MACHINE OPERATION
General Information
This machine works best with dry polishing or burnishing. Use mop on restorers rather than spray buff systems to restore the shine. Spray buffing is time consuming and uses more pads because they become loaded with floor finish, which can cause overloading of the machine’s control system.
Quick Start
Connecting Battery Pack to Machine
Move the front of the machine from/to pad
changing position or operating position by grasping the handle and moving it to the desired position.
Turn on master switch (and key switch if so
equipped). Wait until you hear a click, the machine is now on. See Machine Components for more information.
Check that the battery meter is reading in the high
or green range. The machine should be put on charge if not in the high range. See Charging Instructions later in this manual.
Turn on brush switch. See Machine Components
for more information.
Twist the handle grips forward (away from you) to
activate the Pad and Drive Motors. To move backward twist the handle grips backward (toward you). See Machine Components for more information.
CAUTION: This Machine must be moving at all times when the pad is rotating or the floor may be damaged.
Transporting the Machine to Work Site
When the machine is shipped with batteries, the machine will arrive with the battery pack disconnected from the machine. Lift up on the handle on the top cover to expose the
battery pack.
Connect the cable with the Anderson connector
into the Anderson connector mounted to the machine at the rear of the battery compartment in front of the control column.
For machines shipped without batteries
See Battery Installation in the Maintenance Section
later in this manual.
NSS recommends transporting the machine to the work site with the front of the machine in the operating position and the brush switch in the off position. This will reduce the potential of damage to the Flexiwall Shield and Pad Driver when moving through stock/storage rooms and double swinging doors.
For questions and all information pertaining to this machine read the rest of this manual.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
Operator Control Column
The operator control column is located at the rear of the machine. This column has components that control various machine functions.
Drive System Control
At the top on both sides of the control column are
two (2) rubber twist grips. These grips rotate forward and backward to control the direction and speed of the machine.
They also activate the Brush Motor so it is only on
when the machine is moving. The farther the grips are rotated, the faster the machine will move.
These twist grips have a safety feature that returns
the machine to the neutral position when the handles are released.
Battery Meter The battery meter is located in the back of the control column cover and has two uses. It shows the state of charge of batteries during operation and flashes fault codes when there is a problem with the machine. The rate of charge is indicated by numbers. The
higher the number the greater the charge in the battery pack.
When there is a fault with the machine, the Battery
Meter will flash an “F” followed by a number.
See Trouble Shooting Chart for more
information.
Battery Charger
Master Switch
The master switch is located on the top right side
of the control column and it turns the machine on and off.
If the brush switch is on and the brush head is
down or the twist grips are not in the neutral position the machine will not turn on. A flashing fault code will appear on the battery meter. See the bottom of the decal on control column cover and correct the problem.
The control system will automatically turn the
machine off if it sets idle for 10 minutes. Turned off the master and brush switch and then turn the master switch back on to restart.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is located under the Master Switch
and counts the hours the brush motor is on. The hour meter is used for indicating maintenance intervals. The hour meter cannot be reset.
See maintenance section for maintenance
intervals.
Fuse Holder
The fuse holder is located under the Hour Meter. It
houses a 2 AMP fuse.
The battery charger is located on top of the battery box cover. This high efficiency battery charger is designed for
onboard operation.
Key Switch
A Key Switch is Optional and will be located above
the hour meter when installed. The key switch and master switch will both need to be used to turn the machine on and off.
MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS turn OFF all machine switches before performing any maintenance or repairs to any equipment.
Check the tension of the Drive Chain after the first 100 hrs of use and then every 90 days or 300 hours as needed. For the chain tightening instructions see the maintenance section called 90 Day Maintenance (300 Hours).
Daily Maintenance
Never leave the machine sit with a used pad installed. This can cause the pad driver to warp.
Pad Installation / Changing
Brush Switch
The brush switch is located on the left side of the
control column and it turns the brush on and off.
There is also a tilt switch in this circuit located
under the brush head that only allows the brush to be turned on when the brush head is in the operating position.
Circuit Breaker
There is one master circuit breaker located below
the brush switch on the control column.
Brush Head
The brush motor, Filter Bag and Flexiwall shield
are located at the front of the machine.
The bag connects directly to the Flexiwall shield
and has a snap that retains the rear of the bag.
There is a wide range of pads available for many different burnishing applications. Consult your local NSS authorized distributor for application recommendations. Lift the front of the machine up to the 90-degree
position to view the pad driver and pad.
Make sure that the correct pad (7/8" to 1" [22mm to
25.4mm]) X 27" [68.6 cm] is being installed.
