IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR COMMERCIAL USE
WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:
Do not leave machine unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before changing pads or attempting any maintenance or adjustment. If handle switch lever is
activated accidentally, high starting torque will cause machine to move and may cause damage or
injury.
To avoid electrical shock, Use indoors only. Do not use outdoors and do not expose to rain.
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If machine is not working properly, if it was dropped,
damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp
edges or corners. Do not run machine over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not
unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug not the cord. Do not handle plug or machine
with wet hands.
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
Do not put hands under base - rotating parts could cause injury. Always keep hands feet and
loose fitting clothing away from moving parts to prevent possible injuries. Use care to keep
electrical supply cable from contacting moving parts, such as floor brushes or pads.
Risk of explosion: Floor sanding can result in explosive mixture of fine dust and air. Use this
machine only in a well-ventilated area, free from any flame or match. Do not use machine in areas
where flammable and/or explosive vapors or dusts are present. To avoid fires do not use with a
flammable or combustible liquid to clean a floor.
Make sure voltage and frequency at the wall receptacle correspond with that indicated on
nameplate before plugging in machine. A 20-amp circuit is recommended. Right or left switch
levers will independently operate the motor.
Never use a device to lock the switch lever in the “ON” position.
Use only a 12 Ga. three-wire extension cable, which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3prong receptacles that accept the plug of the machine.
Do not add weight to this machine - this will upset the balance and may cause motor overload.
Do not hop the brush or pad holder onto the machine.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Page 5
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
N
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk electric shock. This machine is
equipped with a cord having an equipment -grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a qualified
electrician can install a properly grounded outlet (sketch A). The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

operation instructions from your safety
director or your authorized Tornado
distributor.
• Always operate this machine with all of
the cable removed from the handle.
Failure to do so will upset the precision
balance of the machine.
• Do not use the Floor Machine for
scarifying or sanding.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNING INSTRUCTIONS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
EXTENSION CORD
If an extension cord is used, use only a three
wire 12 gauge extension cord that has three
prong grounding type plugs and three prong
receptacles that accept the machines plug.
Your Floor Machine is equipped with a 14gauge power cord. Replace or repair all
damaged cables.
PREPARING THE MACHINE
Your Standard Floor Machine will require
some assembly. Refer to the Floor Machine
Assembly Instructions section of this
manual.
FLOOR MACHINE ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
• When you remove the machine from its
carton, you will notice two major
components, the handle assembly, and
the base assembly. You will need a
9/16” box end wrench, a 3/4” box end
wrench, and a 3/4” socket with ratchet
driver to assemble the unit.
• Remove the handle tube pivot lock lever
bolt and the 3/8-16 lock nut from the
handle tube pivot lock bracket. Remove
the 1/2-13 bolt, lock nut, and the 2 nylon
spacers from the base assembly.
• Care should be taken to keep cable
away from rotating brush.
• Do not attempt to repair warranted
machines. All repairs must be done by a
qualified and authorized repair center.
Non warranted repairs will be billed back
to the owner of the unit.
• Do not use any replacement parts
except those specified in the parts list.
Unauthorized parts could cause the unit
to malfunction and will void the warranty.
• Place the handle assembly in position
(as shown). Swing handle tube pivot
support arms up. Align holes with those
in the handle tube pivot lock bracket.
Insert pivot lock lever bolt and assemble
3/8-16 locknut - Do not tighten.
• Insert the two nylon spacers into the
handle tube pivot hole located at the
bottom of the tube. Align tube assembly
pivot holes with the tube pivot/mounting
hole in the base. Insert the 1/2-13 bolt
through mounting holes and tube.
Secure with the 1/2-13 lock nut.
• Tighten both nuts so that the handle
pivots without any side play. Plug the
motor cord securely into the handle tube
cord.
PAD PLACEMENT/INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
• Place pad on floor.
• Place pad holder on pad, bristle side
down. Make sure pad overlaps pad
holder uniformly.
• Turn over pad holder assembly by
grasping pad and pad holder together.
• Mount pad holder assembly on machine.
ATTACHING BRUSH OR PAD HOLDER
7
Page 8
Be sure cable is not plugged into wall outlet.
To attach brush or pad holder, raise handle
to upright position and tighten the handle
tube clamp lever. Tilt machine back on
wheels until handle rests on floor. Rotate
brush or pad holder against coupler until the
three lugs drop into place and turn counterclockwise until locked. To remove, turn
clockwise until lugs of coupler are free and
then lift off. For long life and best results
always use genuine Tornado accessories.
OPERATING THE FLOOR MACHINE
• The 98619 17” Pad Holder is
recommended for hard floor
maintenance and for bonnet carpet
cleaning.
• The 94717 17” Foam Feed Shampoo

• Plug cable to wall receptacle making
sure the voltage and frequency
correspond with that indicated on
nameplate.
• THE LOCKOUT LEVER MUST BE
PUSHED FORWARD FROM THE
OPERATORS POSITION TO UNLOCK
SWITCH LEVERS. Right or left switch
levers will independently operate motor.
• Raising or lowering handles lightly
controls movement of machine in
operation. Raise handle to travel to the
right. To make it travel to the left, lower
the handle.
• Floor Machine when used for wet
scrubbing and stripping. Apply cleaning
or stripping solution directly to floor
surface with a mop. Scrub surface with
the proper brush or pad. Be sure the
surface does not dry before recovery of
solution. Recover solution with wet/dry
vacuum.
• Floor Machine when used for polishing
and spray buffing. Before either
procedure, clean the floor surface.
Polishing or burnishing is a dry
procedure. Use proper brushes or pads.
Spray buffing with either an aerosol
system or hand held trigger sprayer, the
spray buff solution should be applied
away from the machine. For best results
spray buff material should be buffed out
within two to three passes.
DAILY OR REGULAR MAINTENANCE
WARNING OF POTENTIAL INJURY MOVING PARTS: To Reduce the Risk of
Injury, Unplug before Servicing.
• Check the condition of the floor pad or
brush, replace when necessary. Pad
holders and brushes must be properly
