ASSEMBLY
 This machine is packed to enable the user to
simply remove it from the carton, attach the pad or
brush, plug in the machine and be ready to
operate.
OPERATION
Preparing the Machine for Use
 With the handle locked in the upright position, tilt
the machine back, exposing the underside of the
machine.
 Attach the brush or pad driver to the lugs on the
gearbox by rotating the pad driver or brush
counterclockwise.
 To adjust the handle position, put the machine into
an upright position, resting the pad or brush on the
floor. Lift the handle lock (the black grip near the
base of the handle) to allow the handle to move
freely. Adjust the handle to a comfortable
operating position (just below belt height), then
push the locking lever down with your foot to lock
the handle in this position. Should the lock lever
not tighten securely to the handle tube, see "Lock
Lever Adjustment" in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
 Always check to see that the dead man or switch
lever lockout located at the top and center of the
handle is in the "OFF" (up) position and not stuck
or malfunctioning in the "ON" (down) position
before plugging in machine.
 Plug the cord into the wall outlet.
Running the Machine
 To start the machine, grip the handles with both
hands and raise the handle slightly to balance the
machine. Then push down on the lockout with the
thumb of one hand, and with the other hand
squeeze the switch lever.
CAUTION: The machine will start operating when
the switch lever is squeezed.
 Raise the handle slightly to propel the machine
75 dB(A)
to the right, Lower the handle slightly to propel
the machine to the left.
70 dB(A)
 Begin operating the machine at a point closest to
an electrical outlet, then working away from the
68 dB(A)
outlet. This will prevent running over the
electrical cord.
Stopping the Machine
 WITHOUT LETTING GO OF THE HANDLE,
2
1.99 m/s
release the switch levers to stop the machine.
CAUTION: This machine will continue to rotate for
2
.988 m/s
1-2 seconds once the switch levers are released.
When the machine comes to a complete stop,
2
1.79 m/s
UNPLUG THE MACHINE.
 Release the handle lock, raise the handle to an
upright position, and lock the handle.
 Tilt the machine back and remove the pad driver
or brush by rotating it clockwise.
 ALWAYS remove the pad driver or brush when
the machine is not in operation. The pad driver
or brush should be hung on a peg, or laid flat on
its back.
 NEVER store a pad driver or brush with the
bristles down. This will ruin the balance of the
pad driver or brush, which will cause the
machine to wobble.
SURFACE CONSIDERATIONS
Brush or Pad Driver
Select the appropriate brush or pad driver and
pad for the type of floor to be scrubbed or
polished, and the operation being performed.
Carpet
When scrubbing carpeting with a brush, pad or
bonnet mop, the carpet must stay wet enough to
lubricate the brush, pad, or bonnet mop,
otherwise overload of the motor will result.
Marble, Concrete, or Terrazzo
Optional weights may be used (on Thoroughbred
models only) to increase the pressure on the floor
(See the accessories page included in the
Illustrated Parts List for details). The first weight
must be bolted on to the machine. Additional
weights can then be added by simply slipping
them onto the pins of the first weight then
securing them with the wing nuts.
Overload
For Thoroughbred and Mustang models, attention
must be given to ensure the motor is not run in an
overload condition.
