  • Page 2 This book has important information for the use and safe operation of this machine. Failure to read this book prior to operating or attempting any service or maintenance procedure to your Onyx machine could result in injury to you or to other personnel; damage to the machine or to other property could occur as well. You must have training in the operation of this machine before using it.

    This Owner's Manual/Safety Procedures Guide has been prepared for the promotion of educational purposes only and Onyx does not claim or assume any responsibility for the operator's actions or safety. To be completely aware of what local authorities may require, contact the Fire Marshal of your community.
  • Page 4: Engine Emissions And Co Safety

    All distributors, owners, and operators should be aware of the potential effects of CO and the methods used to prevent over exposure. Onyx Engineered Products is dedicated to our customers, their safety, and providing information, services, and products that meet those needs.
  • Page 5 Document Overview The information provided in the following overview has been condensed to provide the reader with a summary of the material presented. Potential Effects of CO Exposure • Work place/industry guidelines for CO exposure limits vary substantially from region to region (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for CO is 50 ppm, as an 8-hour time weighted average.
  • Page 6 Engine Emissions - and CO Safety Potential Effects of CO Exposure • Work place/industry guidelines for CO exposure limits • Definition of CO effects Work place/industry guidelines for CO exposure limits Limits for permissible exposure to CO vary substantially from region to region. City, State, and Industry requirements should be consulted prior to use of any equipment.
  • Page 7: Methods To Reduce The Risks Of Co Poisoning

    Methods to Reduce The Risks of CO Poisoning • Air Exchange and CO Diffusion • Application Considerations (Burnishing versus Stripping) • Air Quality Monitoring • Room Size and Time Estimations • Maintenance of Equipment • Safety Equipment Available Air Exchange and CO Diffusion The most reliable method to prevent CO Poisoning is to ensure all the CO produced is vented outside.
  • Page 8 Notice the CO concentration and the Effective Operating Zone with air exchange. The CO cloud is still concentrated in a small area. Note the "Dividing Zone" shown above, this is the line where airflow changes direction. In Model 2, air changes are cut in 1/2 as little or no CO crosses the Dividing Zone to be exhausted. Notice the CO concentration and the Effective Operating Zone (Expanded to the Dividing zone) with air exchange and forced air mixing.
  • Page 9 Air Quality Monitoring Warning - Deployment of a monitor/detector is essential for the safe operation of any equipment that has the potential to produce CO. CO sensors/detectors became available on the mass market around 1978. The main differences between the technologies involved are battery or electric and Semiconductor or Biomimetic types.
  • Page 10 Based on the CO production rates shown above the TWA would be exceeded in a 100 x 100 x 10 foot (empty) space after 3 hours with 2 air changes per hour. (Assumes no additional CO exposure during 8 hour time period) The Graph above depicts the relationships of air exchange to time and CO ppm with cubic feet area and percent CO emissions remaining constant.

    DANGER: Failure to read the Owner's Manual prior to operating or attempting any service or maintenance procedure to your ONYX machine could result in injury to you or to other personnel; damage to the machine or to other property could occur as well. You must have training in the operation of this machine before using it.
  • Page 14: Introduction

    The speed at which you walk will determine the results that you will obtain. Slower speeds create more heat and therefore more shine. ONYX recommends a moderate pace for best results and safe operation. NEVER RUN WITH THE BUFFER!! While a credible shine will still result, the danger of trying to stop the machine in an emergency situation is unacceptable.
  • Page 15: Propane Safety Information

    LOW OIL AND DIRTY OIL account for most of the other failures. ONYX recommends changing the oil on a regular schedule, perhaps exceeding that which is found in the engine manufacturers' manual. Checking the oil daily, before putting the machine to work, is a good habit to get into and could save you the downtime and expense of replacing the engine due to oil starvation.
  • Page 16: How To Operate The Machine

    Symptoms of a non-purge cylinder: • Relief valve opens due to over pressurized cylinder creating hazardous situation. • Moisture in the cylinder. • Buffer operates initially but shuts down when fuel mixture becomes too lean. Refilling & Storing Propane Tanks The NFPA Technical Committee prohibits the storage of such containers in buildings.
  • Page 17: Maintenance And Adjustments

    4. Ensure the buffer is tilted back so that the pad is off the floor on all machines without a clutch. 5. Engage starter for a MAXIMUM of 5 to 6 seconds or until the engine fires. Serious starter damage will result if this is exceeded and the warranty may not apply.
  • Page 18 General Maintenance and Adjustments 1. Fuel control system. To ensure personal safety, adjustments should ONLY be made by a qualified LPG system technician or an authorized service center, using an exhaust gas analyzer. Do not operate the machine if carbon monoxide levels exceed OSHA standards. 2.
  • Page 19 When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which at first, may seem too obvious to be considered. For example, a starting problem could be caused by fuel starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an unopened service valve. If you don't check for this, starter burnout could result.
  • Page 20 CLICKS ON 12 VOLT MODELS – The battery is likely low in charge. This can be remedied by recharging the battery using a 12 volt battery charger at 4.12 amperes. The battery is located under the frame at the rear of the buffer. The positive post is the one with the RED cable attached to it.

    Troubleshooting When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which at first, may seem too obvious to be considered. For example, a starting problem could be caused by fuel starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an unopened service valve. If you don't check for this, starter burnout could result. 1.
