PREPARATION
Topreparethe machine foroperation,make sureitis of
correct voltage and properly assembled. If in doubt,
askyoursupervisor.
Your new floor machine operates in a straight-line for-
wardmotion,rather than thenormalside tosidemotion
ofa conventional singledisc machine. Beprepared by
having your floor area cleared and ready for the fast
actionof a burnisher.
Preparethefloorareabysweeping,dusting or mopping
as needed. Check the proper application recommen-
dationsandproceduresfoundon the labelofyourfinish
container. IFIN DOUBT,CALLYOUR SUPERVISOR.
WARNING! NEVERUSETHISMACHINEWITHFLAM-
MABLEOREXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Burnishing: Select the correct clean floor pad
(yoursuppliercanhelpyou).The lighter color floorpads
(bufforwhite) arenormallyused fortheburnishing pro-
cedure.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOORPADINSTALLED!
It is very important to select clean, dry pads of uniform
thickness. Pads with high or low sections, or hard or
soft spots are unacceptable. Pads of open weave are
recommended;because closeweaves tend to load up
fast, bog down the machines, cause circuits to over-
loadand generally givepoor results.
Tip the machine back to expose the pad driver. Re-
movethepad center lockring. Carefullycenter the pad
onto the pad driver and secure with the locking ring.
Checkfor level, centeringand flatness.
OPERATION
Set the machine upright onto the pad. Plug the
machine’spower cableinto aproperly grounded outlet
(seeSafetyInstructions). Next,releasethehandlelock-
ing knob and allow the handle to lower into a comfort-
ableposition.Thensecurethehandlelockingknob. This
will allow the operator to easily control the brush pres-
sure.
Depressthe handleslightly to elevate the padfrom the
floor. This is toavoid burning theflooron initialstartup,
before the operator is ready to move forward. Pull out
on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start the
machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers.
Whenyou’rereadyto move forward, lowerthemachine
headandpadtothefloorandproceedforwardinastraight
line, at a steady pace.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE: Store the machine in a clean dry
area. Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a
cleancloth.Removethepadandcleanthoroughly. Wrap
the machine’s electrical cord onto the handles and the
cordhookprovided.CHECKthecordandplugfornicks,
cuts or damage. Report these to your supervisor for
correction.
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine’s
electrical plug from the electrical outlet before
performing any service, maintenance, pad chang-
ing or inspection of the machine.
CIRCUIT BREAKER: Acircuit breaker is used to pro-
tect the motor. If the motor draws high amperage the
circuit breaker will stop the motor. The reset button is
located in the front of the switch housing. Push the
resetbutton to restartthemotor. Ifthe motor continues
to stop, clean or change the floor pad. If this does not
correctthe problemconsult an authorized service per-
son.
MOTOR: The motor is lubricated for life under normal
use. Nooilingorgreasingis necessary. However,if the
machine is used in dusty areas the motor should be
cleaned.Blowing themotor outwith compressedair or
withthe exhaust froma vacuum issuggested. Keeping
the motor clean will allow the clear passage of air for
ventilationandpreventoverheating.
BELT TENSION: Proper belt tension is important for
smooth operation and belt life. Check the belt tension
andhave nomore thana 1/8-inchdeflection. If adjust-
ment is needed, loosen the four (4) motor mounting
bolts. Then tip the machine back onto its transport
wheels, slide the motor back and tighten the bolts.