Place the pad flat on the floor, and remove the
center hole of the pad, step on the center of the pad to compress the edges around the center hole. This allows for easier installation of the pad centering cup.
With the machine in the pad changing position,
carefully center the pad on the driver.
Caution: Pads must be installed concentric (evenly aligned) with the outside edge of the pad driver. Failure to follow these precautions will cause excessive machine vibration, a reduction in pad life and produce unsatisfactory burnishing results.
Place the pad grabber in the center hole of the
pad.
Holding the pad driver and pad, push on the pad
grabber until the spring clip has clicked twice.
Caution: Failure to install the pad grabber tightly may allow the pad to be thrown from the driver.
Daily Maintenance (continued)
Empty the filter bag daily or when it is
approximately one-half (1/2) full.
Charging Batteries
Recharge the batteries when indicated by the
Battery Meter.
Never let the batteries sit overnight after the
machine has been run for 1hr or more since last recharge.
NEVER let the electrolyte level fall below the tops
of the plates. This will damage the batteries immediately, and void the warranty.
Check charger cord for exposed wires and
damaged plugs before using.
To recharge the batteries plug the charger cord into
the charger located on top of the machine and then into an electrical outlet.
When the cord is plugged into an outlet the
machine will automatically become disabled.
Charge the batteries with the cover open when
possible to reduce heat build up in the batteries.
See charging instructions for more details.
ALWAYS wear eye protection, rubber gloves and
protective clothing to avoid contact with battery acid when working around batteries.
After charging batteries check the water level of
each battery cell and add distilled water as required to level specified by battery manufacturer.
Check and verify that all battery connections are
clean and tight.
Wipe machine down with a damp cloth. NEVER spray this machine with water or any
liquids.
ALWAYS Check the tilt switch for proper
operation. With the master switch turned off, put the brush head into the pad change position. Turn the brush switch on then the master switch on, the machine should turn on.
If the machine does not turn on and the battery
meter is flashing a one, the tilt switch has failed. DO NOT use the machine until the tilt switch has been replaced.
Opportunity Charging
Opportunity charging is charging the batteries when an opportunity presents itself, such as during breaks, and is done in addition to a full charge cycle. Opportunity charging is recommended, as this extra charging time will help raise the operating voltage of the batteries, and will help ensure maximum runtime and cycle life.
See Monthly Maintenance and Operating Battery Charger Instructions for equalizing your batteries especially if you have been opportunity charging your machine.
Weekly Maintenance (Every 25 Hrs)
Verify all daily maintenance has been performed.
Inspect the Flexiwall Shield for dents around the
outside edge and cracks in the plastic.
Check that the Brush and Retaining Band are
properly installed.
Remove dirt build up on the brush along the
bottom of the Flexiwall Shield.
A damaged Flexiwall Shield Assembly will greatly
reduce dust control capabilities of the machine.
Monthly Maintenance (Every 100 Hrs)
Verify that all daily and weekly maintenance has been performed.
Equalize your batteries (Flooded only).
The batteries should be equalized once every 30 days for maximum battery runtime and life.
To equalize the batteries:
Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).
Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.
The charger will run for 2hrs, holding the batteries
at a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
THIS STEP IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU PRACTICE OPPORTUNITY CHARGING.
90 Day Maintenance (Every 300 Hrs)
Verify that all daily, weekly and monthly maintenance has been performed.
Tighten Chain
Check the tension on the drive motor chain. If the
chain has more than ½” [12.7mm] deflection, tighten as needed.
Access to the bolts for the drive motor are on the
left side of the machine. There are two bolts on top which are accessed through the holes as shown in the picture above. There are also two bolts located below the frame. A total of four bolts.
Lubrication
Check the Battery Tray Drain Hose for liquid level
on a monthly basis.
Spilled liquids from the battery compartment area
are collected in a tray under the batteries. The tray can be drained using the hose at the right rear of the machine as shown above.
IMPORTANT: Drain all liquids into an approved
container and dispose of according to your local and federal regulations.
Inspect the machine components for wear, loose
fasteners, or damage. Pay special attention to all pivot points and moving parts.
Call an authorized NSS service center for repairs.
Lubricate the casters with an industrial grade
bearing grease. Failure to lubricate casters will cause the machine to maneuver with difficulty and premature failure of the caster will result.
Lubricate the drive wheel bearings with an
industrial grade bearing grease. The zerk fittings
y
on the bearings can be accessed from the front of the machine.
Failure to lubricate drive wheel bearings will cause
the machine to maneuver with difficulty and premature failure of the bearings will result.
Every 6 Months (Every 600 Hours)
Call your Authorized NSS Distributor / Service Station to have the following services performed.
