THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL
!
USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a one 15
amp nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit.
The amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the
data label found on each machine. Using
voltages above or below those indicated on the
data label will cause serious damage to the
motors.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
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.

The handle adjust bar (86215130 - PRV
NO.14344) for the polishers are individually
preset at the factory for optimum locking
efficiency and minimum effort of engaging. It
should not be necessary to adjust the handle
adjust bar unless the relationship of the handle
adjust bar nut (86136360 - PRV NO. 57275) or
fixed clamp bolt (86136700 – PRV NO. 70692)
and their corresponding nuts (86136360 –
PRV NO. 57275) and washer (86010720 –
PRV NO. 87086) have been disturbed. The
handle can be positioned to be locked with the
handle adjust bar pointing either up or down.
In order to change the position the handle and
bolt must be removed and rotated 180
degrees. It is incorrect to make it lock opposite
from the way it was assembled by applying
more force to the nut. From the factory the
locking is in the up position when the machine
handle is locked. The pivot pin (86222560 –
PRV NO. 66334) on the handle adjust bar is
off center, in relationship of the screw to the
axis of the (see drawing). To adjust handle
adjust bar, tighten nut on handle while in the
locked position. The handle is locked when the
screw is to the outside of the machine and the
flat on the opposite side of the handle is flush
to the bracket.

1. To adjust handle lock, tighten nut on handle while
in the locked position. Optimum locking force and
ease of locking is accomplished when the locking
lever nut is set to a torque of 30 to 50 inch pounds
in the locked position.
2. Gap between clamp halves at the front should be
to the gap in rear when the handle adjust bar is
adjusted properly and in the locked position (gap
approximately 1/16").

!CAUTION
For indoor use only.
To prevent possible damage to the floor when
using the brush option, use water or other
approved cleaning solution while operating.
When using the pad option, always keep the
machine moving when in contact with the floor.
!WARNING
High starting torque. Hold machine firmly with
both hands.
1. Ensure that the pad driver or brush is installed
correctly and in good shape. Install or change
pad if necessary.
2. Plug the machine into a wall outlet as
described in the grounding instructions.
3. Lower the handle by unlocking the adjustment
handle and moving the handle into position.
Relock the handle when it is in a comfortable
position.
!WARNIN G
Insure that handle is locked in position before
starting machine.
4. Push the safety lock forward, unlocking the
switch levers.
5. With the safety lock forward, squeeze one or
both of the switch levers, turning the machine
on. (These levers can be operated
independently of each other). The safety lock
will not re-engage until both levers are
released.
6. To stop the machine, release both of the
switch levers.
NOTE: The machine is equipped with a circuit
breaker to protect the motor in the event an
overload condition occurs. The circuit breaker is
located on the rear of the motor. Push the reset
button to restart the machine. If the breaker trips
again, correct the cause of overloading before
proceeding.

OPERATION
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect power cord for wear. To prevent
electrical shock replace cords with frayed or
cracked insulation immediately.
2. Place machine in the storage position.
3. Check pad condition. Change if soiled o r torn.
PAD DRIVER INSTALLATION
1. Lay machine back, exposing the under side.
2. Place pad driver on the motor lug and rotate
clockwise until engaged. To remove, turn
counter-clockwise.
There are five different types of brushes available
to cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled
floors to polishing. A pad driver is also available to
take advantage of the many cleaning pads on the
market and further add to the flexibility of the
POLISHER.
Please refer to the following to assist in selecting
the proper brush or pad for the work at hand.
UNCOATED FLOORS
Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with
silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and
removes surface material.
Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit
suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions.
Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon
bristles on light solid applications.
Nylon is a general-purpose scrub brush with stiff
bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining
concrete, wood and tile floors.
FINISHED FLOORS
Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently
clean finished tile or terrazzo floors without
removing floor finish or floor material. Used for
washing highly polished or burnished floors.
Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications
on coated or uncoated surfaces.
White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing
to achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface
washing on highly polished or burnished floors.
Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty
scrubbing. When used with a mild detergent they
will provide surface cleaning without removing the
finish.
2-5
Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty
scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads
remove less finish than brown stripping pads, yet
will remove black marks, stains and dirt.
Brown Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and
complete removal of old floor waxes/finishes.
They will quickly remove ground in dirt, black heel
marks, and spills. When used with the proper
stripper, this pad leaves the floor clean and ready
for finishing.
Check pad wear to prevent
buildup of chemicals
Check pad driver system for
damage
Check handles, switches,
and knobs for damage
Store with pad off the floor
Check all bearings for noise
Check skirt/bumpers for
damage and replace as
necessary
Check overall performance of
machine
