“Gloss Boss” Burnisher GB-1090F (UHS20F)
Operation & Care Instructions
This burnisher is a high quality, precision made product. All parts used in the manufacturing of this
burnisher have passed rigid quality control standards prior to assembly,and an "each unit" final inspection
prior to packaging is your assurance of proper assembly. This burnisher was protectively packed to
prevent possible damage in transit. Should damage occur, please notify the transporting carrier immedi-
ately for loss and/or claim.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
GROUNDING:
This burnisher must be grounded while in use to protect the opera-
tor from electric shock. The burnisher is equipped with an approved
three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)
conductorin thecord isthe groundingwire. Never connectthe green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150
volts, it has a plug like that shown in
Figure A.
If it is for use on 150 to 250 volts, it has a
plug like that shown in Figure D.
An adapter (Figures B&C) is available for connecting Figure A plugs
to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear,lug etc.,must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as shown in Figure D.
Adapter shown in Figure B & C is not for use in Canada.
MOTOR:
This burnisher is powered by a 1-1/2 HP AC motor and will operate
on a 115VAC 60HZ only. Be sure your power supply agrees with the
voltage markedon the nameplates. Avoltagedecrease ofmore than
10% will cause the motor to slow down, thus increasing the current
draw and opening the circuit breaker.
EXTENSION CORDS:
Burnishers that have 3 wire cords requiring grounding must only be
used with extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart
below:

ABOUT THE MACHINE
TO ASSEMBLE:
This burnisher is completely assembled. Just attach the appropriate
pad and the burnisher is ready to operate.
TO ADJUST HANDLE:
This burnisher is packaged with the handle in the folded position.
Raise the handle to its operating position and LOCK by tightening the
knob located at the hinged section of the handle.
TO ATTACH PAD:
1. With handle locked in the upright position, unplug machine and
tilt burnisher back on the handle until the underside is fully
exposed.
2. Remove the plastic pad lock by turning clockwise.
3. Remove the center scored circle from the pad.
4. Place pad on drive brush. Be sure pad is properly centered.
5. Replace the plastic lock nut by engaging the threads and rotate
counter-clockwise until right below pad surface.
CAUTION: Do not use with pads less than 3/4”thick.
TO START:
With the power cable plugged into a proper outlet, tilt the burnisher
back, raising the pad off the floor and squeeze the switch bar
beneath the handle grips. When the motor has reached full speed
(1-2 seconds), lower the burnisher and allow the pad to make prop-
er contact with floor.
TO OPERATE:
For best result,use a clean pad and change frequently as pad loads
up. A motor overload could result from a dirty, loaded pad. If the
built-in circuit breaker trips, wait five (5) seconds, then depress but-
ton on the side of the switchbox. Change the pad.
Operate the burnisher in a straight-line path. Avoid continuous oper-
ation in one spot, as such operation may damage the floor.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
This burnisher will afford you may years of trouble-free service
provided it is given proper care. Throwing,dropping bumping across
the thresholds and other misuse may result in a damaged unit and
invalidate the warranty. When storing your burnisher, always remove
the pad. Pads can be cleaned by washing in warm water with mild
detergent, rinsing, and hung up to dry.
It is not necessary to lubricate this burnisher. All bearings have been
pre-lubricated and permanently sealed at the factory.
