Grounding Instrucons
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfuncon or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having 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.
WARNING - Improper connecon of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied 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 machine. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in gure A. A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in gures
B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in gure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only unl a properly
grounded outlet (gure A) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from
the adapter must be connected 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permied
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any
damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only idencal replacement parts.

WARNING! For the safe operaon of this machine follow the instrucons given in this manual and the training given by
your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT!
This machine is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operaon, make sure it is of correct voltage and properly assembled.
Your new oor machine operates in the normal side to side moon of a convenonal single disc machine. Be prepared before starng by
removing all obstrucons or other obstacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper applicaon recommendaons and procedures found
on the label of your cleaning or nish container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing or Polishing: Select the correct oor pad or brush (your supplier can help you). If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly aach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR MACHINE, place the handle in the vercal posion, then lt the machine back unl the
handle rests on the oor. Straddle the handle, facing the motor, and grasp the brush with the block toward you. Place the brush or pad
clutch plate over the three lugs on the motor drive adapter. Twist the brush right to lock it into posion. To remove the brush, UNPLUG
THE MACHINE and follow the same procedure as above, but by twisng the brush o with a rm jerk to the le. Remove the brush or pad
driver when the machine is not in use. This will help prevent brush damage and reduce wobble problems.
DUAL SPEED CONTROL: A rocker switch is located on the motor drip cover. Press the switch in on the side labeled LOW for 175 RPM pad
speed or to HIGH for 300 RPM pad speed.
OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded outlet (see Safety Instrucons). Next, adjust the handle height to a comfortable
posion.
Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock buon and start the machine by depressing either the le or right switch levers.
Both hands should be placed on the handle when the machine is in operaon. The machine will glide sideways over the oor by a slight
raising and lowering of the handle. Raise the handle slightly to go to the right. Lower the handle slightly to go le. Releasing the switch
lever stops the machine.
For Spray Bung: A diluted spray material of about one part water to one part soluon is recommended. Heavier spray bu soluons will
bog down the machine, load up the pad and adversely aect the machine’s eciency.

or is used for spray bung, the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out with compressed air or with the exhaust from a vacuum
is suggested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear passage of air for venlaon and prevent overheang. If you have any quesons
regarding the maintenance of your oor machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
