Propane Powered Burnishers
∗ Allow only qualified and trained personnel to operate equipment.
∗ Follow closely maintenance and operating instructions.
∗ Keep accurate records of maintenance and service in provided log book.
∗ Remember, routine maintenance NOW will prevent a breakdown LATER.
∗ Always check oil level before starting.
∗ Keep nuts and bolts tightened and hose connections snug.
∗ Refer to engine manufacturer's service manual or contact Nilfisk-Advance for engine repairs or
adjustments not listed in this manual.
∗ Never alter or reconstruct the fuel system. To do so may be dangerous and will void the factory
warranty.
∗ Always use U.L., C.T.C./D.O.T listed safety fill cylinders supplied by Nilfisk-Advance.
∗ Be careful not to cross thread the Rego gas line coupling at the fuel cylinder.
∗ Always store the fuel cylinder outside away from heat and direct sunlight.
∗ Never leave the machine running unattended.
∗ Always operate in a well ventilated area. (Catalytic mufflers need to warm up before they are
effective).
∗ Check pad holder for cracks each time the pad is changed.
∗ Have the machine serviced by a certified technician, including an emission check, every three
(3) months.
∗ Before attempting any service on the machine, turn the ignition switch "OFF" and remove the
key to avoid accidental start-up.
WARNING: Keep hands and feet clear of rotating pad!
WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions and warnings appearing in this operating manual or
on machine labels may result in serious injury to the person using the machine and possibly to
other persons and property
NOTE: This machine is manufactured for commercial use only.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES (continued)
Propane Powered Floor Burnishers are designed and manufactured for high-speed commercial floor buffing only.
These machines are designed to buff most modern types of floors including composition tile, stone, marble,
terrazzo, and resilient floor covering using floor coatings designed for high-speed buffing.
Even though NFPA 58 8-4.5 says ...“these machines shall be permitted to be used in buildings frequented by the
public, including the times when such buildings are occupied by the public”, Nilfisk-Advance suggests that the
machines be operated when occupancy of a given work area is at a minimum.
These machines should not be used:
• in nursing homes, hospitals, day-care centers etc.
• by unqualified or untrained personnel.
• unless properly maintained and adjusted.
• on areas with obstructions such as thresholds, floor outlet boxes, etc.
• in areas where loose tile or objects are present.
• in rooms without proper ventilation.
These machines should not be left running unattended.
These Propane Powered Burnishers are designed with the burnishing head offset to the right side to make it easier
to burnish the floor close to the edge. It is recommended to start burnishing on the right side of the isle, turn and
come back down the isle in the opposite direction overlapping the previous path slightly. Continue this pattern until
the floor area to be burnished has been covered with the last pass being on the right side of the machine. The
forward speed is generally at a normal walking speed.
CAUTION: Do not allow the burnisher to operate without moving the machine. It may burn the floor and
could damage the floor covering.

I. PROPANE MACHINE SAFETY
A. Purpose
The accepted demand for and use of propane powered burnishers underscores the need for responsible manufacturers and
users to stress the importance of safety. This manual is designed to provide the information you need to ensure proper and
safe use of propane powered burnishers.
In addition, we recommend operators of propane powered burnishers complete a program of training and certification on
the safe operation of this equipment.
B. Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders
Propane cylinders should only be filled by an authorized propane dealer. When not in use, they should always be stored
outside in an upright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel mesh storage cabinet. This cabinet may be located next to the
building but with at least five feet of space between the cabinet and the nearest building opening (door or window).
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate authority
on safe propane use. A copy of this publication is available through the National Fire Protection Association in Quincy,
Massachusetts (1-800-334-3555).
C. Safety in Engineering
Nilfisk-Advance engineers and manufactures machines utilizing U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories), CE, and C.G.A. (Canadian
Gas Association) approved components where possible. When a tag or tags bearing the U.L. and/or C.G.A. insignia is/are
affixed to the machine, it indicates that the entire machine has been researched, tested, and is listed by one or both
organizations as having met all of their safety criteria.
In some cases, the tag will be affixed to a particular component. This means that only the component is listed. Component
recognition for the following parts is important: fuel cylinders, couplings, regulators, and fuel lines. We strongly recommend
that you use only machines meeting the above minimum requirements.
Even though the Kent propane powered burnishers meet the O.S.H.A. Time Weighted Average (TWA) standard for noise,
hearing protection is supplied with each machine and must be worn.
D. Use and Care
Your Kent propane powered burnisher is packaged with a detailed Operator's Manual. Safety dictates that before using any
new equipment operators read and understand the Operator's Manual. We strongly recommend this practice.
