operator-ear sound pressure level for hand-guided floor
treatment and floor cleaning machines for industrial use.
All tests are performed in accordance with European
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
lOutdoor test area consists of a flat open space free
from effects of signboards, buildings or hillsides for at
least 15 m (50 ft) from the center of the test surface.
Indoor tests are conducted in a semi-anechoic or
sound deadening room.
lThe test surface is a single sheet of floor covering
at least 1 m (3.3 ft) wider and longer than the
equipment being tested. In order to not affect the
sound reading, the observer taking readings is at
least 2 m (6.6 ft.) from the equipment being tested, or
standing directly behind the operator.
lAll machines are tested while stationary and centered
on the test surface. With the traction drive in neutral

Filling the LP Cylinder
This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder,
which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel
cylinder meets European TPED specifications and
is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLY by a
qualified propane dealer. A properly filled cylinder
should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity. Do not
overfill the cylinder or use a liquid withdraw cylinder on
the machine. The use of a liquid withdraw cylinder on
a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and
create a fire hazard.
Installing the LP Cylinder
Place the cylinder on the cylinder platform at the back
of the machine. Connect the fuel hose coupling to the
service valve by turning to the right (clockwise). HAND
TIGHTEN ONLY! Make sure coupling is not cross
threaded and check for leakage by noting any propane
odors immediately after cylinder is connected. Finally,
secure the tank to the machine using the adjustable
strap. Remove slack by pulling on the loose end and
securing with the Velcro.

Ignition Switch
This machine features a key switch ignition.
Start: Turn the key all the way clockwise or START to
engage the engine starter motor. Once the engine
starts release the key.
NOTE: Always start this machine with the engine
throttle in the idle or “slow” position.
Run: This is the position of the key while the engine is
running.
Off: Turn the key to the “OFF” position to stop the
engine from running.
NOTE: For safety, always close the propane cylinder
valve to stop the engine and then turn the key switch
to the “OFF” position.
Engine Throttle
The engine throttle controls the engine speed. To
increase engine speed, move the hand lever forward.
For idle position, pull the lever back.
Hour Meter / Tachometer
The hour meter / tachometer records the number
of hours the machine has been powered ON. The
hour meter reading is used to mark recommended
maintenance intervals. It also displays the engine
speed. This meter displays hours when the machine
is turned OFF and engine speed when the machine is
turned ON.
Safety Bail
The safety bail must be pulled back in order for the
clutch to be engaged and the deck heads to rotate.
Engage: Press the top of the deck switch and pull
the safety bail back.
Disengage: Release the safety bail and press the
bottom of the deck switch.
Solution Control
The solution control cable controls the solution flow to
the floor.
Increase Flow: Pull the knob outward.

EcoSense Emission Monitoring System
EcoSense is an emissions monitoring device that
monitors the exhaust emissions and will shut the engine
down if the emissions levels are too low or too high.
The monitor must receive a signal from the oxygen
sensor in order to function. If it did not have a minimum
reading requirement it would be possible to disconnect
the oxygen sensor and operate the unit, even if the
emissions were out of limits. In order for the unit to work
as designed it must be able to read both low and high
signals, with “not to exceed limits” of both.
The oxygen sensor must reach operating temperature
before it will start to send signals to the EcoSense
module. This time is set at one minute. A unit may shut
down at a cold start up after one minute because the
oxygen sensor did not reach required temperature to start
to send signals. If this happens, turn the key to the off
position several seconds to clear the EcoSense module
and restart the engine. Once the engine has started,
advance the throttle to full throttle position and start the
operation. With the engine at full throttle under load,
the signal from the oxygen sensor should be within the
normal operating ranges for safe operation.
If the engine’s air intake filter needs to be serviced, or an
over-filled cylinder has been installed by mistake, or there
is a problem with the fuel system that causes the oxygen
sensor’s signal to be out of range, EcoSense will shut
the unit down in four minutes. The unit can be re-started
after clearing the module by turning off the key switch. If
corrections have not been made to the unit, EcoSense
will continue to shut the unit down after the one minute
warm-up and/or four minute out of limit periods.
Engines tend to go to lean burn if allowed to idle for even
short periods. Even at high idle speeds most engines
will continue to lean downward. It is always best to
shut the engine off when it is not being used to do work.
Remember the engine is always creating emissions as
long as it is running.
The best manner to operate a unit equipped with
EcoSense is as follows.
1. With the throttle in the slow position, turn the key
switch to the start position, once the engine starts,
advance the throttle to full throttle “fast”.
2. When ready to stop operation, release clutch (if
equipped) and move throttle to the slow position. If
the unit will not be used within one minute, turn the
key switch to the off position. If the unit will not be
returned to service within a few minutes it is best
to turn the gas valve on the tank off first and let the
engine consume all fuel that is in lines. Once the
engine dies, turn the key switch to off position.
3. When ready to restart, open the gas valve on the
tank, put the throttle in slow position and turn key
switch to the start position. Once the engine has
started, move throttle to full position and return to
operation.
SAFRTM technology monitors the pressure between the
air filter and the carburetor. As the air filter becomes
dirty, this pressure decreases. With SAFRTM technology,
this change in pressure results in a reduction in fuel
delivered to the engine. The net result is a Steady Air
Fuel Ratio regardless of the air filter condition.
Deck Switch
The deck switch energizes the clutch, allowing the heads
to turn when the safety bail is engaged.
Engage: Press the top of the switch. The green light
is ON.
Disengage: Press the bottom of the switch. The
green light is OFF.
NOTE: The safety bail must be pulled back for the

