Pacific P-20, Operating & Maintenance Instructions

OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING!  For the safe operation of this machine follow
the instructions given in this manual and the training given
by your supervisor.  Failure to do so can result in personal
injury and/or damage to machine and property!

DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!

This machine is intended for commercial use.

PREPARATION

To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of cor-
rect voltage and properly assembled.

Your new floor machine operates in the normal side to side
motion of a conventional single disc machine.  Be prepared
before starting by removing all obstructions or other ob-
stacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper applica-
tion recommendations and procedures found on the label of
your cleaning or finish container.  IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .

WARNING!  NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!

For Scrubbing or Polishing:

Select the correct floor pad

or brush (your supplier can help you).  If in doubt, ask your
supervisor.

NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!

To properly attach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR
MACHINE, place the handle in the vertical position, then
tilt the machine back until the handle rests on the floor.
Straddle the handle, facing the motor, and grasp the brush
with the block toward you.  Place the brush or pad clutch
plate over the three lugs on the motor drive adapter.  Twist
the brush right to lock it into position.  To remove the brush,
UNPLUG THE MACHINE and follow the same procedure
as above, but by twisting the brush off with a firm jerk to
the left.  Remove the brush or pad driver when the ma-
chine is not in use.  This will help prevent brush damage
and reduce wobble problems.

OPERATION

Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded
outlet (see Safety Instructions).  Next, adjust the handle
height to a comfortable position.

Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start
the machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers.

Both hands should be placed on the handle when the ma-
chine is in operation.  The machine will glide sideways
over the floor by a slight raising and lowering of the handle.
Raise the handle slightly to go to the right.  Lower the
handle slightly to go left.  

Releasing the switch lever stops

the machine at once.

MAINTENANCE

AFTER EACH USE:  

Store the machine in a clean dry

area.  Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a clean
cloth. Remove the pad or brush and clean thoroughly.  Wrap
the machine’s electrical cord onto the handles and the cord
hook provided. CHECK the cord and plug for nicks, cuts
or damage.  Report these to your supervisor for correction.

WARNING!  Always disconnect the machine’s electri-
cal plug from the electrical outlet before performing any
service, maintenance, pad changing or inspection of the
machine.

MOTOR:  

The motor is lubricated for life under normal

use.  No oiling or greasing is necessary.  However, if the
machine is used in dusty areas or is used for spray buffing,
the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out with
compressed air or with the exhaust from a vacuum is sug-
gested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear pas-
sage of air for ventilation and prevent overheating.  If you
have any questions regarding the maintenance of your floor
machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