E. Canadian Safety Regulations
1. "A sign indicating "NO SMOKING" shall be permanently displayed at the storage area. The sign shall be in accordance
with the sign required in Clause 10.12.3 of CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91, Propane Installation Code."
2. "When the cylinder is attached to the floor maintenance machine for use, the operator shall not leave the unit
unattended except for short periods of time such as rest stops, washroom or meal stops."
3. "The requirements of 1.10.1 (e) and (g) do not apply in industrial buildings."
4. "A floor maintenance machine shall only be used in buildings:
a) provided with continuous mechanical ventilation that removes the products of combustion to the outdoors of not less
than 300 CFM for each 10,000 Btu-hr input or fraction thereof;
b) provided with natural ventilation of not less than 300 CFM for each 10,000 Btu-hr input or fraction thereof, based on a
maximum of one quarter air exchange per hour for the net building volume."
5. "The owner of a floor maintenance machine shall ensure that the operator has participated in a course authorized by the
manufacturer of the unit on the safe handling of propane and the safe operation of the machine."
6. "The owner of a floor maintenance machine shall ensure that the unit is maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedures in a safe operating condition and the owner shall maintain a
record of the maintenance for a period of two years."
7. "Before transporting a floor maintenance machine, the cylinder shall be securely fastened, with the system valve closed
and the cylinder shall be located in a well ventilated space."

II. MACHINE PREPARATION
A. Adding Oil
The Burnisher is shipped by overland freight with the correct amount of oil in the engine. Air freight shipments require the
machine to be shipped without oil.
The machine is also shipped with the battery disconnected.
When filling a "dry" burnisher or changing oil, add no more than 1.5 quarts (or 1.75 quarts when the oil filter is
changed) then check the dip stick in the fill cap. Add oil if necessary but DO NOT OVERFILL! ALWAYS CHECK OIL
BEFORE USING THE MACHINE. Refer to Engine Owner's Manual.
IMPORTANT: WHEN CHECKING OIL ON KAWASAKI MODELS, REMOVE OIL FILLER CAP AND CLEAN
DIPSTICK WITH CLEAN CLOTH, THEN INSERT DIPSTICK INTO TUBE WITHOUT SCREWING IN. THEN
CHECK OIL LEVEL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS SITTING LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OIL.
B. Connecting the Battery
Connect the RED positive battery cable FIRST.
Connect the BLACK negative battery cable LAST.
C. Adjusting the Handle
The burnisher handle adjusts for comfort and optimum control. Height may be changed to suit the individual operator.
(See page 8)
D. Filling the Safety Fill Fuel Cylinder
Nilfisk-Advance uses the 20 lb. capacity aluminum safety fill cylinder which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by U.L. Filling should ONLY be done by a qualified propane dealer. FILL THROUGH THE STOP
FILL VALVE ONLY. (See page 9) A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity.
DO NOT attempt safety fill cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please note that
D.O.T. regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.
E. Installing the Safety Fill Fuel Cylinder
Align the slot in the top flange of the cylinder with the locating pin on the machine. Strap the safety fill cylinder in place by
clamping the toggle assembly to the cylinder band. Adjust the toggle assembly by screwing in or out in order to keep the
tank firmly secured. Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service valve by turning right (clockwise). HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY. Make sure coupling is not cross threaded and check for leakage by noting any odors of propane immediately after
cylinder is connected. (It is sometimes easier to install if the connection to the service valve is made before strapping the
cylinder in place.)
TO REMOVE THE SAFETY FILL CYLINDER, reverse above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a well
ventilated area.
III. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
A. Starting Instructions
1. Check oil and fuel levels.
2. Check and clean engine air filter.
NEVER RUN CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR WITHOUT CLEANING OR CHANGING ENGINE DUST
FILTER. (See "Scheduled Maintenance")
3. Check carburetor air filter. Change if necessary. (see "Scheduled Maintenance")
4. Turn propane service valve counterclockwise to open.
5. Allow machine to tilt backward (pad off floor) and move the throttle to the SLOW position.
6. Engage starter by turning the key-switch to the starting position for approximately 5 seconds. If the machine fails to start,
let the ignition switch return to the run position (Do not turn off). Wait approximately 5 seconds and try again for another
5 seconds. (NOTE: Do not engage starter for more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60 second cool-down period for each 10
second start-up cycle.)
7. After engine starts, a GREEN light will flash for a 3 minute warm-up cycle of the SmartAir system. (The machine may be
operated during this warm-up period.) After the warm-up cycle the green light will remain on steady as long as the
machine is running safely.
