Never try to replace parts or repair equipment
with machine running.
Turn the gas off at the tank to kill the engine.
Remove the LPG tank and store it in an
approved area when not in use. A “NO
SMOKING” sign should be permanently
displayed at the storage area.
Always vent an over-full bottle using the tank’s
bleed valve, out of doors away from all closed
places and away from any fire or flame producing
device. Vent until the white vapor turns clear.
Keep all objects clear of the exhaust system
during and after operation.

Do not use “T” handle when attempting to tilt
back machine for service or cleaning. The
“T” handle is designed for control during
operation only.
Do not use excessive vertical pressure.
I. PREPARATION
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed:
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the
following: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions on p4).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation:
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark, add
just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil level
up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow the
guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual. Check
for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LPG tank and
all LPG fuel lines for leaks:
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. However, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should be
soap tested. All LPG lines must be pressurized
and every inch of line and connections must be
sprayed. If you find a leak, make the proper
repairs before operating the machine.
NOTE: The connection and disconnection of
the LPG tank must be done in a well ventilated
area with NO source of ignition within 10 feet
(3 meters) from the point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LPG tank! The LPG tank
is designed to hold just 20 pounds of propane.
Make sure to weigh the tank as it is being
filled. The gross weight of a full tank should
not exceed 48 pounds. If while operating the
machine, you notice frost forming on the LPG
lines or the regulator, your tank has been over
filled. If you continue to operate the machine
in this condition, damage will occur. The
excess propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done in a
safe location outside the building. In some
cases the regulator must defrost before
restarting the engine.
D. Connecting the high pressure hose to the
LPG Tank:
Make sure the couplers are in line and screwed
together hand tight. If this is not done properly,
fuel will not pass through to the regulator. Never
complete the connection of the tanks to the
machine by using a wrench. Always do it by
hand. Listen for the rush of fuel to the lock-out
device when you open the tank valve. If you
hear this, it indicates a good connection has
been made at the tank.
NEVER CHANGE OR ALTER THE PROPANE
CONTROL EQUIPMENT!
E. Install fresh pads or brushes before every job:
To install a fresh pad, set the machine down in
the rear. Unscrew and remove the pad-centering
ring. Remove the old pad and center the new
pad onto the pad driver. Reinstall the padcentering ring. Never “flip” a pad. Keep the
same side down throughout the life of the pad.
Even after a pad is cleaned, you can tell the
down side by the centering ring indentation.
This practice will increase the pad life and help
maintain a properly functioning pad driver.
NEVER TILT A MACHINE ON ITS SIDE!
II. STARTING THE ENGINE
A. Open propane (LPG) tank valve (counter
clockwise).
B. Set throttle control at idle.
C. Battery start –turn key to the start position &
move throttle toward fast position. If engine
does not start, release key and return to step “B”.
D. Electric start – push “Start” button and move
throttle toward fast position until engine
starts. Starter should not be engaged for
more than 10 seconds at a time.
• When a propane tank is overfilled it may
temporarily cause the fuel regulator to
malfunction. Remove the tank to a well
ventilated location. Release some gas until
the cloud disappears and escaping gas is
“clear”. Reinstall tank.
• All machines are equipped with tamper
proof fuel systems. If a fuel problem
exists, contact an authorized service
center.

PG. 4 THE ANSWER
• Propane tanks should be removed &
stored in a protected off site area.
III. OPERATION
Provide and use ear protection during
operation.
Never let an untrained person operate or
perform repairs on the machine. They may hurt
themselves, damage the floor or the
equipment.
Engine speed not to exceed 3400 RPM.
This machine is not suitable for picking up
hazardous dust.
Do not use on surfaces with a gradient
exceeding 2%.
IV. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the propane tank valve clockwise to a closed
position and turn the key OFF.
NOTE: The exhaust system will be very hot and
takes several minutes to cool, so keep yourself
and all materials clear.
V. PROCEDURES
Follow machine (straight ahead) at moderate
walking speed. Keep moving.
• Do not operate the machine in one location
for more than a few seconds — it will
damage — “burn” the finish.
• When operation is completed remove tank
and store in a secure, protected off site
(preferably outdoor) location.
• Do not use for scrubbing operations.
• Never tilt back machine to maintenance
position while engine is running.
• Never reach under protective shroud when
engine is running.
VI. MAINTENANCE
A. Machine & engine maintenance
1. Refer to engine manufacturer’s owners
manual and comply completely with the
instructions. Change the oil and filter according
to the Engine Owners Manual.
2. Keep a good service log on each machine
with the date, hour meter reading, type(s) of
service performed and the name of the person
who performed them.
3. Clean the entire unit after each use. When
cleaning the unit, check for possible loose nuts
and bolts.
B. Engine maintenance meter
This multi-function meter acts as a preventive
maintenance tool, which benefits you with
increased fuel economy, less down-time and
longer engine life.
The meter’s displays are:
Hour Meter: Displays total run hours when
machine is off.
Tachometer: Indicates engine RPM during
operation.
Service Alert: The display flashes to alert you to
lube and change the oil at 25 hour intervals. The
service alert only flashes during operation and it
warns you to change the oil for only two hours.
After the two hours is reached, the alert will
automatically reset to the next 25 hour interval.
Therefore, it is recommended that a separate
maintenance log be kept to track oil changes.
Remember that being safe is a full-time, every
day job. Follow all information posted on the
machine and the LPG tank.
Never allow anyone to operate this machine
who has not read or cannot understand the
given instructions.
C. Troubleshooting the electrical system
1. Check all wire connections for obvious
problems. Remove LPG tank, then remove
battery box cover. Check all connections visibly
and physically. If any “loose”, damaged or
unconnected wires are noticed, replace or
repair as needed.
2. Check the battery posts and wires. Always
wear a face shield, safety glasses and
protective clothing when working around a
battery! The gases can be explosive and the
acid is highly corrosive to metals, cloth and
ALL HUMAN TISSUE (skin, eyes, etc.) If the
battery post(s) are corroded, remove the wires
and clean posts and wires. Applying some axle
grease on the posts of the battery after they are
cleaned will slow down the battery corrosion
process.
If nothing obvious is noted, a more detailed
investigation is warranted. Before any such
troubleshooting begins, the following things
should be done:
a. Replace propane LPG tank with one from
a machine that runs.
Page 5
THE ANSWER PG. 5
b. Charge the battery or provide an absolute
source of 12 volt DC power capable of 50
amperes total output. (A pair of good
jumper cables from your car or truck battery
will suffice.) Equip yourself with an
inexpensive 12 volt test light.
c. If the trouble seems to be in the electrical
control equipment, you may wish to
disconnect the starter from the system so
as to check the system without spinning
the engine.
d. Battery rundown. A common problem
is letting the battery run down. What
usually happens is that it takes the crew a
few jobs to get used to the whole system,
so the machine is stopped and started
quite often. Key left in on position, when
engine is turned off, will result in battery
running down – dying.
D. Belt Inspection & Replacement
Inspection
• Fold T-Handle to forward position
• Tilt machine back on rear of body & handle
• If belt is worn, cracked or shredding, belt
needs to be replaced.
Replacement
• Place 3/4" wrench on end of the shaft on the
top of the buffer body.
• Turn pad driver counter-clockwise to
remove.
• Take belt off by turning 3/4" wrench on shaft
and removing belt from pad driver pulley
and engine crank pulley.
• Check pad driver pulley & engine crank
pulley for correct alignment.
• Install new belt on engine crank pulley &
pad driver pulley, using 3/4" wrench.
• Install belt on tension pulley
• Install pad drive onto shaft, and return
buffer to operating position.
E. Adjusting Pad Pressure
The pad pressure may be adjusted by moving
the wheels:
• Forward to reduce weight on the buffer pad
or
• Backward to increase the weight
This adjustment may be required to adjust to
different floor finishes or to the weight variance
of aluminum or steel propane tanks.

