Machine Preparation

Adding Oil
When the burnisher is shipped by overland
freight, the correct amount of oil is in the
engine. Air freight shipments require the
machine to be shipped without oil.
When filling a "dry" burnisher or changing oil,
for the Kawasaki engine add no more than
1.6 quarts (1,5 L) when not changing the oil
filter, or 1.8 US quarts (1,7 L) when the oil
filter is changed, then check the dipstick in
the fill cap. Add oil if necessary but DO NOT
OVERFILL! ALWAYS CHECK OIL BEFORE
USING THE MACHINE. Refer to the engine
manual.
IMPORTANT: When checking oil on
Kawasaki models, remove oil filler cap and
clean dipstick with clean cloth, then insert
4
dipstick into tube without screwing in. Then
check oil level. ALWAYS make sure the
machine is sitting level when checking oil.
Connecting the Battery
For machines with 12 V Start:
1. Connect the RED positive battery cable
FIRST.
2. Connect the BLACK negative battery
cable LAST.
Adjusting the Handle and RokBak
The burnisher handle adjusts for comfort and
optimum control. Height may be changed to
suit the individual operator. The handle may
also be adjusted to an full-up (about 45°)
position to allow the burnisher to be rocked
back for easy pad change. Rock the
burnisher to the vertical position from the
front of the unit. The burnisher must be off
prior to using the RokBak Tilt System.
Propane Burnisher
Daily Start-Up Routine
CHECK CYLINDER: Before bringing a
propane cylinder indoors, always check it
for over-filling.
ATTACH CYLINDER: Connect the fuel hose
to the valve nozzle by turning it to the
right. Hand tighten only to avoid leaks.
Place the tank on the machine and
secure by buckling the retaining strap.
Remove slack by pulling on the loose end
of the strap and securing with velcro.
Connect the fuel hose coupling to the
service valve by turning clockwise. HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY. Make sure coupling is
not cross threaded and check for leakage
by noting any propane odors immediately
after cylinder is connected. (It is
sometimes easier to install if the
connection to the service valve is made
before strapping the cylinder in place.)
TO REMOVE THE SAFE-FILL
CYLINDER, reverse procedure. Always
connect or change cylinders in a well
ventilated area.
ALIGN PIN: Make sure to align the locating
pin with the slot in the top flange of the
Safe-Fill cylinder.
ADJUST TOGGLE: Strap the Safe-Fill
cylinder in place by clamping the toggle
assembly to the cylinder band. Adjust the
toggle assembly by screwing it in or out
to keep the cylinder firmly in place.
CLEAN FILTER: The recoil dust filter should
be cleaned or replaced after each use of
the burnisher and after each hour of
continuous operation. A dirty filter can
cause the engine to overheat and carbon
monoxide emissions could elevate.
CHECK OIL: Make sure the burnisher is
level when checking the oil. Follow
engine manufacturer's procedure for
checking the oil as detailed in the
operation manual. The oil level should
always be within the safe levels indicated
on the dip stick. Add oil if necessary, but
never over-fill. Over-filling could cause
irreparable damage to the engine.
CHECK PAD: Clean the pad if it is dirty or
replace it if it is torn or worn thin (less
than 1/8" or 32mm). Having a clean pad
in good condition is essential to
burnishing performance.
CHECK STUDS: Check the velcro studs.
Clean if necessary and replace worn or
broken studs.
CHECK PAD HOLDER: Check the pad
holder for cracks. Replace if necessary.
DEFLECTOR: Check the exhaust deflector.
Make sure the deflector is aligned
correctly and functioning properly to
prevent hot motor exhaust from damaging
merchandise.
BELT TENSIONER: Check the tensioner
belt. Replace belt if it is frayed or
cracked.
MAINTENANCE LOG: Record the daily
maintenance routine. Fill in the date in the
left hand column, put your initials in the
next column and use check marks in all
columns which correspond to the
maintenance procedures performed.
Optional EcoSense
Emissions Monitoring
System
Machines with model numbers ending in "X"
are equipped with the EcoSense Emissions
Monitoring System. EcoSense is an
emissions monitoring device that monitors
the exhaust emissions and will shut the
engine down if the emissions levels are too
low or too high.
Why will the unit shut down if the levels are
too low? The monitor must receive a signal
from the oxygen sensor in order to function. If
it did not have a minimum reading
requirement it would be possible to
disconnect the oxygen sensor and operate
the unit, even if the emissions were out of
limits. In order for the unit work as designed it
must be able to read both low and high
signals, with "not to exceed limits" of both.
The oxygen sensor must reach operating
temperature before it will start to send signals
to EcoSense module. This time is set at forty-
five seconds. A unit may shut down at a cold
start up after the forty-five seconds because
the oxygen sensor did not reach required
temperature to start to send signals. If this
happens, turn the key to the off position
several seconds to clear the EcoSense
module and restart the engine. Once the
engine has started, advance the throttle to
full throttle position and start the operation.
With the engine at full throttle under loan, the
signal from the oxygen sensor should be
within the normal operating ranges for safe
operation. If the engine's air intake filter