Verify that all daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly maintenance has been performed.
Inspect Brush Motor carbon brushes for wear.
Lube the drive motor chain with a small amount of
grease using a brush. A chain spray can also be used.
NEVER use your fingers to put the lube on the
chain. Serious injury may occur.
Lubricate all moving parts as required with a small
amount of grease.
DO NOT lubricate the Gas Spring shaft, it does not
require lubrication as it is self lubricating.
Using compressed air, blow the accumulated
carbon brush dust out of the motor.
Replace carbon brush when they measure ½”
[12.7mm] or less in length.
Failure to replace carbon brushes will cause poor
machine performance and possible motor damage.
Check the condition of the batteries.
A battery may be checked using a Hydrometer to
check the specific gravity (strength) of the acid in each cell. Variations in readings occur due to the chemical reaction taking place during use.
Always check the specific gravity when the battery
is fully charged.
Replace batteries as needed.
Battery Installation:
Turn off all switches. Disconnect battery pack from
the machine.
ALWAYS wear eye protection, rubber gloves and
protective clothing to avoid contact with battery acid when installing batteries. See Battery Warnings on page 3.
Repairs performed by an unauthorized company will void the machine warranty. If
ou require assistance finding an authorized service center, contact NSS Enterprises.
Every 12 Months (Every 1200 Hours)
Call your Authorized NSS distributor / Service Station to have the following services performed. Verify that all daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly maintenance has been performed.
Inspect Drive Motor carbon brushes for wear.
Remove the side panel and top cover. There are
two bolts (one in each corner) on top of the side panel and two nuts (one in each corner) at the bottom of the cover. Note that the nuts at the bottom are not visible from the side.
The cover will still be attached to the side panel.
Move them out of the way to install the Batteries.
Batteries are heavy – ALWAYS use two people to
install batteries into machine.
Refer to wiring diagram located on the under side
of the cover. Align batteries in compartment the same as the old batteries or as shown on diagram.
Install battery cables the same as they were on the
old batteries or as shown on wiring diagram located on the under side of the cover.
NSS recommends replacing the battery cables
when replacing batteries.
Tighten bolts and hex nuts with a wrench. Install terminal boots over terminals to complete
installation.
CAUTION: Do not short across two terminals with a wrench. CAUTION: Loose or improper battery connections will cause battery or machine damage and possible personal injury.
This will require removing the drive motor from the
machine and should only be done by an authorized NSS Service Station.
Using compressed air, blow the accumulated
carbon brush dust out of the motor.
Replace carbon brush when they measure ½”
[12.7mm] or less in length.
Failure to replace carbon brushes will cause poor
machine performance and possible motor damage.
Gas Spring Service
ALWAYS secure Brush Head in the pad change position using the strap provided before attempting any maintenance or repairs to the gas spring or coil spring assemblies.
Remove the spring clip that secures the gas spring
to the machine. Then pull the gas spring off of the ball stud. There is a clip and ball stud at each end.
Place one end of the gas spring against a hard
surface and push on it. If you can compress it, it must be replaced. If you can not compress it, it is most likely OK.
Pad Pressure Adjustment
The NSS Charger 2717 DB and Charger 2022 DB is preset at the factory for medium duty applications. It can be tuned to your specific application for optimum performance.
ONLY an authorized NSS Service Station should perform this adjustment.
Tools required for Pad pressure adjustment
1) ¾ open end wrench
2) Clamp on Amp Meter
Checking the Pad Motor Amperage
First install a new pad on the pad driver. Caution:
Checking the Amps with a used pad will cause the machine to have high amps when a new pad is installed.
Lower the Pad Motor into the operating position
and open the cover over the battery compartment.
Put the clamp on AMP Meter around the red
(positive) wire coming from the battery pack to the machine as shown.
While running the machine read the amp meter.
The amp meter should be reading between 70-80 amps for the Charger 2717 DB & 50-70 amps for the Charger 2022 DB.
Pad Pressure Adjustment
It is necessary to use a clamp on AMP Meter when
adjusting the pad pressure.
There are many different manufactures and
models of AMP Meters to choose from. Two AMP Meters are shown above. The one on the left is AMPROBE Model ACDC-610 and the one on the left is AMPROBE Model ACDC-400.
If adjustment is required, follow these instructions.
It will be easier to access the lock nut and spring
guide rod assembly with the machine in the pad change position.
First loosen the lock nut on the spring guide. With
the lock nut loose, the spring guide rod assembly will be easily turned by grasping the set collar on the spring guide rod.
Turn the spring rod guide assembly ½ to 1 turn at a
time. A little adjustment goes a long way.
