This propane powered floor machine is designed and manufactured for commercial floor burnishing only. This machine is designed to burnish most modern types of floors including composition tile, stone, marble, terrazzo, and resilient floor covering, and some coated wood floors. Even though NFPA 11.13.2.3 says...”the use of floor maintenance machines in buildings frequented by the public, including the times when such buildings are occupied by the public, shall require the approval of the authority having jurisdiction.” Amano Pioneer Eclipse suggests usage when occupancy of a given work area is minimal.

These machines should not be used

 In nursing homes, hospitals, day-care centers, etc.

that are occupied.

 By unqualified or untrained personnel.  Unless properly maintained and adjusted.  On areas with obstructions such as thresholds,

floor outlet boxes, etc.

 In areas where loose debris or other objects are

present.

 In rooms and areas without proper ventilation.

Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders

This machine uses a 20lb (9.1kg) capacity aluminum or steel cylinder, which meets the DOT 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. FILL THROUGH THE SERVICE VALVE ONLY. A properly filled cylinder should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity. DO NOT attempt cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to your propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please note that DOT regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders after the cylinder has been filled with propane.

When not in use, cylinders should always be stored outside in an upright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel mesh storage cabinet. The cabinet may be located next to the building, but with at least five feet (1.5 m) of space between the cabinet and the nearest building opening (door or window). The cylinder to be used on this machine is a vapor

withdraw cylinder. A liquid withdraw cylinder is not to be used with this machine. The use of a liquid withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and create a fire hazard. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate authority for safe propane use. A copy of this publication is available through the National Fire Protection Association (1-800-344-3555) or www.NFPA.org.

Test for Operator-Ear Sound Pressure Level

Amano Pioneer Eclipse measures and rates the operatorear 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).

 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.

 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.

 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.

 The operator is located in the normal operating

position with the microphone or meter supported independent of the machine, 1,68 m (66 in) above the test surface, 25 cm (10 in) to the right and left centerline of the operators position, and 20 cm (8 in) to the rearmost point of the handle, with the handle in the most forward position.

 The sound level meter is observed for a minimum

of 5 seconds or until a stabilized reading is obtained. The maximum repeatable sound level observed during the test at each microphone position is recorded and documented.

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).

 The test area consists of a flat open floor area

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.

Installing the LP Cylinder

Place the Safe-Fill®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. Remove slack by pulling on the loose end and secure back to strap.

TO REMOVE THE LP CYLINDER, reverse the above procedure. Always connect or change cylinders in a well-ventilated area.

Engine Ignition Switch

This machine features a key switch ignition. Start: Turn the key all the way clockwise or START to engage the engine starter motor. Once the engine starts release the key.

Note: Always start this machine with the bail throttle in the idle or “slow” position.

Run: This is the position of the key while the engine is running. Off: Turn the key to the “OFF” position to stop the engine from running.

Note: For safety, always close the propane cylinder valve to stop the engine and then turn the key switch to the “OFF” position.

Bail Throttle

Do not try to start machine with the bail throttle in the operating position.

After the engine has started, pull the bail throttle to the operating position. The clutch will engage automatically and the engine will throttle to the correct speed.

CAUTION! DO NOT pull the bail throttle with the burnishing head lowered to the floor.

Release the bail and the clutch will automatically disengage and the engine speed will return to idle.

SafeSense Emissions Monitoring System

SafeSense 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.

Note: After engine starts, the YELLOW alert light will flash for a 3 minute warm-up cycle of the SafeSense system. (The machine may be operated during this warm-up period.) After the warm-up cycle, the alert light will go out. None of the SafeSense lights will be illuminated as long as the machine is running safely.

OIL: Light comes on when there is low oil pressure. If the

engine losses oil pressure, the engine shuts down until the condition is corrected. The light comes on each time the engine is stopped.

TILT/IDLE: Light comes on when the machine is tilted to

the pad change position and the engine shuts down. If the machine is allowed to idle for more than 4 minutes, the light flashes for 1 minute then the engine shuts down.

RED SafeSense SERVICE: If carbon monoxide levels

exceed a pre-set level, the light will flash. The machine will shut down after the light flashes continuously for one minute. If the machine does not operate normally after the engine air filter is checked and cleaned, it must be serviced by a qualified technician.

OXYGEN SENSOR: If light comes on during normal

operation, check the oxygen sensor wire for a snug fit into the harness and for a snug fit of the harness into the SafeSense board. If the light still remains on, the machine must be serviced by a qualified technician.

TURN GAS OFF: Light comes on to remind the operator

to turn off the gas after the engine shuts down.

BATTERY: Light comes on when the battery voltage is

low indicating the need to service charging system.

YELLOW SafeSense ALERT: If light comes on during

normal operation, check and clean the engine air filter. Check the carburetor air filter for holes, tears, or punctures and replace if damaged. If the light still remains on, the machine must be serviced by a qualified technician.

NOTE: Any light that is on when the engine stops will remain illuminated for 20 seconds to indicate the reason for machine shut down.

