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 ma-
chine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVI-
RONMENT!
This machine is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of
correct 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 obstacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper
application recommendations and procedures found on the
label of your cleaning chemical container. IF IN DOUBT,
CALL YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAM-
MABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing:
Select the correct floor pad or brush (your
supplier can help you). If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
For Bonnet Cleaning:
Attach the carpet bonnet to the
pad driver. Follow the instructions on the label of your
cleaning chemical bottle for procedural instructions.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE FLOOR
PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly attach the brush or pad driver, UNPLUG THE
FLOOR MACHINE, place the handle in the vertical posi-
tion, 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 machine is not in use. This will help prevent
brush damage and reduce wobble problems.
Then check to make sure that the solution tank valve (lo-
cated at the bottom of the solution tank) is open. The
lever should be in line with the valve when it is open. De-
press pump switch located on the front of the switch box.
Watch the spray pattern & hose direction of the sprayer
and then adjust both according to fit your application. To
adjust the spray pattern, turn the jet clockwise/counter-
clockwise. This will either widen the cone or reduce the
size of it. To adjust where the jet is spraying, bend the
hose to get it to line up where you want the spray to hit
the floor.
Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start
the machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers. Depress the pump switch (located below the in-
terlock assembly) to spray your chemical while you oper-
ate the unit. Chemical only sprays when you depress the
button and will stop spraying once you let up off the but-
ton.
Both hands should be placed on the handle when the
machine 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 cor-
rection. To empty the tank, close the valve by turning the
lever perpindicular to the valve. Then disconnect the quick
disconnect on the hose that runs from the solution tank to
the pump on the head of the machine. Make sure you are
at the location that you want to drain the tank at and then
open the valve again with the end of the hose that is com-
ing from the tank over a sink/basin. Once the tank is
empty, reconnect the quick disconnect and open the valve
again.
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine’s elec-
trical plug from the electrical outlet before perform-
ing any service, maintenance, pad changing or in-
spection 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 buff-
ing, the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out
with compressed air or with the exhaust from a vacuum is
suggested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear
passage of air for ventilation and prevent overheating. If
you have any questions regarding the maintenance of your
floor machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.

OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded
outlet (see Safety Instructions). Next, adjust the handle
height to a comfortable position.
To use the solution feed system on your unit, first fill
your solution tank with your cleaning chemical as in-
structed on your cleaning chemical label.
You may need to mix it with water depending on those
chemical instructions. The solution tank holds 4 gal.
