6 Adjusting the handle height
Select the most comfortable handle height using the adjustment lever as previously described (see
Controls) and lock in position. 7 Operation
The normal movement of a machine in use is from side to side across the floor. This is achieved automatically by raising or lowering the handle whilst it is engaged in the normal working position. Lowering the handle thereby increasing the pressure at the rear of the brush/drive disc, moves the machine to the left. Raising the handle increasing the pressure on the front of the brush/drive disc moves the machine to the right. Effective cleaning and polishing is achieved by moving the machine in a backwards direction. Do not leave the machine standing on a brush or drive disc and pad when not in use.
7.1 Starting the machine
Fully unwind the supply cord from the handle
and plug into a convenient socket outlet. The neon indicator on the handle should light showing that power is available.
With the handle set at a convenient working
height and with both left and right hands on the handle, depress both interlock buttons with the
8
thumbs and squeeze both switch triggers to start the machine (Fig.3).
WARNING - Never start the machine without pads fitted.
Once the machine has started the interlock buttons should be released.
To stop the machine release both switch triggers.
Orbis 452/400 dual speed
The speed selector switch on the dual speed model is located on the motor housing. Ensure machine is switched off before changing the speed setting.
7.2 Polishing
Fit polishing brush or drive disc and pad
suitable for the speed of the machine and the surface to be polished. (see Accessories).
Apply polish to the floor in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
Do not keep the machine rotating on one spot
for more than 3 seconds, as this could cause overheating and damage the floor surface.
7.3 Scrubbing and Shampooing
For scrubbing or shampooing the solution tank must be fitted as described (see Fitting the solution tank).
Fit a brush or drive disc and pad suitable for the surface to be cleaned. (see Accessories).
WARNING - This appliance has been designed for use with the brushes specified by the manufacturer. The fitting of other brushes may affect its safety.
Fill the solution tank with water and an appropriate measure of detergent.
IMPORTANT - Use only cleaning agents suitable for automatic machines i.e. low foaming, and follow the chemical manufactuers’ directions regarding use, handling, disposal and health and safety provisions.
Before starting the machine release a liberal amount of cleaning solution from the tank to the floor. The flow of solution from the tank is controlled by moving the left hand lever. Releasing the lever stops the flow.
Proceed to operate the machine in the normal manner, releasing more cleaning solution from time to time as required.
Do not keep the machine rotating on one spot for more than 3 seconds, as this could cause overheating and damage the floor surface.
Dirty water should not be allowed to accumulate on the floor, it should be removed to prevent dirt from settling. We suggest using a suction dryer for this purpose.
When scrubbing/shampooing is complete, unplug the machine from the power supply,
empty the solution tank and clean and dry the machine.
IMPORTANT - Dispose of unused cleaning solution in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions.
7.4 Fitting the solution tank
NOTE - The solution tank is supplied as an
accessory item, complete with attachments and fitting instructions.
Move the handle to the upright position and clamp the tank support bracket to the handle tube in the specified position (Fig.4). (Refer to the instructions supplied with the tank).
Take the solution tank and pass the ring on the tank chain over the left hand operating lever and locate the ring in the inside slot on the top of the lever. Rest the solution tank on the support bracket with the handle tube in the groove on the back of the tank.
To secure the tank in position, engage the locking bar on the back of the tank.
Adjust the length of the chain by means of the screw and nut adjuster to ensure there is no tension on the chain when the flow control lever is not being used.
Take the plastic tube supplied and push rigid end of tube into the connector on the underside of the solution tank, and the other end onto the tube at the rear of the motor housing. The tank connector is of the sealed lock-in type once the tube is connected. To release, press down on the orange collar of the connector with the finger tips and pull out tube.
7.5 Removing the solution tank
Pull off plastic tube from machine base.
Raise locking bar on back of tank.
Lift off tank and detach chain ring from lever.
7.6 The vacuum unit
NOTE - The vacuum unit and vacuum skirt are
supplied as accessory items, complete with attachments and fitting instructions.The vacuum unit combined with the vacuum skirt provides full dust control, eliminating the need to pre-dust or post dust the floor. The unit is designed to fit readily to all Orbis models.
IMPORTANT - The vacuum unit is NOT suitable for any form of wet cleaning.
7.7 Fitting the vacuum skirt
Unplug and lay the machine down with the handlebar resting on the floor. Remove the brush or drive disc.
Stretch and fit the rubber buffer around the brush guard.
The flexible section of the skirt has a special spring sewn into the fabric. Fit this spring section into the groove in the rubber buffer.
9
The spring is a reasonably tight fit to prevent accidental movement in use and therefore must be pulled onto the buffer by stretching.
With the skirt on the buffer it can be moved in its groove to bring the hose connector to the rear, ensuring the base moulding lies in the cut­out provided in the outer ring of the skirt, enabling free movement when in use (Fig.5).
7.8 Fitting the vacuum unit
Stand machine upright, and clamp the vacuum unit support bracket to the handle tube in the specified position. (Refer to the instructions supplied with the unit).
Rest the vacuum unit on the support bracket with the control switch to the rear, and engage the locking bar on the back of the unit to secure it in position.
Push the flexible hose on to the vacuum unit and skirt.
Plug the electrical lead from the vacuum unit into the socket situated on the left side of the handle moulding.
The machine is now ready for use. The switch controlling the vacuum unit is located on the back of the unit. The OFF position is marked O.
7.9 Using the vacuum unit
IMPORTANT - For maximum suction the sliding shutter on the top of the unit must be closed.
Dust collected by the unit is contained within
the filter bag located behind the front cover.
To replace the filter bag, switch off vacuum
unit, release front cover catch and lift off cover.
Remove and dispose of used bag. Fit new
bag and replace front cover.
8 Storage
Always unplug the machine after use.
Wrap the supply cord around the handlebar
and cable winder ensuring that the plug is not trailing on the floor.
The machine should normally be stored with
the handle in the fully upright position.
Never store the machine with a brush or drive
disc and pad fitted as this causes distortion, and results in instability during operation.
Store the machine in a dry indoor area only.
9 Maintenance
WARNING - Before undertaking maintenance operations or adjustments switch off machine and
unplug from the electricity supply.
The machine requires minimum maintenance apart from the following checks by a trained operator.
Supply cord - Regularly inspect sheath, plug and cord anchorage for damage or loose connection. Only replace the supply cord with the type specified in these instructions.
Solution tank - Check water flow, if restricted inspect hoses and tubes for blockage or kinks. Dismantle control valve to clean if necessary. Check switch interlock for correct operation.
Vacuum unit - All dust bags must be changed regularly and hoses and connectors checked for blockage to avoid unsatisfactory results.
Motor overload cut-out - All machines are fitted with an automatic reset motor overload cut-out. The cut-out will operate to protect the motor from overheating by switching the machine off when there is excessive friction/resistance to the cleaning head on the floor. This is usually caused by the stickiness of the pad or floor. Turn the cleaning pad over or if both sides are dirty replace with a clean pad. It is not possible to obtain a good finish on the floor using a dirty pad. Should the cut-out operate it will reset automatically when the motor has cooled sufficiently, usually after 15 ­30 mins.