The oxygen sensor must reach operating temperature before it will start to send signals to the SafeSense module. This warm up period is approximately 3 minutes. After the initial 3 minutes, the module will start evaluating the signal from the oxygen sensor and if the module receives an abnormal reading for a period of 1 minute, the unit will shut down. If the machine is also allowed to idle for more than 4 minutes, an indicator light will flash for 1 minute and then the engine will shut down. If this happens, turn the key to the “off” position several seconds to clear the SafeSense module and restart the engine. Once the engine has started, advance the bail throttle to operating 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, SafeSense will shut the unit down after 1 minute. 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, SafeSense will continue to shut the unit down until the problem is corrected.

Engines tend to go to a 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 SafeSense is as follows.

1. With the bail throttle in the idle position, turn the key switch to the start position, once the engine starts, advance the bail throttle to the operating position.

2. When ready to stop operation, release the bail throttle. If the unit will not be used within forty-five seconds, 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.

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

Hour Meter / Tachometer

The hour meter / tachometer records the number of hours the machine has been powered ON. The hour meter reading is used to mark recommended maintenance intervals. It also displays the engine speed. This meter displays hours when the machine is turned OFF and engine speed when the machine is turned ON.

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

2. Remove the propane cylinder.

3. Loosen the handle pivot knobs so that the handle can slide.

4. Pull the handle out until it stops.

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

6. Push downward on the handle until it stops.

7. Tighten the handle pivot knobs so that the handle can not move.

8. Go to the front of the machine and lift up on the deck, rocking the machine back until it rests on the back of the bulkhead.

9. When lowering the machine down, DO NOT drop the machine. Slowly lower the machine to the floor until the wheels are on the ground.

10. With the handle in the operating position, the height of the handle can be adjusted. Loosen the handle pivot knobs and position the handle to the desired height. Then tighten the handle pivot knobs.

Pad Change

1. Place the machine in the Rok-Bak position. (see Rok-Bak section)

2. Remove centering device and inspect pad. If pad has worn less than 1/4” (6mm), replace it.

CAUTION! Carefully inspect the pad holder for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.

WARNING! A damaged pad holder rotating at high speeds may be an extreme hazard if it should come apart.

Fuses

The machine’s electrical circuit is protected by two fuses, 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.

Wheel Adjustment

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

2. Remove the propane cylinder.

3. Place the machine in the Rok-Bak position (see Rok-Bak section).

CAUTION! Always open service valve slowly to allow pressure to equalize in hoses. Opening quickly may cause the flow check valve to engage, limiting fuel flow.

5. Allow machine to tilt backward (pad off floor).

6. With the bail throttle in the idle position, engage the starter by turning the key switch to the starting position for approximately 5 seconds. If the engine does not start, release the key switch for 10 seconds, then try to start again in another 5 seconds.

7. After the engine has started, allow the engine to warm up for approximately 30 seconds.

WARNING! Catalytic mufflers require a few minutes to warm up before effectively removing harmful emissions. Make sure of proper ventilation during this warm-up period!

Burnishing

1. After engine has started, allow approximately 30 seconds for the engine to warm up.

2. Pull the bail throttle to operating position.

3. Lower the burnishing head to the floor while moving the machine forward slowly.

CAUTION! Do not run the burnisher without moving the machine. If the machine is allowed to run in one spot, damage to the floor may occur.

4. To stop burnishing, push down on handle to raise the burnishing head off the floor.

CAUTION! DO NOT add weight to the burnisher head. CAUTION! DO NOT lift up on the handle to add pressure

while burnishing.

Note: To not comply with any of the CAUTION! statements could cause the engine to overheat and/or damage the padholder or drive components.

It is recommended to start burnishing on the right side of the aisle, turn and come back down the aisle in the opposite direction, overlapping the previous path slightly. Continue this pattern until the floor area to be burnished has been covered with the last pass being on the right side of the machine. The forward speed is generally at normal walking speed.

5. When done burnishing, push the machine to the desired location. Turn off the LP cylinder service valve. When the fuel is depleted and the engine stops, turn the key switch OFF.

6. Remove the LP cylinder and store properly. Refer to Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders.

Idling and Stopping the Machine

DANGER! Allowing the engine to idle excessively will increase carbon monoxide emissions!

To stop the engine, close the service valve on the fuel cylinder by turning it clockwise (the engine will stop when the fuel in the lines is used up). Once the engine stops, turn the keyswitch off.

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board and Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation is pleased to explain the emissions control system’s warranty on your 2012 small off-road engine. In California, new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation must warrant the emissions control system on your small offroad engine for the period listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment. Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetor’s or fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also, included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissionrelated assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you

including diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage

This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be

repaired or replaced by Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

(a) As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine, but Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

(c) You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable

regulations adopted by the Air Resources Board; and

(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the

failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:

(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as

If any such part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in

the written instructions required by subsection (d) must be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). A

statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as

replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions required by subsection (d) must be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by the engine manufacturer according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty

must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above, warranty

services or Repairs must be provided at all manufacturer distribution centers that are franchised to service the subject engines.

(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to

the Determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

(7) The manufacturer is liable for damages to other engine

components Proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any warranted part.

(8) Throughout the emissions warranty period defined in Subsection

(b)(2), the manufacturer must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.

(9) Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any

warranty Maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer.

(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air

Resources Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or modified part.

(11) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any

documents that describe that manufacturer’s warranty procedures or policies within five working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
