DANGER! It is the owner/operator's responsibility to ensure that the air-exchange system

installed in any location where a propane floor care machine is being operated is of sufficient
capacity and quality to support the use of such a machine. OSHA and other County, State, or
Federal Agencies publish guidelines on this subject that are usually most readily found in the
possession of the respective owners and/or parent companies of any location or chain of
locations. Failure on the part of the owner/operator to ensure that a propane floor care machine
can be operated safely in a given location may lead to injury, sickness or even loss of life.

away from the machine while it's in operation.

DANGER! Injury to the operator or bystanders could occur if the machine's power is on while

changing the buffing pad or making machine adjustments. Never try to change the buffing pad or
attempt to make machine adjustments while the engine is running.

DANGER! Cigarette lighters, pilot lights and any other sources ignition can create an explosion if it

comes in contact with Propane gas. Propane is a highly flammable fuel. All sources of ignition should
be extinguished or removed entirely if possible from the work area. DO NOT SMOKE in the vicinity of
a Propane powered machine.

DANGER! This machine emits carbon monoxide. Asphyxiation could occur if the unit is used in an

area with poor or inadequate ventilation. Operate machine in a well ventilated area only. If a
headache develops, shut off the machine. Have it checked for carbon monoxide emissions by a
qualified technician before using it again.

DANGER! Dangerous carbon monoxide emissions from this machine are greatly increased due to a

dirty combustion air cleaner. Follow the engine's manufacturer’s air cleaner service instructions.

DANGER! Propane is highly flammable. If you smell propane gas, shut off the machine and move it

outside. Determine the source of the leak before using it again. NEVER vent propane gas inside a
building. It is UNLAWFUL to store a propane cylinder inside a building.

WARNING! Long or continuous exposure to high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.

Always wear hearing protection while using this machine.

WARNING! Injury to the eyes and/or body can occur if protective clothing and/or equipment is not

worn while using this machine. Always wear safety goggles and safety clothing while using this

center, damaged or missing.

WARNING! Operating a machine that has loose parts could result in injury or property damage. Do

Pic. 1

not operate this machine if there are loose parts. Inspect the machine for loose parts frequently. This
will promote safe operation and a long life for the machine.

WARNING! Vibration from machinery may cause numbness or tingling of the fingers in certain

people. Smoking, dampness, diet, and heredity may contribute to the symptoms. Wearing warm
clothing, gloves, exercising and refraining from smoking can reduce the effects of vibration. If the
symptoms still persist, discontinue operation of the machine.

SECTION (3) MACHINE INTRODUCTION:

ONYX propane floor care equipment is manufactured in two basic concepts: The high speed
buffer/burnisher/polisher and the floor stripper/grinder. Both of these designs are truly portable
equipment. Propane burnishers are best defined as ultra high speed burnishers with the staying
power to produce superior high gloss floor surfaces. Upon contact with the floor, the burnisher
should always be kept moving. The speed at which you walk will determine the results that you will
obtain. Slower speeds create more heat and therefore more shine. ONYX recommends a
moderate pace for best results and safe operation. NEVER RUN WITH THE BURNISHER! While
a credible shine will still result, the danger of trying to stop the machine in an emergency situation
is unacceptable. When buurnishing, avoid loose tile, electric outlets, door thresholds and any
object which may come in contact with the pad other than the floor itself. REMEMBER, the pad is
turning very rapidly.

Proper care and maintenance will protect your investment and keep your machine serving you for
many years to come. It is essential that these instructions are closely followed.

SECTION (4) HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE:

Preparing The Machine For Use:

BEFORE using any type of powered equipment, proper safety dictates you should visually inspect it
before each and every use.

1. Adjust the HANDLE to a comfortable height and insert T-pin into adjustment hole (Pic. 2)

2. BONNET FILTER - Make sure the bonnet air filter atop the engine is clean and secure. It
should be inspected before each use for cleanliness. Clean or replace as needed (Pic. 9)

3. Check engine OIL LEVEL. KAWASAKI - MUST screw the dipstick in to get reading (Pic. 8)

4. DANGER! Propane cylinder MUST be filled by a certified filling station.

5. PAD AND PAD HOLDER - Inspect the condition of the pad and pad holder. Is there a pad? Is

it properly attached? What is its condition? Ensure pad is clean and has at least a thickness
of 1/3 inch. DANGER! ALWAYS turn off engine to clean or replace pad.

6. PROPANE CYLINDER and FUEL LINES – Do the fuel lines show any sign of wear and tear,
such as cracks/dry rot or any corrosion?

Screw the brass fuel line fitting (Rego) onto the tank service valve hand tight only. DANGER!
, This connection MUST be secure because the service valve has a safety valve inside it which

will only open if the brass fuel fitting is COMPLETELY seated into the service valve (Pic. 5)

Starting the Engine:

1. Be sure the fuel (Rego) coupler is tight and secure to the propane cylinder and the battery is

connected.

2. Turn on the propane cylinder valve (counter clockwise) to the fully open (Pic. 5)

3. Set the throttle in the (pulled back) idle position (Pic. 3)

PRIMER BUTTON

4. It may be necessary to crank the engine for several seconds to allow the propane gas to
populate the fuel system.

5. Allow the engine to warm up at half throttle to operating temperature before placing under load
(beginning work). For best results and engine performance, run the machine at full throttle
while under load.

6. Push throttle lever to the full throttle position before engaging floor surface.

7. NOTE: If equipped with Emissions shut-down, the red LED light will light up for 8-10 seconds

when starting the machine and then go out if working properly.
