PREPARE THE MACHINE
FOR OPERATION
To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be sure the
handle is “locked” in the upright position (See picture #1). Lay
the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor, this
exposes the driving plate on the underside of the floor machine.
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 (build into the back of the
brush) over the three lugs of the driving plate. Turn the drive block,
brush or attachment counter-clockwise as far as it will go until it is
seated in the ready-to-use position. (See picture #2)
CAUTION: This is the only proper way to install a drive block,
brush or attachment. NEVER put a drive block, brush or attach-
ment 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.
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. 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 it’s back again and disengage clutch plate slots
from driving plate lugs by turning clockwise.
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
With the drive block and pad, brush or attachment in the ready-to-use
position, the handle locked at the desired operating height, and the
electric cable plugged in, place hands on the handle grips and squeeze
the switch triggers beneath the handle grips. (See picture #3)
This activates the motor and starts the block, brush or attachment in
operation. CAUTION: When leaving the machine unattended,
disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the “locked”
upright position to prevent accidental starting.
TO GUIDE YOUR FLOOR MACHINE
To Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle is lifted, the
faster the machine will move to the right.
To Left: to change direction, lower the handle until the machine
travels to the left. The more the handle is lowered, the faster the
movement to the left.
TO INSTALL THE OPTIONAL
SOLUTION TANK
Mount the solution tank to the front of the handle and attach with
mounting brackets and knobs. Position the solution tank control
handle horizontally and below the switch lever of the machine and
adjacent to the right handle grip.
Remove the plug from the motor housing and insert the (long)
extension tube adaptor and secure at bottom of machine with the
retainer. The solution tank should be used only with a showerfeed
drive block or brush.
