2.0 Install the Handle
This machine handle (1) has been custom fit to its
mounting yoke (2) at the factory and then taken apart for
shipping. For easy assembly, make sure that the handle
number on the tag (see right) matches the serial number
stamped on the chassis.
You will need two 7/16" wrenches to complete the
assembly.
1.
Remove the handle and mounting hardware from
the carton. Bolts, nuts, washers, and the locking
lever assembly are in the plastic bag attached to
the handle.
2.
Position the handle (1) over the mounting yoke (2)
with the power cord (3) facing away from the motor.
Push the tube down until the bolt holes are lined up.
3.
Insert the mounting bolts (4) into the bolt holes
from the back of the machine. Secure each
bolt with a locking nut (5). The locking nuts will
face the motor.
4.
The handle mounting collar (6) is designed to
slide freely up and down the handle tube. This
feature allows the handle to be adjusted for the
comfortable operation of all users. Align the mounting
collar (6) and the two bent handle braces (7).
5.
Remove the lever assembly parts from the
plastic bag.
?
Place the thick spacer with a rectangular
hole (9) onto the locking lever shaft (8).
The spacer must fit onto the rectangular
neck of the lever.
?
Insert the shaft through the mounting hole in
the right handle brace, the mounting collar,
and the left handle brace.
?
Place a spacer (10) on the shaft.
?
Place the split washer (11) on the shaft.
?
Place the locking wing nut (12) on the shaft.
?
Adjust the wing nut for tightness. When
correctly installed, the collar slides easily when
the cam-engineered locking lever is "up", but is
firmly fixed when the lever is "down".

4.0 Troubleshooting
Never operate this floor machine when the equipment is not performing as expected
or when any part is visibly damaged. The cause and solution for some basic problems
are described below. When repair is needed, take the equipment to an authorized
repair service center.
4.1 Floor machine will not run
-
Circuit breaker tripped in building. Check and reset.
-
Equipment unplugged. Check plug at wall and at machine base. Plug in.
-
Power cord failure. Test with a working power cord. Lock the handle up and
tip the motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor and plug the motor into
your working power cord.
IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you have
removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you are sending
power directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, the problem is in the
cord or the handle assembly. Authorized repair service will repair or
replace cord.
-
If the motor still does not spin after testing the cord, the problem is either
in the male connection at the motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized
motor repair service.
-
Motor sparks or smokes. Seek authorized repair service.
4.2 Electrical shock to operator
-
Equipment wiring failure or electrical short in the machine. Seek authorized
service.
-
Poor grounding or no grounding. Test the outlet with a ground fault
interrupter. Retain a certified electrician to inspect and repair grounding.
NEVER clip off the ground plug on your cord.
-
Repeated circuit breaking. High amp draw and circuit breaking can be an
electrical or mechanical problem. Seek authorized repair service.
4.3 High Vibration
-
Pad not centered. Tip machine back and re-center the pad.
-
Unevenly wear or warp to pad or brushes. Replace.
-
Machine chassis damaged by dropping. Replace.
