Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure
Level
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operator-
ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor treatment
and floor cleaning machines for industrial use. All tests
are performed in accordance with European Machinery
Directive (98/37/EC).
zOutdoor test area consists of a flat open space free
from effects of signboards, buildings or hillsides for at
least 15m (50 ft) from the center of the test surface.
Indoor tests are conducted in a semi-anechoic or sound
deadening room.
zThe test surface is a single sheet of floor covering at
least 1 m (3.3 ft) wider and longer than the equipment
being tested. In order to not affect the sound reading,
the observer taking readings is at least 2 m (6.6 ft.)
from the equipment being tested, or standing directly
behind the operator.
zAll machines are tested while stationary and centered
on the test surface. With the traction drive in neutral
(where applicable) the test is conducted with the
machine at maximum engine or motor speed as
specified by the manufacturer.
zThe operator is located in the normal operating position
with the microphone or meter supported independent of
the machine, 1,68 m (66 in) above the test surface, 25
cm (10 in) to the right and left centerline of the
operators position, and 20 cm (8 in) to the rearmost
point of the handle, with the handle in the most forward
position.
zThe sound level meter is observed for a minimum of 5
seconds or until a stabilized reading is obtained. The
maximum repeatable sound level observed during the
test at each microphone position is recorded and
documented.
Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the Grip
Surface of Hand-Guided Machinery
Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the vibration
at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided
machines that are provided with handles in accordance
with European Machinery Directive (98/37/EC).
zThe Test area consists of a flat open floor area that

Unpacking the Machine
The machine is shipped boxed on a wooden pallet. To
unpack machine:
1. Cut and remove black bands holding the box to the
pallet.
2. Remove staples attaching the box to the platform at the
bottom edge of the box.
3. With two people, one at either end of box, lift box
straight up and off machine.
4. Remove loose
accessories from
the top of machine.
5. Cut and remove the
two sets of bands
across the top of
the machine.
6. Open the engine
cover by
unfastening the two
black latches on the
top of machine and tilting the body forward to expose
the engine compartment.
7. Cut and remove the bands between the hydraulic tank
and engine.
8. Remove all accessories on and under machine, and set
aside. Attach solution and recovery hoses to side of
machine. Remove squeegee (unattached) from palette
and set aside.
9. Using a 7/16
wrench or socket,
or adjustable
wrench, remove
the two lag screws
attaching the
central wheel block
to the pallet.
10.Move the block to
the back of the
pallet and place on
the floor, aligned to
form a ramp for the
machine.
11.Connect the
battery. Sight-
check coolant and
hydraulic levels. See page 6.
NOTE: If the machine was shipped by air freight, add
engine oil.
12.Close engine cover.
13.The Safe-Fil cylinder shipped with the machine is
empty. Attach a filled cylinder to the machine.
14.Start the machine, and pull back on the drive bar slowly
to propel the machine in reverse off the pallet.
Checking the Oil Level
Machines shipped by overland freight are shipped with the
correct amount of oil in the engine. Air freight shipments
require the machine to be shipped empty of oil and will
include a separate container of oil to fill the machine.
ALWAYS CHECK OIL BEFORE USING THE MACHINE.
USE ONLY SPECIFIED KAWASAKI BRAND OIL IN THE
MACHINE.
Make sure the machine is level when checking oil. When
filling a “dry” scrubber with oil or changing the oil, add 3.8
U.S. pints (1.8 liters) if the oil filter is replaced or 3.17 U.S.
pints (1.5 liters) if the oil filter is not changed.
Oil Level Inspection
1. Place the machine on a level surface and check the oil
level.
2. Clean the area around the dipstick before removing it.
3. Remove the
dipstick and wipe it
with a clean cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick
into the filler tube
but do not screw it
in, then check the
oil level.
5. The oil level
should be between
the “FULL” and
“ADD” marks on the dipstick.
6. If the oil level is near or below the “ADD” mark, remove
the oil filler cap and add enough engine oil to bring oil
level to the “FULL” mark.
7. If the oil level is too high, remove the excess oil
through the oil drain hose.
CAUTION: Do not fill above the “FULL” mark. Excess oil
will cause a smoking condition, and may cause the
engine to overheat.
Machine Preparation

