1.0 Safe Operating Conditions
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING FLOOR MACHINE. KNOW THE
PROPER OPERATION, CORRECT APPLICATIONS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF
THIS EQUIPMENT BEFORE USE.
Reduce the Risk of Fire, Electric Shock or
Injury:
This• oor machine is designed for indoor use only. Do
not use outdoors. Do not expose to rain.
Do not wash the motor with owing water. If the motor •
gets wet, seek authorized service.
Keep the vents on this air-cooled motor free from debris. •
Do not operate with the motor covered or with vents
blocked. Do not use this machine as a oor sander.
Never operate this oor machine near ammable dusts, •
liquids or vapors. Never use ammable solvents as a
cleaning agent. Engine sparks and operating heat can
cause re.
Never handle electrical equipment with wet hands. Never •
operate this oor machine with bare feet.
Unplug the oor machine when not in use and when •
servicing the equipment. To unplug, grasp the plug not
the cord.
Do not operate a oor machine with damaged handle •
controls, cord or plug. If the equipment is not performing
properly, seek repair from a qualied service supplier.
This oor machine is constructed with electrical •
grounding at the plug. Operate only when connected to a
properly grounded outlet. See section 1.2 for grounding
details.
Prevent electrical cord abuse. Do not close a door •
upon the cord, drive equipment over it, or run the oor
machine over it. Do not expose the cord to hot surfaces.
Do not lift, pull or carry this oor machine by the cord.
Never operate the oor machine over sharp objects that •
can be thrown out and harm the operator and damage
the oor. Sweep hard oors before scrubbing or bufng.
Vacuum clean carpets before shampooing or bonnet
cleaning.
Train your staff in proper use of this oor machine.•
1.1 Electrical Power
This oor machine operates on a 15 amp nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit. The,
amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the motor spec label found on each oor
machine. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the spec label will damage
the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements.
1.3 Extension Cords are Not Recommended
The oor machine is built with a 50 foot (15 M) safety cord which plugs directly into an
approved outlet. Use of any extension cords is NEVER RECOMMENDED.
1.2 Grounding Instruction
This oor machine must be grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
This machine is built with a 3-wire cord and a
3-prong grounding-type plug (Figure 1) to t a
properly grounded receptacle.
Before using this oor machine, make sure a
properly grounded, 3-hole electrical outlet is
available. If not available, as in some older
facilities, use an adapter for connecting a
3-prong plug to a 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2)
to ground the outlet chassis.
IMPORTANT!! This adaptor may not be used
in Canada.
IMPORTANT!! Never cut off the grounding
prong for use in a 2-prong outlet. By doing so,
you have cut off your protection from electrical
shock.
Never assume that all 3-hole outlets are
properly grounded. Check before use.
Never assume that an adaptor connection
(as in Figure 2) is properly grounded. Check
the outlet with a ground fault interrupter
device which quickly indicated if a ground is
connected. Correct a faulty grounding before
proceeding.
