Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure Level

Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operator-ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor treatment and floor cleaning machines for industrial use. All tests are performed in accordance with European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).

lOutdoor test area consists of a flat open space free

from effects of signboards, buildings or hillsides for at least 15 m (50 ft) from the center of the test surface. Indoor tests are conducted in a semi-anechoic or sound deadening room.

lThe test surface is a single sheet of floor covering

at least 1 m (3.3 ft) wider and longer than the equipment being tested. In order to not affect the sound reading, the observer taking readings is at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) from the equipment being tested, or standing directly behind the operator.

lAll machines are tested while stationary and centered

on the test surface. With the traction drive in neutral (where applicable) the test is conducted with the machine at maximum engine or motor speed as specified by the manufacturer.

Test for Hand-Arm Vibration at the Grip

Surface of Hand-Guided Machinery

Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the vibration at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided machines that are provided with handles in accordance with European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).

lThe test area consists of a flat open floor area that

allows the machine to be operated normally.

lThe transducer is mounted firmly at a point halfway

along the length of the handle where the handle would normally be held.

lMachines are tested while stationary, with all

mechanisms necessary for the equipment to perform its intended functions engaged and the traction drive in neutral (if applicable). The machine will be tested at maximum engine or motor speed as specified by the manufacturer of the subject machine.

lThe measurements are recorded from the dominant

Machine Preparation

Unpacking the Machine

The machine is shipped boxed on a wooden pallet. To unpack machine:

1. Cut and remove bands holding the box to the pallet.

2. Remove staples attaching the box to the platform at the bottom edge of the box.

3. With two people, one at either end of the box, lift box straight up and off machine.

4. Cut and remove bands securing the machine to the pallet.

Filling the LP Cylinder

This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder, which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These cylinders are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel cylinder meets European TPED specifications and is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLY by a qualified propane dealer. A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity. Do not overfill the cylinder or use a liquid withdraw cylinder on the machine. The use of a liquid withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and create a fire hazard.

5. Remove all bracing.

6. Remove T-handle and drivers from pallet.

7. Check machine engine oil (See Maintenance section).

NOTE: If machine was shipped by airfreight, add engine oil.

8. Place a ramp on or against the pallet to prevent the machine from dropping off the pallet and causing damage.

9. Rock the machine back by pushing down on one of the foot pegs while pulling back on the handle.

10. Carefully back the machine off the pallet.

Installing the LP Cylinder

Place the cylinder on the cylinder platform at the back of the machine. Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service valve by turning to the right (clockwise). HAND TIGHTEN ONLY! Make sure coupling is not cross threaded and check for leakage by noting any propane odors immediately after cylinder is connected. Finally, secure the tank to the machine using the adjustable strap.

Safety Bail

The safety bail must be pulled back in order for the clutch to be engaged and the deck heads to rotate.

Engage: Press the top of the deck switch and pull the safety bail back.

Disengage: Release the safety bail and press the bottom of the deck switch.

Solution Control

The solution control cable controls the solution flow to the floor.

Increase Flow: Pull the knob outward. Decrease Flow: Pushe the knob inward. Stop: Push the knob all the way in.

NOTE: Even if the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position, solution can still be dispensed on the floor. Take care to push the knob in when the machine is not in use.

EcoSense Emission Monitoring System

EcoSense is an emissions monitoring device that monitors the exhaust emissions and will shut the engine down if the emissions levels are too low or too high.

3. When ready to restart, open the gas valve on the tank, put the throttle in slow position and turn key switch to the start position. Once the engine has started, move throttle to full position and return to operation.

SAFRTM technology monitors the pressure between the

air filter and the carburetor. As the air filter becomes dirty, this pressure decreases. With SAFR this change in pressure results in a reduction in fuel delivered to the engine. The net result is a Steady Air Fuel Ratio regardless of the air filter condition.

technology,

The monitor must receive a signal from the oxygen sensor in order to function. If it did not have a minimum reading requirement it would be possible to disconnect the oxygen sensor and operate the unit, even if the emissions were out of limits. In order for the unit to work as designed it must be able to read both low and high signals, with “not to exceed limits” of both.

The oxygen sensor must reach operating temperature before it will start to send signals to the EcoSense module. This time is set at one minute. A unit may shut down at a cold start up after one minute because the oxygen sensor did not reach required temperature to start to send signals. If this happens, turn the key to the off position several seconds to clear the EcoSense module and restart the engine. Once the engine has started, advance the throttle to full throttle position and start the operation. With the engine at full throttle under load, the signal from the oxygen sensor should be within the normal operating ranges for safe operation.

If the engine’s air intake filter needs to be serviced, or an over-filled cylinder has been installed by mistake, or there is a problem with the fuel system that causes the oxygen sensor’s signal to be out of range, EcoSense will shut the unit down in four minutes. The unit can be re-started after clearing the module by turning off the key switch. If corrections have not been made to the unit, EcoSense will continue to shut the unit down after the one minute warm-up and/or four minute out of limit periods.

Engines tend to go to lean burn if allowed to idle for even short periods. Even at high idle speeds most engines will continue to lean downward. It is always best to shut the engine off when it is not being used to do work. Remember the engine is always creating emissions as long as it is running.

The best manner to operate a unit equipped with EcoSense is as follows.

1. With the throttle in the slow position, turn the key switch to the start position, once the engine starts, advance the throttle to full throttle “fast”.

2. When ready to stop operation, release clutch (if equipped) and move throttle to the slow position. If the unit will not be used within one minute, turn the key switch to the off position. If the unit will not be returned to service within a few minutes it is best to turn the gas valve on the tank off first and let the engine consume all fuel that is in lines. Once the engine dies, turn the key switch to off position.

Deck Switch

The deck switch energizes the clutch, allowing the heads to turn when the safety bail is engaged.

Engage: Press the top of the switch. The green light is ON.

Disengage: Press the bottom of the switch. The green light is OFF.

NOTE: The safety bail must be pulled back for the clutch to engage.

Handle Pivot Knob

To move or adjust the operators handle, loosen the handle pivot knobs on both side of the bulkhead. The handle pivot knobs must be tightened before operating, moving, or tilting the machine back to access the drivers.

Handle Adjustment / Position

To adjust the operating position of the handle, simply loosen the two handle pivot knobs, slide the handle to the desired position and tighten the two handle pivot knobs.

1. To place the handle in the Head Change Position, loosen the handle pivot knobs so the handle can slide.

2. Pull the handle out until it stops.

3. Rotate handle towards the front of the machine until it is vertical.

4. Push downward on the handle until it stops.

Fuse

The machine’s electrical circuit is protected by a fuse, which stops the flow of current in the event of a circuit overload. Once a fuse blows, it must be replaced. If the overload that caused the fuse to fail is still present, the new fuse will fail and the problem must be corrected. DO NOT bypass any fuse. The ignition fuse is located on the under side of the bulkhead control panel.

Solution Tank

Filling the Solution Tank:

1. Push the machine to a level water lling station.

2. Turn the propane cylinder service valve clockwise to close. When the engine has stopped, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.

3. Remove the solution tank lid.

4. Fill the solution tank with water. Capacity: 9 US Gal (34.1L)

Head Change

1. Close the valve on the propane cylinder, allow the engine to stop and turn the machine OFF.

2. Place the handle in the head change position (see Handle Adjustment / Position section).

3. Rock the machine back by pushing down on one of the foot pegs while pulling back on the handle.

4. Gently allow the bottom side of the control panel to