6
Checking the Coolant Level
1. Place the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the radiator cap by turning it counterclockwise
and check the coolant level in the radiator.
3. Coolant level must be maintained to the first step
(pressure cap sealing seat) of the filler neck.
4. If the amount of coolant is insufficient, fill the radiator to
the bottom of the radiator filler neck with coolant, and
reinstall the cap by turning it clockwise.
CAUTION: For refilling, add a 1:1 mixture of coolant and
soft water. Adding water alone dilutes the coolant and
may result in corrosion of the aluminum engine parts.
The diluted coolant can attack the aluminum engine
parts. In an emergency, soft water can be added.
However, the diluted coolant must be returned to the
correct mixture ratio within a few days.
CAUTION: Soft or distilled water must be used with the
antifreeze in the cooling system. Use a 1:1 mixture of
soft water and coolant. If hard water is used in the
system, it causes scales accumulation in the water
passages, and considerably reduces the efficiency of
the cooling system.
If coolant must be added often, there is probably leakage
in the cooling system. Check the system for leaks (see
“Visual Leak Inspection” in the engine service manual).
Connecting the Battery
The machine is shipped with the battery disconnected.
1. Connect the positive (RED) battery cable FIRST.
2. Connect the negative (BLACK) battery cable LAST.
Filling the Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Amano Pioneer Eclipse uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum
Safe-Fill cylinder which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards.
These cylinders are also listed by UL. Filling should be
done ONLY by a qualified propane dealer. A properly filled
cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt Safe-Fill cylinder repair. Return the
cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary.
Please note that DOT regulations prohibit shipping of
cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
Installing the Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Place the Safe-Fill
cylinder on the
cylinder platform at
the back of the
machine. Connect the
fuel hose coupling to
the service valve by
turning to the right
(clockwise).
HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. Make sure
coupling is not cross threaded and check for leakage by
noting any propane odors immediately after cylinder is
connected. Next, connect the two ends of the tank strap to
one another and secure strap end to the velcro.
TO REMOVE THE SAFE-FILL CYLINDER, reverse the
above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a
well ventilated area.

be adjusted to limit the maximum
forward speed. To reduce the
maximum speed, loosen the
handle grip adjustment knobs and
reposition the handle grips, then
retighten the adjustment knobs.
This adjustment limits the
movement of the drive bar and
allows for more comfortable
operation at slower speeds.

How the Machine
Works
The scrub components of the
machine are:
zsolution tank
zscrub brushes or pads
zsqueegee
zvacuum fan
zrecovery tank
Chemical product and water are
mixed or dispensed into the
solution tank. From the solution
tank the cleaning solution flows
through a solution valve to the
scrub brushes or pads. The
brushes or pads distribute solution
and scrub the floor. As the
machine moves forward, the
squeegee catches the dirty
solution, which is then vacuumed
up and drawn into the recovery
tank.
The Drive Bar and Control Handles
control the direction and speed of
the machine in forward or reverse.
Push the drive bar forward to
propel the machine forward. Pull
back on the handle to propel the
machine in reverse.
Pre-Operation Checklist
Before operating the machine:
zCheck the engine oil level.
Add oil if needed. Refer to
Machine Preparation.
zCheck the engine coolant
level. Add coolant if needed.
Refer to Machine
Preparation.
zCheck the engine air filter.
Clean or replace if needed.
zCheck the Hydraulic Reservoir Sight Gauge to make
sure enough oil is in the reservoir. Refer to Hydraulic
System.
zInspect the screen over the
engine radiator and clean off
any debris or dust buildup.
zCheck under the machine for
leaks.
zCheck the squeegee for
proper deflection. Check the
squeegee blade for wear,
rounded edges, nicks, or
cuts.
zCheck the condition of the
scrubbing pads or brushes.
Make sure they are mounted
correctly to the brush driver.

Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Amano Pioneer Eclipse uses the 20 lb. Capacity Safe-Fill
cylinder that meets US DOT 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by UL. ONLY a qualified propane
dealer should fill a propane cylinder. A properly filled
cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
Installing the Safe-Fill Fuel Cylinder
Place the Safe-Fill
cylinder on the
cylinder platform at
the back of the
machine. Connect
the fuel hose coupling
to the service valve by
turning to the right
(clockwise). HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY. Make sure the coupling is not cross-
threaded and check for leakage by noting any propane
odors immediately after cylinder is connected.
NOTE: Always connect or change cylinders in a well-
ventilated area.
Safe-Fill Cylinder Head Layout
Starting the Machine
1. Complete your pre-operation check.
2. Turn propane service valve counter-clockwise to open.
NOTE: ALWAYS OPEN THE SERVICE VALVE SLOWLY
TO ALLOW PRESSURE TO EQUALIZE IN THE HOSES.
OPENING THE SERVICE VALVE TOO QUICKLY MAY
CAUSE THE FLOW CHECK VALVE TO ENGAGE,
LIMITING FUEL FLOW.
3. With the engine throttle lever in the idle position,
engage the starter by turning the keyswitch to the
starting position for approximately
5 seconds. If the
engine does not
start, release the
key switch for
10 seconds, then
try again for
another 5
seconds.
4. After the engine
has started, move the throttle forward approximately
halfway and allow the engine to warm up for 30
seconds. For optimum performance when working,
operate the machine at the full throttle position.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with the EcoSense
emission monitoring system and catalytic muffler. The
EcoSense light will NOT be illuminated as long as the
machine is running safely.
If the carbon monoxide levels exceed a pre-set service
level, the RED LED service light will start flashing. The
machine will shut down after the RED light has flashed
continuously for one minute.
WARNING! Catalytic mufflers require a few minutes to
warm up before effectively removing harmful emissions.
Make sure of proper ventilation during this warm-up
period!

