10. Do not use acid solutions that could damage the floor.
11. Adjust your speed to the conditions of the floor .
12. Do not turn the machine on a ramp. Do not stop and leave the machine on a ramp or incline.
13. When the machine is parked, move switch to the OFF position (red button switch pressed down all the way).
14. During any maintenance operation, disconnect the power supply from the machine.
15. Lead acid batteries generate gases that can cause an explosion. Read the instruction manual supplied with
the battery charger. Keep sparks and flames away from batteries. NO SMOKING. Charge the batteries
only in an area with good ventilation.
16. Do not use a charger if the power cord is damaged.
17. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries. Remove all jewelry. Do
not put tools or other metal across the battery terminals or the tops of the batteries.
18. Maintenance and repairs must be performed by Authorized Service Centers only. Make adjustments
according to the specifications given in the manual for this machine.
19. Keep the electrical parts of the machine dry. Do not wash the machine with direct water jets or high

OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS
W ARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow
the instructions given in this booklet and the training given
by your supervisor . Failure to do so can r esult in personal
injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!
The model shown in this manual is intended for commercial
use.
PREPARATION
T o prepare the machine for operation, make sure the
batteries are charged and the machine is properly assembled. If in doubt, ask your supervisor.
Be prepared by having your floor area cleared and ready
for the fast action of a burnisher.
Prepare the floor area by sweeping, dusting or mopping as
needed. Check the proper application recommendations
and procedures found on the label of your finish container. IF IN DOUBT , CALL YOUR SUPER VISOR.
W ARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MA TERIAL!
PAD INSTALLA TION
For Burnishing: Select the correct clean burnishing pad
(your supplier can help you). Make sure that the pad is for
ultra high speed burnishing.
NEVER OPERA TE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOOR P AD INSTALLED!
It is very important to select clean, dry pads of uniform thickness. Pads with high or low sections or hard or soft spots
are unacceptable. Pads of open weave are recommended
because close weaves tend to load up fast, bog down the
machines, cause circuits to overload and generally give poor
results.
1. Lift the pad assembly off the floor by lifting lever . Lock in
full “up” position.
2. Unscrew the Pad Retainer by turning it clockwise (when
viewing bottom of pad).
3. Install or replace the pad.
4. Center the new pad on the Pad Driver .
5. Screw the Pad Retainer back on by turning it counter clockwise (when viewing bottom of pad). Check and re
tighten periodically as Pad Retainer may loosen during
operation.
BA TTER Y INSTALLATION
1. Make sure the Red On/Off Switch is in the OFF
position (pushed completely down).
2. Lift and remove the Upper Hood Cover .
3. Place the batteries in their compartment and follow the
“Under Hood Electrical Connections” Drawing on
page 5.
BA TTER Y CHARGING
1. Insure that you have the proper charger or charger
setting for your type of batteries, either conventional
wet, lead acid or sealed “maintenance free”, gel cell/
AGM batteries.
2. Read and follow the charger instructions.
3. Move the Red On/Off to the OFF position (pushed
completely down).
4. Lift and remove the Upper Hood Cover .
5. Connect the charger plug into the mating plug on the
machine. It is located at the rear of the machine.
W ARNING! NEVER ALLOW THE BA TTERIES T O
RUN COMPLETEL Y DOWN, rechar ge them when the
Battery Condition Meter reading is on “RECHARGE”.
6. Plug the charger into a grounded outlet that has the
proper voltage.
W ARNING! NEVER TURN THE MACHINE ON WHILE
CHARGING!
OPERA TION
1. Make sure the pad is on and attached properly. See “Pad
Installation”.
2. Reduce the pad pressure by turning the Caster Knob
clockwise.
3. Move the Switch to the ON position (pulled completely
up), the Green Indicator Light will come on.
4. Check the Battery Condition Meter before operating.
The meter should be in the “W orking Range”.
5. Squeeze one or both Switch Levers and start burnishing
by pushing machine in a slow and steady path. Keep
machine moving while pad is on or floor damage will
occur!
6. Check the Load Meter for PROPER PAD PRESSURE:
A. With machine turned on and levers in the operating
position, check Load Meter for pressure:
1. White area - pressure is too low
2. Green area - pressure is good
3. Red area - pressure is too high
B. To adjust to desired pressure:
1. Turn Caster Knob clockwise to raise pad and
decrease pressure.
2. Turn Caster Knob counter-clockwise to lower pad
and decrease pad pressure.
C. For the best performance, the Load Meter should be
kept in the “Green” area. A green arrow above the
Green area indicates the best pressure.
6. After charging the batteries, disconnect the charger
from the outlet and machine. See battery maintenance on
page 4.
NOTE: T oo much pad pressure may trip the cir cuit breaker .
See “Resetting the circuit breaker” on page 4.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING
PREVENT ATIVE MAINTENANCE
W ARNING! Always move the On/Off Switch to the OFF
position (pushed all the way down) before performing any
service, maintenance, pad changing or inspection of the
machine.
After each use:
1. Empty the filter bag
2. Check the filter bag for rips.
3. Remove the pad and clean thoroughly.
4. W ipe the entire machine down with a clean cloth.
5. Store the machine inside in a clean, dry area.
Weekly:
1. For conventional, wet, lead acid batteries: Check the
level of the electrolyte in the batteries.
Maintain the proper electrolyte level by adding distilled water when necessary . Electrolyte levels lower during
discharge and rise during charge. Therefore, it is
mandatory that water be added to cells ONL Y when they
are fully charged; do not overfill. Old batteries require
more frequent additions of water compared to new
batteries. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OR REMOVE VENT
CAPS ON SEALED, “MAINTENANCE FREE”, GEL
CELL OR AGM BA TTERIES. W A TER CAN NOT BE
ADDED TO THOSE TYPE OF BATTERIES. DAMAGE
WILL OCCUR AND W ARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED.
2. Keep tops of batteries clean and dry to prevent excessive
