STARTING PROCEDURES
Stripper:
This machine is only as fast as you allow it to be. It
is imperative that you keep the floor wet with
stripping solution while stripping and remove the
sludge quickly and completely. Rinsing thoroughly
before re-coating with sealer or floor finish.
1. Clear all areas of all displays. Remove any dust
and stickers from floor.
2. Prepare stripping solution according to
instructions on label.
3. Apply solution to the floor using a mop or other
method of application. KEEP FLOOR WET
WITH SOLUTION.
4. Allow 10 minutes or so for solution to penetrate
floor coating.
5. Using a “doodle bug” scrape the edges clear of
floor finish.
6. Begin stripping with the machine. (one pass is
generally all that is needed).
7. Follow the machine with recovery of sludge and
damp mop. NOTE: rinse floor thoroughly.
Keep both models moving. Running the machine in
one place for more than a few seconds may damage
the floor.
Exhaust emissions contain harmful toxic gases. The
worst being carbon monoxide. Do not operate the
machine in confined areas for prolonged times.
Always make certain that adequate ventilation is
had.
Never engage clutch in the fast run position or with
the pad on the floor, this may cause damage to the
clutch and the floor.
Be careful not to allow the machine to come in
contact with loose tiles or other obstruction on the
floor. The pad is turning at approximately 2000
RPM. If loose objects are hit by revolving pad they
could become dangerous missiles.
EMERGENCY STOPPING PROCEDURE
In case of an emergency, the machine can be
brought to an instant stop by:
1. Pull the throttle back to stop position or turn key
switch to OFF, if equipped.
2. Close service valve on the fuel cylinder.
3. If the machine is equipped with a “Kill Switch”,
activate the switch.
The engine may backfire when stopped in this
manner.
STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Close the service valve on the fuel cylinder while
the engine is running. This serves to “purge” the
fuel system of all flammable gas.
2. Tilt the machine back on it’s rear caster and
allow the engine to run until it stops.
3. Turn the key switch OFF if equipped.
Do not leave the machine unattended while the
engine is running for long periods of time. If
necessary to leave the machine for short periods to
move a display etc. move the throttle lever to idle
position and tip machine back on the rear caster.
It has been the accepted practice to start buffing
from the right side of the aisles. Most smaller
machines are offset to the right to allow buffing close
on that side.
TRANSPORTING/STORING MACHINE
When transporting the machine from one site to
another, secure the machine with the fuel cylinder
installed and the service valve OFF. Allow the
engine to cool down some before loading the
machine for transport.
When storing the machine, remove the propane
cylinder and store outside. (see pg. 3-3 for Storage
of Fuel Cylinders) Perform all daily maintenance
procedures. Store machine in a cool, dry, secure
area where it will not be damaged by other traffic.
Tilt the machine back on the rear caster with the pad
off of the floor.