How the Machine Works
This machine is a propane hard floor machine. It has
two counter-rotating heads that are bevel gear driven via
a clutch and belt. The clutch is controlled by a switch on
the control panel and a safety bail on the handle. The
grinding / polishing heads are designed to accomodate a
variety of 3” diamond disks to grind and polish concrete,
marble, granite, terrazzo, or other stone floors. The
machine can also utilize brushes, pads, and numerous
coating removal heads. Any splash or dust generated is
controlled under the deck with a splash skirt.

LP Fuel Cylinder
This machine uses the 20 lb (9.1 kg) capacity cylinder,
which meets the D.O.T. 4E240 standards. These
cylinders are also listed by UL. In addition, the steel
cylinder meets European TPED specifications and
is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLY by a
qualified propane dealer. A properly filled cylinder
should not exceed 80% of the rated capacity. Do not
overfill the cylinder or use a liquid withdraw cylinder on
the machine. The use of a liquid withdraw cylinder on
a vapor withdraw system could freeze the regulator and
create a fire hazard.
Installing the LP Cylinder
1. Before bringing a propane cylinder indoors, always
check it for over-filling.
CAUTION! Always connect or change cylinders in a
well ventilated area.
2. Place the tank on the machine and secure with the
retaining strap. Remove slack by pulling on the
loose end of the strap and secure back to strap.
Connect the fuel hose coupling to the service valve
by turning clockwise. “HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.”
Make sure coupling is not cross threaded and check
for leakage by noting any propane odors immediately
after cylinder is connected. (It is sometimes easier to
install if the connection to the service valve is made
before strapping the cylinder in place.)
CAUTION! Always open service valve slowly to allow
pressure to equalize in hoses. Opening quickly may
cause the flow check valve to engage, limiting fuel
flow.
3. To remove the cylinder, reverse procedure.

