MACHINE OPERATION ENGAGE MOTOR To engage motor, pull back on either/both of the grip switches. DISENGAGE MOTOR To disengage motor, release both grip switches. UNDERSTANDING BATTERY DISCHARGE When the machine is configured with a single battery, the discharge is straight-forward and intuitive: the single battery will be discharged and then must then be recharged when it is depleted.
MACHINE OPERATION When machine is returned to operator position, the tilt switch will deactivate and machine will become powered on, equivalent to turning the key switch on. Note: Only fully rocking the machine back (such that the grips contact the floor) will activate the tilt switch.
MACHINE OPERATION Best practices for battery charging: 1. Charge the batteries immediately after every use, even if the depletion was minimal. 2. Leave the battery plugged in until next use. The charger will monitor the battery and will not over- charge it.
MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS Note: Consider the pad size when determining the appropriate pad speed. The higher range of pad speed is appropriate for a 21” or 24” pad, but is likely not appropriate for a 27” pad. CAUTION: Although increased pad speed can improve burnishing performance in some conditions, make sure you do not exceed the speed recommended by the pad manufacturer, as this could lead to damaged pads or short pad life.
MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS For the purpose of clarity, the following terms will be used in this section: Forward = closer to the front of the machine Rearward = closer to the rear of the machine Up = closer to the sky Down = closer to the ground Left = the left side when viewed from the Operator’s position Right = the right side when viewed from the Operator’s position...
MACHINE TRANSPORT The machine includes a single rear caster for the purpose of machine transport. To transport the machine, lightly rock the machine back so that the pad & shroud are lifted off the floor and the rear caster rests on the floor.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE - ELECTRICAL Problem Potential Reason Solution Machine does not charge. Battery(s) is/are already fully charged. No action necessary. Use machine for a period, and confirm that machine properly re-charges battery. Loose or disconnected wire/connection, especially at Check wire connections, connect any loose or charger, charger splitter, or battery.
