PLEASE READ DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON COLORED
SHEET BEFORE USING MACHINE!
3.1 Introduction
This operating manual should be used to receive the maximum benefit from your Mambo
Surface Prep. Following these instructions will both extend the life of your machine and
reduce repair costs.
Please ensure that any user of the machine is familiar with these instructions before work
begins.
3.2 Danger while working with the machine
The Mambo Surface Prep is designed to the highest technical standards. Incorrect use can be
dangerous!
Use this machine only:
- As instructed in this operating manual.
- With the machine in perfect working order.
Disturbances that could impair safety have to be eliminated at once.
3.3 Restriction of use
The Mambo Surface Prep is exclusively for wet-cleaning and polishing of resilient and textile
floor coverings, and for grinding and milling pavement and leveling compounds in dry
environments. It should not be used for any other purpose. Sinclair Equipment Company
cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by incorrect use.

3.4 Genuine Spare Parts
Spare parts and accessories are manufactured uniquely for the Mambo Surface Prep. It must be
emphasized that parts obtained from unauthorized sources must not be used.
Sinclair Equipment Company cannot be held responsible for the performance of or any damage
arising from the use of machines in which genuine spare parts have not been used.
This is particularly important with milling discs.

need not be lubricated.
5.0 Use

Lay the machine down on the handle. Thus
the support of the discs is accessible.
-Insert safety ring
-Mount at once a disc to fix the
suction ring

the support of the discs is accessible. Put the
mounting disc on the actuation and lock it
by turning anti-clockwise.

Use:
- Mount discs or brushes as described above.
- Put the handle in working position with the
big lever (1) at the back.
- We recommend to position the hand grip to
the height of the users hip.
- Lift the handle slightly, to make sure the
machine stands horizontally.
- Keep the safety switch (2) pressed.
- Switch on the machine with one of the levers
(3) located beneath the grip.
- Release switch (2).
Note: lever can only be actuated, if the handle
is not in vertical position. This is a safety
feature! The user cannot control the machine
with the vertical handle. After switching on
the machine, the handle will move shortly to
the right.
If the transportation wheels are in lifted
position, the direction in which the machine
moves, is controlled by lifting or lowering
the grip. The more you lift or lower the
grip, the faster the machine runs to the
corresponding direction.
-Lifting the machine: machine runs to the right.
-Lowering the machine: machine runs to the left.
If you feel unsafe or cannot control the machine, just release lever (3). The machine will stop
at once. If you have carried out some training, you will be able to operate the machine with
one hand.
If the transportation wheels are lowered to the floor, the machine is stabilized and easier to
control.
-Lifting and lowering of the handle is no more necessary.
-The machine has to be in a level position. The wheels have to be fixed accordingly.
By loosening the release handle (5), the wheels can be put in upper and lowered position.
Speed control:
Adjust the speed of the discs with switch (4).
Turning clock-wise increases the speed,
turning anti-clockwise decreases the speed.
The optimal speed is dependent on the disc
used and the sub-floor.
6

The table below is meant as a guiding principle for the user. Always test the optimum speed in
each case. Always start at low speed and then increase the speed.
Speed Use Recommended Disc
160–200 Grinding screed and leveling compounds Sand paper
