Your new Powr-Flite floor machine will afford you many years of trouble-free

operating satisfaction provided it is given proper care. Prior to packaging, your

Powr-Flite floor machine was inspected by a Quality Control Technician.

UNCRATING

Your Powr-Flite floor machine was protectively packed to prevent damage in

shipment. We suggest that upon removing the unit from its carton, you carefully

inspect it for any possible damage in transit. If damage is discovered, imme-

diately notify the transportation company who delivered your machine. As a

manufacturer, we are unable to act upon any claim for concealed damage; you

must originate the claim.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This machine is designed to be safe when used to perform the

functions specified in this Operator’s Manual. Should damage occur to electri-

cal or mechanical parts, Prior to further use, the machine should be repaired by

the manufacturer or competent service center to avoid further damage to the

machine or physical injury to user. Your floor machine is equipped with a safety

switch lockout device designed for your safety. Do not attempt to bypass or

defeat the safety lockout device. Never use any device to lock the power switch

triggers in the ON position.

PREPARING THE MACHINE

To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be

sure the handle is “locked” in the upright position. Lay the floor

machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor, this

exposes the driving plate on the underside of the floor machine.

Holding the drive block,

brush or attachment in both

hands and straddling the

motor with your back to the

handle box, bend over and fit

the three slots of the clutch

plate (build into the back of the brush) over the three lugs of the

driving plate. Turn the drive block, brush or attachment counter-

clockwise as far as it will go until it is seated in the ready-to-use

position. CAUTION: This is the only proper way to install a drive

block, brush or attachment. NEVER put a drive block, brush or

attachment on the machine by placing it on the floor and moving

the running machine over it, or by placing the machine over the

block or attachment and then starting the motor. Return the

floor machine to upright position and adjust handle to operating

position. Recommended handle position is close to the waist with

arms extended down. Lock the cam release lever into position.

NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not require

extreme tightening to effectively hold the handle in position.

Over-tightening will shorten the functional life of the lever. To

remove drive block, brush or attachment: Lay the floor machine

on it’s back again and disengage clutch plate slots from driving

plate lugs by turning clockwise.

HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

First install the pad driver and pad, brush or other attachments to

be used. Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle

to the desired operating height and lock in place using the cam

lever handle. Push the safety switch forward and squeeze the

switch triggers beneath the handle grips. This activates the

motor and starts the block,

brush or attachment in

operation. Each time you

release the triggers the safety

switch will reset. You will

need to follow the direction

above to restart the machine.

CAUTION: When leaving

the machine unattended,

disconnect the wall plug

and return the handle to the

“locked” upright position to

prevent accidental starting.

WARNINGS

WARNING: When disconnecting power cord from electrical

outlet, grasp the plug. Pulling it out by the cord itself can

damage cord insulation and internal connection to plug. To

prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug

from the electrical outlet before doing any repairs or

maintenance to this machine.

WARNING: To prevent injury, always remove the electrical

plug from the electrical outlet before changing the polishing

pad and before leaving the machine.

according to specifications.

WARNING: Keep the electrical parts of the machine dry. For

storage, keep the machine in a building.

WARNING: Always use a three-wire electrical system

connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection

against electric shock, use a circuit that is protected by a

ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult with your electrical

contractor.

WARNING: To prevent damage to the power cord, do not let

the pad, pad driver or wheels touch the power cord when

the machine is running. Always lift the power cord over

the machine.

WARNING: Make sure all labels, decals, warning, cautions

and instructions are fastened to the machine.

TO GUIDE YOUR FLOOR MACHINE

To Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle is lifted,

the faster the machine will move to the right. To Left: to change

direction, lower the handle until the machine travels to the left.

The more the handle is lowered, the faster the movement to the

left.

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE

Place the handle in the upright position. Lock the handle cam

release lever. Tip the machine back and transport on the wheels.

MAINTENANCE

Once a month remove the motor cover and vacuum out any

dust or debris which has accumulated on the motor. Replace

the motor cover by setting it over the holes in the housing and

replace all of the screws. Check and maintain the tightness of all

the fasteners.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the switch housing screws.

Keep the machine clean especially at the handle tube and collar

so the handle tube will move freely through the collar. Inspect

the cord for cuts, gashes, or loose prongs; replace as needed.

Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty. Improper

disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently

damage the field or rotor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Machine does not run.

The circuit breaker has tripped. Allow the circuit breaker 2

minutes to cool before resetting. Plug is broken or has loose

contact. Replace.

Prevent circuit overload.

Check the pad and change it if it is rough or dirty. Spray buffing

or spray cleaning is not a substitute for scrubbing or mopping a

floor. Prepare the floor surface before spray buffing. Eliminate

any extension cord that is smaller than 12/3 wire or greater than

25 feet in length. Unplug anything other than the machine from

the circuit or locate another circuit.

Machine will not start.

Circuit breaker is not reset. Reset breaker.

Plug is broken or has a loose contact. Replace.

Circuit breaker is defective or weak. Replace.

Switch is defective. Replace switch.

Machine will not reach operating speed.

Unplug anything else other than the machine from the circuit or

locate another circuit.

Motor runs but pad or brush does not turn.

Coupling is broken. Replace. Coupling is not covered under

warranty. Do not attempt to place a running machine over a block

or brush. Always install and remove the block or brush by hand.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This floor machine should be grounded while in use to protect

the operator from electric shock. This machine is equipped with

a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounded type attachment cap

plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or

green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.

Never connect this wire to anything other than the grounding

blade. The floor machine is provided with an attachment cap

plug, as shown in Sketch A, and is intended for use on a nominal

120 volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle, as shown in

Sketch A, is unavailable, an adapter, as shown in Sketch C, is

available and should be installed, as shown in Sketch B, if the

outlet box that houses the receptacle is grounded. Be sure to

fasten the grounding tap to the faceplate screw.

WARNING

TO AVOID FIRE, DO NOT USE WITH A FLAMMABLE

OR COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID TO CLEAN FLOOR.
