4.0 Troubleshooting

Never operate this floor machine when the equipment is not performing as expected
or when any parts is visibly damaged. The cause and solution for some basic problems
are described below. When repair is needed, take the equipment to an authorized repair
service center.
4.1 The Floor Machine will not Run

Test with a working power cord. Lock the handle up and tip the
motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor and plug the motor into your working

removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you are sending power
directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, the problem is in the cord of the
handle assembly. Seek authorized repair services.

motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized repair service.