Thread the spring guide rod assembly out of the
ball joint to decrease the pad pressure. Thread the spring guide rod assembly into the ball joint to increase the pad pressure.
Every time an adjustment is made check the amps.
This may require a few tries to get it were it should be.
After the adjustment is made tighten the lock nut
and redo the amp test. If it has not changed the process is complete.
Fall back setting
If your machine has come totally out of adjustment, or you need to replace the Spring Rod Guide Assembly you may need to start from the beginning.
The factory starting setting for the pad pressure on
the Charger 2717 DB is 3/4 of an inch [19mm] from the set collar to the lock nut.
The factory starting setting for the pad pressure on
the Charger 2022 DB is 1/2 of an inch [12.7mm] from the set collar to the lock nut.
From this setting, proceed with the Pad Pressure
Adjusted.
Battery Replacement Notes
Entire Pack.
oIt is always recommended to replace all batteries
in the pack at the same time.
One or more batteries out of the pack. This is not
recommended. Replacing just one or two batteries out of the pack can lead to the following:
Overcharging the new, or the remaining
original, batteries.
Undercharging the new, or remaining
original, batteries.
Over discharging either the new or the
remaining original batteries.
o If you wish to only replace some of the batteries
in the pack, follow these steps for best results:
Replacement batteries must always be of the
same battery manufacturer, model and amp­hour rating, as the remaining batteries in the pack.
Never mix batteries from different
manufacturers in the same pack.
Fully charge both the new battery, and the
remaining original batteries. (specific gravity = 1.265 minimum, use a hydrometer)
Use a replacement battery that is close to the
same age as the remaining original ones.
Do not run the machine as long for about 20
cycles. For example, if you used to get 4 hrs runtime, only run it for 2.5 hrs, and then charge the batteries completely.
Opportunity charge whenever possible.Equalize after 30 days (Flooded only).The above steps will provide the best
opportunity for the new battery(s) to join the pack.
Battery Do’s and Don’ts:
a. You do not have to fully discharge the batteries
before charging. They do not have a “memory”.
b. Plug the charger in anytime the machine is not in
use.
c. NEVER let the electrolyte level fall below the tops
of the plates (flooded cell batteries). This will damage your batteries almost immediately, and void the battery warranty. They can tell if this happened.
d. NEVER refill the batteries with well or tap water
(flooded cell batteries).
e. NEVER overfill the batteries (flooded cell
batteries).
f. NEVER let the batteries sit discharged overnight
(or between shifts).
g. ALWAYS check the electrolyte level about every 3
or 4 charge/discharge cycles BEFORE CHARGING.
h. ALWAYS refill the batteries with distilled water (if
needed) AFTER CHARGING.
i. ALWAYS fully recharge the batteries after use
(until the green LED comes on).
j. ALWAYS equalize the batteries (Flooded only)
every 30 days.
k. NEVER OVER DISCHARGE! l. NEVER charge GEL batteries with the charger set
to FLOODED/AGM.
m. NEVER charge FLOODED/AGM batteries with the
charger set to GEL. EXCEPTION-CROWN AND
TROJAN AGM’S TO BE CHARGED WITH GEL SETTING.
Battery charger
The onboard battery charger supplied with this machine is capable of charging lead acid batteries from 185 to 350ah capacity. There is no need to change algorithms or settings based on battery manufacturer, or battery size.
The charger can also be set to charge flooded (wet) cell, AGM, or Gel batteries. LED’s on the charger indicate which type of battery the charger is set to charge. One setting is for Flooded and (most) AGM batteries, the other setting is only for Crown and Trojan AGM and GEL batteries.
Depending on the battery charger model, the charger can operate on 100/115/230 VAC 1ph 50/60 HZ power, and will automatically detect these input voltages. Before connecting the battery charger to power, check the label on the battery charger to verify proper input power.
Determining Your Battery Type
CAUTION: DIFFERENT BATTERY TYPES HAVE DIFFERENT CHARGING REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY YOUR BATTERY TYPE, AND SET THE CHARGER ACCORDINGLY WILL RESULT IN BATTERY DAMAGE, AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
Your machine may have been ordered with batteries installed at the NSS factory. The standard battery type, normally supplied by NSS, is the Flooded (wet) cell lead acid battery. Gel and AGM sealed batteries may also be available at customer request.
Flooded (wet) batteries can be easily identified by the removable cell caps. Removing the caps allows inspection of the liquid electrolyte (sulfuric acid) level in each cell.
AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries are sealed, maintenance free batteries. They do not have cell caps intended for removal. Look for “AGM” printed on the tops or sides of the batteries.
