GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 120V
WARNING
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a 15 amp
nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The
amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label
found on each machine. Using voltages above or
below those indicated on the data label will cause
serious damage to the motors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can
be installed by a quali ed electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or similar that extends from
the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
SAFETY
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in electric shock. Check with a
quali ed electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance
- if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a quali ed electrician.
SAFETY LABEL LOCATION
These drawings indicate the location of safety labels
on the Machine. If at any time the labels become
illegible, contact your authorized representative for
prompt replacement.

Unpacking and Initial Operations
CAUTION
WARNING
Open the shipping box on both sides, remove the
packaging material and roll the machine out of the box.
Pre-Run Inspection
Before each use, inspect the accessory such as the pad
driver for cracks, tears, or excess wear. If the machine or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage to install an
undamaged accessory.
Repair the damaged machine before the next application.
Tilt the head back and place the foot of the bumper on the
ground.
Choose a pad for the appropriate application. Center the
pad on the driver plate.
Position the handle in a lower position.and push slowly
forward until the machine base tilts towards the ground.
OPERATION
Make sure to put the wheels back on the ground in time to
avoid the base from falling on the ground. This might cause
damage!
Check to make sure the power switch is in the “off” position.
Power Cable / Quick Disconnect
Take provided power cable and connect to machine quick
disconnect located on machine. Push and twist to lock
cables together. You can now plug power cord into outlet.
Spray System Preparation
Fill the bottle cartridge with recommended cleaning solution.
For priming the pump system for the rst system, move the
valve lever to the vertical position and depress spray switch
for 30 seconds. For standard priming, 10 seconds is usually
sufcient.
By adjusting the valve lever you can vary the spray

OPERATION
CAUTION
pressure. The further you move the lever counterclockwise
upwards, the higher the water pressure. A horizontal
position means maximum water output at maximum
pressure.
To turn the machine on, press the power button on the end
of the left handle.
Spray Jets
Adjust the spray jets on the machine base to the desired
position. For most oor cleaning applications adjust the
spray jets so that they spray about 6 inches (15 cm) in front
of the base.
Adjusting Height
Set the handle position to the desired height by pulling and
releasing the black knob with the left hand.
While holding the black knob out, raise or lower the handle
frame with your right hand.
To x the handle frame into place, release the black knob so
that it locks rmly into one of the holes provided.
Position “0” is off and position “I” is on.
Make sure a suitable pad or brush is mounted before
starting the machine. The immediate contact of the oor and
driver plate without a pad can lead to serious damage of
the oor and/or the machine.
Process of Cleaning
For effective oor cleaning, move the machine forward and
backwards. It is recommended to wet the oor as you move
the machine forward, releasing the solution button when
you move the machine backwards.
To increase the pressure and cleaning effect on certain oor
types like tile and grout, you can lift the machine frame up,
raising the wheels off the ground. When lifting the wheels
off the ground the full weight of the machine lies on the
machine base.

CAUTION
Make sure the surface to be cleaned is not damaged by the
CAUTION
increase in pressure.
Omit this measure on very sensitive oors.
End of the Application
Turn off the machine by putting the on/off switch to “O”. If
a cleaning solution was used, ll bottle cartridge with water
and spray out system for 30 seconds.
Make sure to not let solution come in contact with the motor.
Storage
To avoid damage to the handle frame, DO NOT lay the
machine frame on the oor as done with other traditional
cleaning equipment. Remove the pad from the driver plate
by pulling it down rmly. Put the machine frame in an
upright position by pulling the black knob with the left hand
and move the handle frame upwards with the right hand.
OPERATION
The black knob should lock rmly in the top hole.
To allow an easy transportation of the machine, remove the
weight kit if used.
To easily roll the machine, push your foot on the back wheel
axle to create leverage and pull the handle towards your
body. The machine can be moved similar to a dolly now.
Always store with the base in the upright position.
Lifting and Carrying
If you do not have a ramp, we recommend two people to
life machine in and out of a vehicle. Put the rmly locked
handle into a lowered position. Make sure that the machine
base rests on a pad, so that the grip surface of the driver
plate does not get damaged or hooked onto a carpeted
surface.
Grip the machine from each side as shown.
When lifting the machine in or out of the vehicle, set the

OPERATION
WARNING
wheels down rst, followed by the machine base.
Make sure not to grip too close to the machine base. If the
base should ip upwards it can cause serious hand injuries.
Make sure you lift the machine with a back-friendly posture.
Secure machine rmly so it will not move.
Weight Kit Installation
The total weight of the weight kit is 40 lbs.
Put the weights on top of the mounting plates located on the
sides of the machine base.
Put the four screws into the holes provided on the weight
plates and fasten by turning clockwise.
Once the screws have threaded at least 5 full turns, tighten
the wing nuts by turning them clockwise, until the weights t
securely to the base.
CAUTION
Make sure that the weights are securely attached to the
base. Loose weights can cause serious damage.
For storage and transport we recommend removing the
weight kit. The machine can be transported more easily
without the weights.
Brush Installation
Put the machine base in an upright position, sitting on the
foot of the bumper.
Remove the driver plate by removing the four countersink
screws in the center of the plate using an electric
screwdriver.
WARNING
It is important to only use a Number 3 Phillips head
screwdriver bit. Smaller bit sizes can damage the screw
heads and leave sharp edges, which can tear or snag the
pads. Damaged screws can cause further damage.
