2. Operate the machine on the actual floor with the
finish and pad you will be using. Notice the needle
position on the meter. For most jobs the needle
should be in the center of the green bar.
3. If the needle is not in the center of the green bar,
raise the pad head into the full up position and
locate the pad pressure knob under the rear frame
(Figure 10).
FIG. 10.
4. If the needle indicates too much pressure turn the
knob counterclockwise and repeat testing until the
needle is in the center.
5. If the needle indicates too little pressure turn the
knob clockwise and repeat testing until the needle
is in the center.
NOTE: Increasing pad pressure will improve shine but
it will also reduce battery run time.
ATTENTION: Do not adjust the pressure so the
needle runs in the right red bar. This will cause
the circuit breaker to trip.
6. If high performance is needed and run time is not
a consideration, adjust the pressure so the needle
runs in the higher (right side) of the green bar.
7. If long run time is needed, adjust the pressure so
the needle runs in the lower (left side) of the green
bar.

OPERATING
ZONE
Once initial pad pressure has been set:
8. If during use the needle moves into the right red
bar, it will cause the circuit breaker to trip. Allow
the pad motor to cool down and then press the
pad motor circuit breaker red reset button.
9. If the needle moves again into the right red bar
and the circuit breaker trips, the pad may have
become dirty and filled with finish. Turn the pad
over to a clean side or replace the pad. Then
reset the circuit breaker. To remove/change pads
see INSTALLATION .
NOTE: The operator should watch the pad meter
during operation and change the pad before the circuit
breaker trips.
10. If the needle drops into the left red bar, this
indicates the battery charge is low and recharging
is required. See CHARGING BATTERIES in the
Maintenance section.

BATTERY LEVEL METER

1. Your machine has a battery level meter located on
top of the control console. This meter has one
green bar and 2 red bars (Figure 11) :
GREEN BAR: The operating zone within which the
needle must read.
RED BAR TO THE RIGHT: Indicates the batteries are
overcharged or that the batteries are connected
wrong. If the needle runs in this area, turn the
machine power off immediately and call your
service technician.
RED BAR TO THE LEFT: Indicates the batteries need
to be recharged. See CHARGING BATTERIES
section.
