4.0 Troubleshooting

Never operate this floor machine when the equipment is not performing as 
expected or when any part is visibly damaged. The cause and solution for 
some basic problems are described below.  When repair is needed, take 
the equipment to an authorized repair service center. 

4.1 Floor machine will not run

-

Circuit breaker tripped in building. 

Check and reset.

-

Equipment unplugged. 

Check plug at wall and at machine base. 

Plug in.

Power cord failure. 

Test with a working power cord. Lock the 

handle up and tip the motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor 
and plug the motor into your working power cord. 
IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you 
have removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you 
are sending power directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, 
the problem is in the cord or the handle assembly. Seek 
authorized repair service.
If the motor still does not spin, the problem is either in the male 
connection at the motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized 
repair service. 

-

Motor sparks or smokes. 

Seek authorized repair service.

4.2 Electrical shock to operator

-

Equipment wiring failure or electrical short in the machine. 

Seek 

authorized service. 

-

Poor grounding or no grounding. 

Test the outlet with a ground fault 

interrupter. Retain a certified electrician to inspect and repair 
grounding. NEVER clip off the ground plug on your cord.

-

Repeated circuit breaking. 

High amp draw and circuit breaking can 

be an electrical or mechanical problem. Seek authorized repair 
service. 

4.3 High Vibration

-

Pad not centered. 

Tip machine back and re-center the pad.

-

Unevenly wear or warp to pad or brushes. 

Replace.