Gearbox Maintenance
Check Gearbox Oil Level:
1. Push machine to level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Level the machine by raising or lowering the axle with
the “T-Handle” adjustment over the axle.
4. Place a rag underneath the drain port of each
gearbox to prevent oil from leaking onto the machine.
5. Loosen the oil drain plugs from front of the gearboxes.
If oil starts to leak out, then the gearboxes do not
need oil. If the oil does not start to leak out, add oil
(AGMA 5EP Gear Oil or equivalent gear lubricant)
until the oil level is just below the bottom of the oil
drain hole.
6. Add thread sealant to the oil drain plug, install in
gearbox, and tighten.
Re-Lubrication: Service life and efciency of gears and
bearings will be affected by oxidation and contamination
of the lubricating oil. Improved performance will be
obtained by periodic re-lubrication in accordance with
the following recommendations.
After an initial break-in period of approximately 500
hours, the gear oil in each gearbox should be completely
drained and replaced. Under normal conditions,
once the break-in oil has been changed at 500
hours, the drive should be re-lubricated at intervals of
approximately 2500 hours of operation.
Changing Gearbox Oil / Changing Gearbox:
1. Push machine to a level surface.
2. Turn off LP cylinder and remove it.
3. Remove weight plates from the front of the machine.
4. Rock the machine back by pushing down on one of
the foot pegs while pulling back on the handle.
5. Remove the Skirt from the machine (see the Skirt
section).
6. Remove the pad holders, brushes, or head
assemblies from the drivers by rotating the heads
toward the center of the machine (see Head Change
section).
CAUTION! ENGINE AND EXHAUST COMPONENTS
MAY BE HOT. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
WORKING NEAR THESE COMPONENTS.
7. Remove the left side cover plate by removing the (2)
1/4” bolts.
8. Remove the pulley cover by removing the (6) 1/4”
bolts
9. Remove the cap from the gearbox support spacer on
each head. Turn each head until the set screws align
with the access hole. Remove both of the two set
screws in each driver hub.
30
10. Remove the 1/4” bolt from the center of each driver
assembly. Remove the driver assembly from the
gearbox shaft. (Note: Slowly threading a 3/8”-16 X
4” Tap Bolt into the bottom of the driver assembly will
push the driver assembly off of the gearbox shaft).
11. Remove the drive belt from the gearbox pulley.
12. Remove the two 3/8” bolts that attach the gearbox
support brace to the gearbox assembly.
13. Remove the (8) bolts that attach the gearbox
assembly to the deck. (Note: Mark the gearbox
assembly so that it cannot be installed on the
machine backwards).
14. (Note: This step requires a hoist or the assistance of
another person.) Tilt the gearbox assembly toward
the front of the machine and lift off the deck.
Changing Gearbox Oil
1. Remove the oil plug from each gearbox (3).
2. Tilt the gearbox assembly over on its side so that the
oil can drain. (Note: Place a catch pan under the
assembly.)
3. After the oil has drained, turn the gearbox assembly
over on the other side so the ll ports are turned up.
4. Add 16oz. (473 ml) AGMA 5EP Gear Lubricant or
equivalent gear lubricant to each gearbox.
5. The oil level in each gear box should be just below
the bottom of the oil drain port when the gearbox
assembly is setting upright on a level surface.
WARNING! ALL GEARBOXES MUST BE FILLED
TO PROPER LEVEL WITH RECOMMENDED
LUBRICANT BEFORE OPERATION.
6. Install plug in each gearbox using a thread sealant
and properly tighten.
7. Dispose of used oil properly.
8. Check gearbox oil level every 100 hours and add oil if
needed.
31
32
Gearbox Replacement:
1. Remove the front gearbox mount plate from the
gearbox assembly by removing the twelve (12) bolts
from the front of the gearboxes.
2. Remove the shear pin from the coupling of the
gearbox being replaced.
3. Remove the remaining bolts that fasten the gearbox
to the rear mounting plate.
4. Remove the gearbox from the gearbox assembly.
5. Prior to installing the new gearbox, verify the oil
level by removing the oil drain plug. (Note: Refer to
Changing Gearbox Oil section for the proper oil level
and the recommended oil type.)
6. Attach the new gearbox to the gearbox assembly by
rst inserting the input shaft into the shear coupling
and then align the mounting holes with the rear
mounting plate. Start the bolts, but do not tighten.
7. Turn the gearbox pulley until the hole in the shear
pin coupling aligns with the hole in the gearbox shaft.
With the holes aligned insert the shear pin assembly,
but do not tighten.
8. When the gearbox is aligned with the center gearbox,
tighten the bolts retaining it to the rear mounting plate.
Then tighten the shear pin assembly to the shear
coupling.
9. Attach the front mounting plate to the gearbox
assembly using the twelve (12) bolts and tighten.
10. Turn the gearbox pulley to check for proper alignment
and verify the new gearbox is working properly.
NOTE: Use diagram to verify proper orientation of
gearbox asm.
11. Reverse steps 1-10 to reassemble the gearbox
assembly to the machine.
NOTE: When attaching the gearbox assembly to the
deck, make sure the gearboxes are seated properly
and centered on the gearbox support spacers.
NOTE: Apply Anti-Seize to the gearbox shafts prior to
installing the driver assemblies.
NOTE: Clean set screws and apply a medium strength
threadlocker prior to assembly.
Maintenance: Lash and end play should be checked
every time the drive is relubricated. If too much lash or
end play is felt, the drive should be inspected. Contact a
certied APEC technician.
Operating Temperature: During the initial break-in
period, the operating temperature of the unit should
not exceed 250°F (121°C). After break-in, the normal
operating temperature should not exceed 220°F
(104°C).
Machine Storage
Only authorized, trained personnel should have access
to propane cylinders and machines.
1. Remove propane fuel cylinder when not in use and
store it outside in a storage cage in accordance
with NFPA Handbook 58 CAN/CGAB149.2. Do not
release or bleed propane inside the building. Please
consult your local Fire Marshal to ensure that you are
in compliance with local fire codes.
2. Store machine away from objects that may fall and
damage it.
3. Never store machine or fuel cylinders near an open
flame or heat-producing device.
4. Make sure machine is cleaned properly before
storing.
5. Never store machine with cylinders installed, or store
spare cylinders in an enclosed van or trailer.
6. Store machine in a dry location, temperature not to
exceed 120°F (50°C).
Repacking the Machine
Refer to Unpacking and repack the machine using
original packing materials and container. Store

machine onto the truck or trailer.
6. Secure the machine with ratchet straps.
Transporting the Machine
When transporting a propane powered floor machine
with the fuel cylinder installed, the cylinder should be
securely fastened with the service valve closed and
the machine should be secured in the vehicle. Any
propane fuel cylinders not installed should be securely
fastened to avoid movement and damage. Never store
machine with cylinder installed or store spare cylinders
in an enclosed van or trailer. It is a good practice
to check propane cylinders for overfilling before
transporting them. If overfilled, correct before loading
them in the vehicle by venting the excess propane
outside in a safe area using the bleeder valve.

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations
The California Air Resources Board and Amano Pioneer Eclipse
Corporation is pleased to explain the emissions control system’s
warranty on your 2016 small off-road engine. In California, new

Your emissions control system may include parts such as: carburetor’s
or fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks,
valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components.
Also, included may be hoses, belts, connectors, sensors, and other
emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists,
Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation will repair your small off-road engine
at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage

emissions-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be
repaired or replaced by Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
(a) As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for
performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s
manual. Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your small off-road engine,
but Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation cannot deny warranty solely
for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.

the remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection

disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable
to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
