Version 6/2000 Operating instructions for a SL1600 Dominator
Please find the following correct procedure for the operation of the Polivac SL1600
Dominator or a SL2000 Stingray.
1. Ensure that the power is on, and that extension cords are not used.
2 The handle height must be adjusted to suit individual operators body proportions.
Adjust the ergo handle, to the correct height by placing the foot or hand on the
ratchet lever then positioning the handle. The correct height of the handle is
around the groin region.
3 When the handle is set at the correct height, the arms should grip the handle in a
comfortable, but loose manner (if your arms are bent at the elbows this is an
indication that you are applying too much effort to control the machine) Re-adjust
the handle.
4 Before starting the motor, you must tilt the machine back by gently pressing down
on the handle. Ensure the pad is clearly off the floor, doing this reduces the
starting torque load on the motor.
5 To start the machine, first you must depress the red safety button that is next to
the hand trigger, then grasp either of the red triggers, and the motor will engage
the pad. Do not force the trigger without first releasing the safety button as this
will damage the safety release in the trigger mechanism. Once the machine is on,
the safety button can be released.
6 Once the motor has started, engage the pad on the floor and begin walking
behind the machine.
7 Always work away from the cord and in a straight-line direction (do not try to
swing machine side to side) then complete a U-turn and continue walking straight.
8 Generally, use the left hand for steering and guiding the machine.
9 Always use ultra-high speed Polish on the floor.
10 Walk at a comfortable walking speed.
11 Never use the machine on the same spot for an extended period, as being a high
speed machine the combination of friction and heat could strip or damage the
floor unintentionally.
12 The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
13 Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
14 If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or it’s service
agent or a similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard.
