill cap. Hand tighten only.
To inspect the belt it is necessary to turn the machine over. The machine should be turned on its right
side. This can be easily accomplished by pushing down on the handle grip with some force while the
machine is tilted back. (If badly cracked or worn it should be replaced.)
To check for the proper tightness squeeze the belt together. The belt should depress between 1/4 and 1/2
inch.
To change belt:
1. Turn the machine over on its right side.
2. Remove the pad holder by holding the end of the shaft on the top of the machine with a 3/4
inch wrench and turn the pad holder counterclockwise.
3. Use the 3/4" wrench to turn the end of the spindle shaft on top of the machine while removing
the old belt from the spindle pulley.
4. Finish removing the belt from the engine pulley, if necessary.
5. Check engine pulley for correct alignment with the spindle pulley. Check hardware attaching
pulleys for correct tightness.
6. Install the new belt onto the engine pulley.
7. Reinstall the new belt onto the spindle pulley using the 3/4" wrench to turn the spindle
clockwise. Make sure the belt is correctly placed on the idler pulley.
