PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm.
Batteries also contain other chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer.
Wash hands after handling.
To check for the proper tightness squeeze
the belt together. The belt should depress
between 1/4" (0,6 cm) and 1/2" (1,3 cm).
Always use the recommended belt size.
To change belt:
1. Remove the pad holder by holding the
end of the shaft on the top of the machine
with a 3/4" wrench and turn the pad
holder counterclockwise.
2. Use the 3/4" wrench to turn the end of the
spindle shaft on top of the machine while
removing the old belt from the spindle
pulley.
3. Finish removing the belt from the engine
pulley, if necessary.
4. Check engine pulley for correct alignment
with the spindle pulley. Check hardware
attaching pulleys for proper tightness.
5. Install the new belt onto the engine pulley.
6. Reinstall the new belt onto the spindle
pulley using the 3/4" wrench to turn the
spindle clockwise. Make sure the belt is
correctly placed on the idler pulley.
7. Reinstall the pad holder onto the spindle
shaft.
8. Turn the machine upright in the
burnishing position.
9. Check belt for correct operation. Check
all hardware for proper tightness.
Adjusting the Handle and RokBak
1. With the engine OFF, loosen the handle
adjustment lever on the side of the
handle.
2. Move the handle to the full-up position
(about a 45° angle) and retighten handle
adjustment lever securely.
3. Lift up on the front of the deck, rocking
the machine back until it rests on the
handle grips.
Adjusting the Wheel Brackets
The burnisher is equipped with wheel
brackets that allow the wheels to be moved
forward or backward. To reduce weight on
the pad, the wheels can be moved forward or
to add weight, moved to the rear.
This feature aids the operator in adjusting the
machine for different types of floor finish. It
can also help in balancing the machine if a
steel tank is used in place of an aluminum
cylinder.
NOTE: Aluminum cylinders with safety
devices for overfill prevention are
recommended.