Gel (gelled electrolyte) batteries are also sealed, maintenance free batteries. They do not have cell caps intended for removal. Look for “GEL” printed on the tops or sides of the batteries.
Battery Charger Indicator LED’s
Your battery charger is equipped with LEDs that indicate the following: Battery Type Setting. Either of these two LEDs will
be illuminated, anytime the charger is plugged in, to signal which type(s) of batteries the charger is configured to charge. The two options available are:
oWet / AGM: When this LED is illuminated, the
charger is configured to charge either flooded (wet), or AGM batteries.
oGel Cell. When this LED is illuminated, the
charger is configured to charge Gel batteries ONLY. EXCEPTION: Crown and Trojan
AGMs are to be charged with the Gel setting.
State of Charge Indicators. Four additional LEDs
provide information about the charge level of the batteries during charging.
o30%, 60%, 90% and 100%.
Fault Indications. During charging, the charger
provides feedback about the charge process and any problems detected. It will provide feedback and signal the type of problem by flashing LEDs as described below:
Changing the Battery Type Setting
The standard setting for the onboard battery charger is Flooded/AGM. EXCEPTION: If your machine was ordered from NSS equipped with Crown AGM or Gel batteries, then the charger was configured for Gel batteries at the factory. Configuring the Charger for Gel batteries:
Top cover screws
1. Remove the top cover.
2. Pull the jumper off the 2-pin connector (position 1), and then move the jumper to position 2 on only one pin of the 2-pin connector. See photo below.
3. Reinstall the top cover.
1. The green wire outputs a battery voltage when
the charger is not plugged in to AC to provide an Interlock function.
2. Securely fasten the black ring terminal from the
charger to the negative terminal ("-", "NEG", NEGATIVE") of the battery pack.
3. Select Charge Algorithm if battery type is other
than factory default.
Jumper Location
Position 1 For Wet Cell (Default) (Jumper on both pins)
Position 2 For Gel Cell (Jumper on 1 Pin of 2-Pin Connector)
Configure the Charger for Flooded/AGM batteries
1. Remove the top cover
2. Pull the jumper from the 2-pin connector, and install the jumper at position 1 (on both pins of 2­pin connector).
3. Reinstall the top cover.
Operating the Battery Charger
CAUTION: DIFFERENT BATTERY TYPES HAVE DIFFERENT CHARGING REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY YOUR BATTERY TYPE AND SET THE CHARGER ACCORDINGLY WILL RESULT IN BATTERY DAMAGE, AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
The battery charger is fully automatic. Simply plug the charger into a suitable wall outlet, and the charger will charge the batteries. The green 100% LED will be continuously illuminated when the charge cycle is complete. A bubbling, or boiling sound coming from the batteries during the last few hours of the charge is normal. The batteries may be warm, but not too hot to touch. The charger will maintain the proper battery voltage as long as it is plugged in (maintenance mode).
Equalizing the batteries (Flooded only)
The batteries should be equalized once every 30 days for maximum battery runtime and life.
To equalize the batteries: Plug in the charger, and fully charge the batteries
(until the green 100% LED is on continuously).
Unplug the charger from the wall outlet, then plug it
back in.
The charger will run for 2hrs, holding the batteries at a constant voltage, and equalizing each cell.
Opportunity Charging
Opportunity charging is charging the batteries when an opportunity presents itself, such as during breaks, and is done in addition to a full charge cycle. Opportunity charging is recommended, as this extra charging time will help raise the operating voltage of the batteries, and will help ensure maximum runtime and cycle life.
See Operating Battery Charger Instructions or Monthly Maintenance for equalizing your batteries especially if you have been opportunity charging your machine.
Notes on LED indications per DoE compliance:
When first connected to DC (AC not connected), the LEDs will display one or more of the following: The LEDs will flash the charger’s ID code (this is for
PCS internal use only). Once the LEDs flash the ID, they will only display one yellow LED. This configuration will remain until AC is detected and a charge cycle is in progress.
There is also a possibility the LEDs will not flash
their ID code and only show a yellow LED.
Lastly, the LEDs may not flash their ID code and
may not show any LEDs until AC is detected.
If the AC line and neutral wires are reversed, the unit will wait 2 minutes before starting a charge. NOTE: The 2-minute wait period will also be a factor if the
charger is being powered by anything other than normal grid AC such as a conventional generator, inverter, etc.
If the AC plug is disconnected during charge, the unit will turn off as expected. The user may hear some clicking noise, but should not be alarmed. This is the Powered by Battery/DOE functionality checking for AC connection.
