issues, the cylinders are sent with no fuel. Prior to
operation have your cylinder filled at a reputable
propane dealer.
! CAUTION
The fuel cylinder supplied with this machine is a
DOT 4E240 propane cylinder. Cylinders not branded
with DOT 4E240 on the top collar should not be
used. Never use a cylinder from a barbecue, etc. on
this machine.
The capacity of the 4E240 cylinder is 20lbs., 80% of
the total water capacity. Never overfill the cylinder.
BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE:
1. Check fuel cylinders: Check for overfill before
taking them into the building.
To check a cylinder for overfill:
a. Take it to a safe area outside.
b. Open the fixed liquid level gauge.
(bleeder valve)
c. Observe the gas from the valve:
1. If White cloud – Overfilled
2. If Clear vapor – Safe
d. If overfilled, allow to vent until vapor is
Clear in color.
2. Check Oil level: Check level prior to starting
engine and daily before using machine. Use
specified oil if necessary to add. DO NOT OVER
FILL OIL LEVEL, to do so may cause damage to
the engine, thus voiding warranty.
When checking oil refer to the specific engine
manufacturers instruction manual, as some
engines differ in correct procedure.
Use 10W30 oil.

is free of dust/oil, etc. NOTE: Dirty filters is the
most frequent cause of elevated toxic emissions.
Check and clean recoil dust filter if necessary.
(see specific engine owners manual)
4. Check Pad & Pad Driver.
5. Adjust handle height: Use a 9/16 wrench to
loosen and tighten pivot points. Most find it
necessary to adjust the handle to “belt height”
for optimum control.
6. Install Fuel Cylinder: Take machine to a well
ventilated area. Check cylinder for overfill. (see
step 1) Install cylinder on machine with tank
strap. Connect the fuel cylinder to the machine
using “Rego” connection. Tighten “hand-tight”.

MACHINE OPERATIONS
STARTING PROCEDURES
Stripper:
! CAUTION
This machine is only as fast as you allow it to be. It
is imperative that you keep the floor wet with
stripping solution while stripping and remove the
sludge quickly and completely. Rinsing thoroughly
before re-coating with sealer or floor finish.
1. Clear all areas of all displays. Remove any dust
and stickers from floor.
2. Prepare stripping solution according to
instructions on label.
3. Apply solution to the floor using a mop or other
method of application. KEEP FLOOR WET
WITH SOLUTION.
4. Allow 10 minutes or so for solution to penetrate
floor coating.
5. Using a “doodle bug” scrape the edg es clear of
floor finish.
6. Begin stripping with the machine. (one pass is
generally all that is needed).
7. Follow the machine with recovery of sludge and
damp mop. NOTE: rinse floor thoroughly.
Keep both models moving. Running the machine in
one place for more than a few seconds may damage
the floor.
! WARNING
Exhaust emissions contain harmful toxic gases. The
worst being carbon monoxide. Do not operate the
machine in confined areas for prolonged times.
Always make certain that adequate ventilation is
had.
! CAUTION
Never engage clutch in the fast run position or with
the pad on the floor, this may cause damage to the
clutch and the floor.
! WARNING
Be careful not to allow the machine to come in
contact with loose tiles or other obstruction on the
floor. The pad is turning at approximately 2000
RPM. If loose objects are hit by revolving pad they
could become dangerous missiles.
EMERGENCY STOPPING PROCEDURE
In case of an emergency, the machine can be
brought to an instant stop by:
1. Pull the throttle back to stop position or turn key
switch to OFF, if equipped.
2. Close service valve on the fuel cylinder.
3. If the machine is equipped with a “Kill Switch”,
activate the switch.
! CAUTION
The engine may backfire when stopped in this
manner.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Close the service valve on the fuel cylinder while
the engine is running. This serves to “purge” the
fuel system of all flammable gas.
2. Tilt the machine back on it’s rear caster and
allow the engine to run until it stops.
3. Turn the key switch OFF if equipped.
Do not leave the machine unattended while the
engine is running for long periods of time. If
necessary to leave the machine for short periods to
move a display etc. move the throttle lever to idle
position and tip machine back on the rear caster.
It has been the accepted practice to start buffing
from the right side of the aisles. Most smaller
machines are offset to the right to allow buffing close
on that side.
TRANSPORTING/STORING MACHINE
When transporting the machine from one site to
another, secure the machine with the fuel cylinder
installed and the service valve OFF. Allow the
engine to cool down some before loading the
machine for transport.
When storing the machine, remove the propane
cylinder and store outside. (see pg. 3-3 for Storage
of Fuel Cylinders) Perform all daily maintenance
procedures. Store machine in a cool, dry, secure
area where it will not be damaged by other traffic.
Tilt the machine back on the rear caster with the pad
off of the floor.

MACHINE OPERATIONS
REFUELING/STORING CYLINDERS
The following information refers to regulations within
the United States of America and Canada. For other
countries, the owner must assure that the required
regulations are met.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has
established standards for the storage and handling
of liquefied petroleum gasses. This standard is
NFPA 58.
Liquefied propane will expand 270 times into
flammable vapor, which is used as fuel for propane
engines. Proper training is recommended for those
operating propane powered machines in order to
limit the hazards related to the handling and storage
of propane fuel cylinders.
REFUELING
The capacity of the 4E240 cylinder is 20lbs., 80% of
the total water capacity. Never overfill the cylinder.
Have the cylinder filled at a reputable propane
dealer.
Do not attempt to repair a propane cylinder yourself.
Return the cylinder to your propane dealer for
authorized service.
STORING
Propane fuel cylinders whether full or empty should
be stored outside the building in a secure cylinder
storage cabinet in accordance with NFPA 58 5-4.2.1
! CAUTION
Vertical Propane fuel cylinders must always be
stored in a vertical position. This position assures
that the discharge from the pressure relief valve or
other items will be largely vapor and not liquid which
will expand to 270 times to flammable vapor.
The manufacturer reminds you that the fuel
cylinders should be removed from the machine
and placed in the proper storage cabinets
outside the building.
NOTE: Local authorities may have additional
requirements for storage of fuel cylinders. Always
check with the local authorities for these additional
requirements.
