these instructions:
a.) Lock handle in the upright position.
b.) Tilt the machine back until it fully rests on the
handle.
c.) Standing over the machine, remove existing
pad then center new pad over pad driver.
d.) Press pad against pad driver until the hooks
in the driver have set in the pad. See figure

or with a pad that is 3/8" or thinner.
WARNING: Never put yourself or let others be in
a position to get injured if the
machine should tip or fall, while
replacing the pad or changing