b. Charge the battery or provide an absolute
source of 12 volt DC power capable of 50
amperes total output. (A pair of good
jumper cables from your car or truck battery
will suffice.) Equip yourself with an
inexpensive 12 volt test light.
c. If the trouble seems to be in the electrical
control equipment, you may wish to
disconnect the starter from the system so
as to check the system without spinning
the engine.
d. Battery rundown. A common problem
is letting the battery run down. What
usually happens is that it takes the crew a
few jobs to get used to the whole system,
so the machine is stopped and started
quite often. Key left in on position, when
engine is turned off, will result in battery
running down – dying.
D. Belt Inspection & Replacement
Inspection
• Fold T-Handle to forward position
• Tilt machine back on rear of body & handle
• If belt is worn, cracked or shredding, belt
needs to be replaced.
Replacement
• Place 3/4" wrench on end of the shaft on the
top of the buffer body.
• Turn pad driver counter-clockwise to
remove.
• Take belt off by turning 3/4" wrench on shaft
and removing belt from pad driver pulley
and engine crank pulley.
• Check pad driver pulley & engine crank
pulley for correct alignment.
• Install new belt on engine crank pulley &
pad driver pulley, using 3/4" wrench.
• Install belt on tension pulley
• Install pad drive onto shaft, and return
buffer to operating position.
E. Adjusting Pad Pressure
The pad pressure may be adjusted by moving
the wheels:
• Forward to reduce weight on the buffer pad
or
• Backward to increase the weight
This adjustment may be required to adjust to
different floor finishes or to the weight variance
of aluminum or steel propane tanks.

Do not use “T” handle when attempting to tilt
back machine for service or cleaning. The
“T” handle is designed for control during
operation only.
Do not use excessive vertical pressure.
I. PREPARATION
A. Check that the suggested maintenance
schedule has been observed:
All machines are equipped with a multi-function
maintenance meter. The functions include the
following: hour meter, service alert and tachometer.
(See Engine Maintenance Meter Instructions on p4).
B. Check the engine oil before every operation:
Make sure the machine is level when checking the
oil. Always take 2 readings of the dipstick before
adding oil. If the oil level is below the full mark, add
just enough oil to the engine to bring the oil level
up to the full mark. Never over fill. Follow the
guidelines in your Engine Owners Manual. Check
for foreign material on the dipstick.
C. Properly fill and check your LPG tank and
all LPG fuel lines for leaks:
1. Every tank has been pressure and leak
tested. However, every time a tank is filled
and/or connected to the machine it should be
soap tested. All LPG lines must be pressurized
and every inch of line and connections must be
sprayed. If you find a leak, make the proper
repairs before operating the machine.
NOTE: The connection and disconnection of
the LPG tank must be done in a well ventilated
area with NO source of ignition within 10 feet
(3 meters) from the point of connection.
2. Never over fill the LPG tank! The LPG tank
is designed to hold just 20 pounds of propane.
Make sure to weigh the tank as it is being
filled. The gross weight of a full tank should
not exceed 48 pounds. If while operating the
machine, you notice frost forming on the LPG
lines or the regulator, your tank has been over
filled. If you continue to operate the machine
in this condition, damage will occur. The
excess propane in the tank must be removed
before normal operations resume. The
bleeding of a propane tank should be done in a
safe location outside the building. In some
cases the regulator must defrost before
restarting the engine.