Filling the Solution Tank
1. Start the machine and move to the dispenser station or
other filling site.
2. Put the throttle in the idle position and turn the unit off
by turning the key-switch off.
3. Open the solution
tank cover and fill
from a dispenser
with cleaning
solution. If hand-
mixing chemical
products, fill
approximately 80%
of the solution tank
with water. Pour
the required
amount of cleaning
chemical product
into the solution
tank fill opening.
Continue filling the
solution tank to 1
inch (25 mm)
below the bottom of the solution fill opening.
NOTE: Always read and follow manufacturers label
instructions for use and handling of chemical products.
NOTE: Floor condition, water condition, amount of soilage,
types of soilage, and pad/brush action all play an
important role in determining the type and dilution ratio
of cleaning chemical product. For specific
recommendations, contact your Amano Pioneer Eclipse
Authorized Distributor.
WARNING: Flammable materials can cause an explosion
or fire. Do not use flammable materials in tanks.
Normal Scrubbing
zPick up trash and oversized debris before scrubbing.
Pick up pieces of wire, string, etc., which could become
wrapped around the scrub brush and damage the
machine.
zPlan the scrubbing in advance. Try to arrange long runs
with minimum stopping and starting. Do an entire floor
or section at one time.
zTry to scrub as straight a path as possible. Avoid
bumping into posts or scraping the sides of the
machine. When scrubbing dead end aisles, start at the
closed end of the aisle and scrub your way out.
Overlap the scrub paths by a few inches (centimeters).
zIf you experience unacceptable scrubbing performance,
stop scrubbing and refer to Machine Troubleshooting.
1. Start the machine and drive to the area to be scrubbed.
2. Press the top of
the scrub switch to
activate the
scrubbing function.
The scrub brushes
will lower and turn
on automatically
when the machine
moves.
3. Press the top of
the vacuum
switch. The
squeegee
automatically
lowers and the
vacuum system
turns on.
4. Adjust the solution
flow to the floor as
needed.
5. Push the drive bar
forward to drive
the machine
forward and scrub
as required.
WARNING: Flammable materials or reactive metals can
cause an explosion or fire. Do not pickup.

14
Double Scrubbing
Double scrubbing is a method for removing heavy floor
accumulations. Double scrubbing is most often used
during a Scrub & Recoat procedure or on floors which are
heavily soiled due to inclement weather. Double scrubbing
is performed by making two or more passes over the area
to be cleaned with the machine.
1. First, make a pass over the area scrubbing (brushes
ON) with the squeegee up (vacuum OFF). This
dispenses the solution over the area and allows the
solution to soak on the floor.
CAUTION! Move slowly on inclines and slippery surfaces.
2. Turn ON the vacuum system. The squeegee will lower
to the floor and begin picking up dirty solution.
3. Make a final pass scrubbing with the squeegee down.
Stop Scrubbing
1. Release the drive bar.
2. Press the bottom of the scrub switch to stop scrubbing
and raise the scrub brushes.
3. Propel the machine forward to pick up any solution left
on the floor.
4. Press the bottom of the squeegee switch to stop the
vacuum and raise the squeegee.
Draining & Cleaning the Tanks
When you are finished scrubbing, the solution and
recovery tanks should be drained and cleaned. When the
recovery full light illuminates signaling a full recovery tank,
the recovery tank should be drained and cleaned. The
solution tank then can be filled again for additional
scrubbing.
1. Stop scrubbing. See Stop Scrubbing.
2. Drive the machine to the designated drain and refill
area.
3. Turn the unit off.
CAUTION! Before leaving the machine unattended or
servicing machine, stop on a level surface, and turn off
machine.
4. Remove the recovery tank
drain hose from the mounting
clip.
5. Remove the recovery tank drain
hose plug while holding the hose
up above the top of the machine,
then slowly lower the drain hose
to the floor drain or sink.
6. Check the solution tank, and empty any remaining
solution with the solution tank drain hose. Rinse the
solution tank.
7. Remove the
recovery tank lid
and demisting filter
.
8. Rinse off the
demisting filter.
9. Remove the
cleanout port from
the back of the
recovery tank.
10.Flush out the inside
of the recovery tank
with clean water.
NOTE: DO NOT use steam to clean the tank. Excessive
heat can damage the tanks and components.
NOTE: When flushing the recovery tank with clean water,
avoid getting water in the vacuum intake tube.
TIP: Remove the
vacuum hose from
the squeegee tool
and install it over
the intake tube to
cover it while
cleaning.
11.When the recovery and solution tanks have completely
drained, replace the demisting filter and recovery tank
cap. Replace the clean-out port cap. Replace the
drain hose caps and secure the drain hoses on the
mounting clips.
Operation on Inclines
Drive the machine slowly on inclines.
CAUTION! When using the machine, go slowly on inclines
and slippery surfaces.
