MACHINE COMPONENTS

Engine
The Commander is equipped with an engine specially
manufactured to use LP (propane) gas as the fuel
source. The engine manufacturer and size
(displacement) may vary. Observe the name on the
engine and refer to the manual provided by the engine
manufacturer.
Fuel Tank
The Commander is equipped with a "vapor" withdrawal
type fuel tank with a fuel gauge. It is referred to as a
20 lb. (9Kg.) tank. Empty and full weights are stamped
on the side of the tank. Do not use other tanks.
Solenoid Valve and Pressure Regulator
The solenoid valve is an electrical control that stops the
flow of LP (propane) gas when the key switch is turned
off. The pressure regulator controls the amount and
pressure of the LP (propane) gas flowing to the engine.
This regulator is preset by the engine manufacturer and
is not adjustable.
Adjustments and repairs to the propane fuel system can
only be made by a properly trained, and certified
Service Technician.
Improper adjustments will cause increased toxic
emissions of carbon monoxide and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Battery
The Commander is equipped with a 12-volt
maintenance free starting battery that requires no water
additions.
A built-in engine charging system maintains the charge.
Pad Driver System
The Commander's flexible pad driver is powered by a
single "V" belt and pulley system. An electric clutch
transfers the power of the engine to the belt and pulley
system.
Pad Driver
The Commander is equipped with a flexible pad
driver with a screw on pad holder. Use approved
85 dB(A)
hair or synthetic type pads.
Consult your local NSS authorized distributor for
85 dB(A)
more complete pad application advice.
Units with Dust Control System
2
1.6 m/s
Weekly, check vacuum hose connections at the
Flexiwall Shield and cloth filter bag. When the filter
2
1.95 m/s
bag is more than one-half (1/2) full it needs to be
emptied, remove the bag, shake out the dirt, and
replace the bag back in the machine. Inspect the
Flexiwall Shield for dents, cracks, wear, and dirt.
A damaged Flexiwall Shield will greatly reduce the
burnishing and dust control capabilities. Dirt build up
on the flexiwall shield should be removed.
Control Handles
The Commander has two (2) bicycle type handles for
the operator to control the direction of the machine.
Operating the Electric Clutch
The Commander is equipped with an electric clutch.
Move the throttle to the slow position, engage the
clutch by squeezing the "trigger switch" on the
operation handle. Move the throttle to the 3/4's
speed position, slowly lower the pad to the floor while
slowly walking forward.
Caution
in the fast run position, or with the pad on the floor,
this may cause damage to the clutch and the floor!
Key Switch
This machine is equipped with a 12-volt electric
starter. Below the control handle is the key switch
that turns the engine on and off.
Hour Meter
On the right side of the chassis is the hour meter.
This meter records the time (hours) that the motor is
running. This time record is very critical to the
performance of scheduled maintenance procedures.
Do not attempt to modify or disconnect this meter.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Various levels of carbon monoxide are present in the
exhaust gases of all internal combustion engines.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and
tasteless gas.
WARNING
produce excessive levels of carbon monoxide.
Excessive levels of carbon monoxide can make you
sick or cause death.
