Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local code and ordinances. Do not remove ground pin; if missing,
replace plug before use.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or ser vice person if you are
in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated
in Figures 2 and 3 may be used~to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be
installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, tab or the like
extending from the adapter must be c onnected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or GreenYellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing
a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
DO NOT use extension cords.

ECO-15/ECO-17 UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
The ECO-15 & ECO-17 ship in two boxes and will
need to be assembled before use. Follow these
directions to assemble the two pieces.
1. Set the handle assembly in place and bolt it in using
the two included bolts. Thread the bolts in by hand as
far as you can in order to prevent stripping of the
threads in the handle. Tighten with 5/16” allen key.
Tools Needed:
• 5/16” allen hex key
• Needle nose pliers
2. Remove both C-clips from the axle using needle nose
pliers. Slide the wheels onto the axle. Use needle nose
pliers to secure wheels with the C-clips.
3. Connect the hoses for solution spray and gravity feed
as shown above.
5. Make sure all bolts are tightened. Your Orbital Floor
Machine is now ready to operate.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE FIRST USE
The new (red bristle) pad-driver may require some
surface preparation before it will uniformly hold to
thin pads.
If necessary, run the bare pad-driver on smooth
concrete for several minutes, checking periodically
that the tallest bristles are then worn down a bit
(~1/8”). This procedure will also atten the tips of
the longest third of the bristles to better grip the
pad tufts (see illustration to the right).
This procedure does not apply to the black
“Mytee-Lok” pad driver.
4. Connect the power cord from the base of the handle to
th e moto r.
