DO NOT attempt cylinder repair. Return the cylinder to

your propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please note

that DOT regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders after

the cylinder has been filled with propane. When not in

use, cylinders should always be stored outside in an

upright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel mesh

storage cabinet. The cabinet may be located next to

the building, but with at least five feet (1.5 m) of space

between the cabinet and the nearest building opening

(door or window).

The cylinder to be used on this machine is a vapor

withdraw cylinder. A liquid withdraw cylinder is not

to be used with this machine. The use of a liquid

withdraw cylinder on a vapor withdraw system could

freeze the regulator and create a fire hazard. The

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard

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.

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.

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.

Pre-Operation Checklist

lCheck the engine oil level. Add oil if needed. Refer

to Maintenance.

lInspect the engine dust filter and clean off any debris

or dust buildup. Refer to Maintenance.

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.

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 efciency 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.

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

certied 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

Emission Control Warranty Statement

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

equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and

equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Amano

Pioneer Eclipse Corporation must warrant the emissions control system

on your small off-road engine for the period listed below provided there

has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your equipment.

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

This emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any

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.

(b) As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that

Amano Pioneer Eclipse Corporation may deny you warranty coverage

if your small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,

repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for

the remaining warranty period.

(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection

in the written instructions required by subsection (D) must be

warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (B2).

or replace as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty

coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty

must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as

replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions

required by subsection (D) must be warranted for the period

obligations of the manufacturer.

(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the

Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any

non-exempted add-on or modified parts will be grounds for

disallowing a warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable

to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a

non-exempted add-on or modified part.

(11) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall provide any

documents that describe that manufacturer’s warrant procedures
