Machine Preparation
To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be
sure the handle is “locked” in the upright position.
1. Lay the floor machine on its back with the handle lying
on the floor to expose the driving plate on the underside
of the floor machine.
2. Holding the drive block, brush or attachment in both
hands and straddling the motor with your back to the
handlebox, bend over and fit the three slots of the
clutch plate (built into the back of the brush) over the
three lugs of the driving plate.
3. Turn the drive block, brush or attachment counterclockwise as far as it will go until it is seated in the
ready-to-use position.
CAUTION: This is the only proper way to install a drive
block, brush or attachment. NEVER put a drive block,
brush or attachment on the machine by placing it on the
floor and moving the running machine over it, or by
placing the machine over the block or attachment and
then starting the motor.
4. Return the floor machine to upright position and adjust
handle to operating position. Recommended handle
position is close to the waist with arms extended down.
5. Lock the cam release lever into position.
NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not
require extreme tightening to effectively hold the handle
in position. Over-tightening will shorten the functional
life of the lever.
To remove drive block, brush or attachment, lay the floor
machine on its back and disengage clutch plate slots
from driving plate lugs by turning clockwise.
Machine Operation
1. First install the pad driver and pad, brush or other
attachments to be used.
2. Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle to
the desired operating height and lock in place using the
cam lever handle.
3. Push the safety switch forward and squeeze the switch
triggers beneath the handle grips. This activates the
motor and starts the block, brush or attachment in
operation.
Each time you release the triggers the safety switch will
reset.
You will need to follow the direction above to restart the
machine.
CAUTION: When leaving the machine unattended,
disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the
“locked” upright position to prevent accidental starting.
Guiding the Machine
To move toward the right, raise the handle slightly. The
higher the handle is lifted, the faster the machine will move
to the right.
To move toward the left, lower the handle until the machine
travels to the left. The more the handle is lowered, the
faster the movement to the left.
Dual-Speed 175/320 RPM
Models
The Pioneer Eclipse dual speed machines will operate in a
broad range of applications. These machines perform all
the applications of the 175 RPM standard speed machines
and the 300 RPM high speed machines except the
specialized applications.
Do not use dual speed machines for sanding, grinding or
scraping.
The dual speed machines are specially designed for spray
cleaning of heavy traffic areas.
Machine Operation
Follow the operation procedures described for 175 RPM
machines.
The proper speed selection is important to properly
operate these machines.
Speed selection Low (175 RPM) or High (320 RPM) is
made with the switch located on the base and motor
housing.
Stripping, scrubbing, bonnet cleaning and shampooing
should be performed at 175 RPM Low Speed.
Buffing should be performed at 320 RPM, High Speed.
Do not store the machine with the drive block, pad or brush
on the machine.
Wipe off the machine housing and wheels to prevent
build-up of unnecessary residue.
Transporting the Machine
1. Place the handle in the upright position.
2. Lock the handle cam release lever.
3. Tip the machine back and transport on the wheels.
