• Propane tanks should be removed &
stored in a protected off site area.
cleaning the unit, check for possible loose nuts
and bolts.
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
T urnthe 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
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.
T achometer: 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.
Parts And Instruction Manual
28” Mirage Propane Burnisher
Page 4
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.
