connected to the electrical ground. For maximum
protection against electric shock, use a circuit that is
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult
with your electrical contractor.
WARNING: To prevent damage to the power cord, do not
let the pad, pad driver or wheels touch the power cord
when the machine is running. Always lift the power cord
over the machine.
WARNING: Make sure all labels, decals, warning, cautions
and instructions are fastened to the machine.
175 RPM Models
The Pioneer Eclipse 175 RPM floor machine will operate in
a wide variety of applications. The 175 RPM floor machine
is the most versatile speed in the floor care industry.
Hard Floor Applications
• Dry buffing a buffable finish with a tan, beige or white
pad or brush.
• Scrubbing with green or blue pad or scrubbing brush.
• Stripping with a black pad and a stripping chemical.
Carpet Applications
• Bonnet cleaning with a yarn bonnet and carpet
maintainer chemical.
• Shampooing using a showerfeed shampoo brush and
solution tank mounted to the handle tube containing
carpet shampoo.
WARNING: To prevent injury, always remove the electrical
plug from the electrical outlet before changing the
polishing pad and before leaving the machine.

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.
3
Machine Maintenance
Once a month remove the motor cover and vacuum out
any dust or debris which has accumulated on the motor.
Replace the motor cover by setting it over the holes in the
housing and replace all of the screws. Check and maintain
the tightness of all the fasteners.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the switch housing screws.
Keep the machine clean especially at the handle tube and
collar so the handle tube will move freely through the
collar. Inspect the cord for cuts, gashes, or loose prongs;
replace as needed.
Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty. Improper
disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently
damage the field or rotor.
Troubleshooting
Machine does not run.
The circuit breaker has tripped. Allow the circuit breaker 2
minutes to cool before resetting. Plug is broken or has
loose contact. Replace.
Prevent circuit overload.
Check the pad and change it if it is rough or dirty. Spray
buffing or spray cleaning is not a substitute for
scrubbing or mopping a floor. Eliminate any extension
cord that is smaller than 12/3 wire or greater than 25
feet in length. Unplug anything other than the machine
from the circuit or locate another circuit.
Machine will not start.
Circuit breaker is not reset. Reset breaker.
Plug is broken or has a loose contact. Replace.
Circuit breaker is defective or weak. Replace.
Switch is defective. Replace switch.
Machine will not reach operating speed.
Unplug anything else other than the machine from the
circuit or locate another circuit.
Motor runs but pad or brush does not turn.
Coupling is broken. Replace. Coupling is not covered
under warranty. Do not attempt to place a running
machine over a block or brush. Always place and
remove the block or brush by hand.
Safety Instructions
This Floor Machine should be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
This machine is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3prong grounded type attachment cap plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect this wire to anything other than the grounding
blade.
The Floor Machine is provided with an attachment cap
plug, as shown in Sketch A, and is intended for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle,
as shown in Sketch A, is unavailable, an adaptor, as
shown in Sketch C, is available and should be installed, as
shown in Sketch B, if the outlet box that houses the
receptacle is grounded. Be sure to fasten the grounding
tap to the faceplate screw.
