OPERATION / ACCESSORIES
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
FOR FLOOR MACHINES RATED
LESS THAN 150 VOLTS
WARNING: DO NO USE
GROUNDING ADAPTERS ON
FLOOR MACHINES IN CANADA.
CHECK WITH CANADIAN CODES
FOR PROPER EQUIPMENT
USAGE. IMPROPER USE OF
GROUND ADAPTORS CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE, OR BE
FATAL.
Improper connection of an equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the machine. If the plug will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 Volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in Figure 1.
A temporary adapter (Figure 2) may be used to connect
the machine to a 2 pole receptacle as shown, if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place by metal
screws.
FOR FLOOR MACHINES RATED 150-220 VOLTS:
If a machine is provided with an attachment plug cap as
shown in Figure 3, it is intended for use on a 240 Volt
circuit. No adapter is available for this cap.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRUSH AND
PAD DRIVER
This floor machine is packed, completely assembled
and ready for use after you install a brush or pad
driver.
This machine is designed to be used for many
different floor care applications. Use the correct
brush or pad for the type of job to perform. Other
accessories are available to expand floor care
capabilities. See optional accessories on Page 10)

BRUSH AND PAD DRIVER INSTALLATUION
NOTE: Disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet before installing a brush or pad
driver.
To install a brush or pad driver, leave the handle in the
upright position and tip the machine back so it rests
on its wheels and upper handle. The brush and pad
driver both attach in the same manner. Align the
cutouts on the inner ring of the brush with the tables
on the inside of the ring of the drive hub (Figure 5)
Push the brush firmly in position then turn it counter-
clockwise until it locks into place. To remove, turn
the brush clockwise until it stops, and then lift it off.
NOTE: Remove the brush or pad driver for when
storing the machine. Never store the machine standing
on brush or pad driver. This can damage the tool
bristles.
NOTE: Disconnect power cord from the electrical
outlet before installing or removing brush, pad or pad
driver.
HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS
The handle can be adjusted to any desired work
position by simply pushing up the handle lock
(Figure 5). Move the handle to the desired position
then firmly push down on the handle lock which will
lock the handle in position. NEVER operate the
machine with the handle unlocked.
HANDLE CAM LOCK ADJUSTMENT
With the handle cam lock in the “UP” position (un
locked), tighten the adjusting nuts until there is a
slight drag when the handle is raised or lowered. The
tube should be locked securely when the handle lock
is pressed downward (Figure 6).

GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION
ŸThis floor machine is a very sensitive, powerful
unit. When in operation it should be guided
gradually and smoothly without sudden or rough
motions. Practice with your machine on a
smooth surface until you gain operating
experience.
ŸFor ease of operation, always keep the brush or
pad surface level, balanced, and flat on the floor
at all times.
ŸAlways adjust the operating handle to a
comfortable height at which the brush or pad
surface is balanced before starting the machine.
See Handle Adjustments on page 4.
ŸYour floor machine will operate differently on
different surfaces. For example, there will be
much more resistance when the machine is used
with a brush on carpeted surfaces, than when it is
used with a pad on a smooth floor. The operator
should be prepared to adjust for these
differences.
ŸBEGIN OPERATING THE FLOOR MACHINE
WITH THE BRUSH OR PAD SURFACE
LEVEL, BALANCED, AND FLAT ON THE
FLOOR.
ŸTo move the machine to the right, slowly apply
slight upward pressure on the handle.
ŸTo move the machine left, slowly apply slight
downward pressure on the handle.
ŸTo move the machine forwards or back, keep the
brush or pad flat on the floor and push or pull the
machine in the desired directions.
CLEANUP AND STORAGE
After being used, your floor machine can be wiped
clean with a soft, damp cloth and should be stored
in a clean dry place.
NEVER store with your machine standing on the
brush or pad driver. This can alter the bend of the
bristles and cause the machine to wobble.+
DO NOT LET THE MACHINE REST ON THE
PAD OR BRUSH FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME. This may alter the shape of
the pad or brush which may cause the machine to
wobble.
CORD STORAGE
When not in use, loosely wind the power cord
around the cord storage hook on the handle shaft
and both of the handle grips as shown.
This 175/300 RPM 2-Speed floor machine is
designed for stripping, scrubbing and shampooing
at 175 RPM or for buffing at 300 RPM. A toggle
switch on the left side of the switch box selects the
brush speed. DO NOT operate this floor machine
for buffing at low speed. It will not do an effective
job and tends to overload the motor.
