ADJUSTMENTS
HANDLE CAM LOCK ADJUSTMENT
With the handle cam lock in the "up" position (unlocked), tighten
the adjusting nuts until there is a slight drag when the handle
is raised or lowered.The tube should be locked securely when
the handle lock is pressed downward (Fig. 7).

GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION

• Your floor machine is a very sensitive, powerful unit. When
in operation, it should be guided gradually and smoothly
without sudden or rough motions.You will want to practice
with your machine on a smooth surface first until you have
experience in operating it.
• For ease of operation, always keep the brush or pad surface
level, balanced and flat on the floor at all times.
• Always adjust the operating handle to a comfortable height
at which the brush or pad surface is balanced before
starting the machine.
(see "Handle Adjustment" Page 5)
• Your floor machine will operate differently on various
surfaces. For example, there will be much more resistance
when the machine is used with a brush on carpeted
surfaces than when it is used with a pad on a smooth
surface. The operator should be prepared to adjust for
these differences.
• BEGIN OPERATING THE FLOOR MACHINE WITH THE
BRUSH OR PAD SURFACE LEVEL, BALANCED AND
FLAT ON THE FLOOR.
• To move the machine to the right, slowly apply slight upward
pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine to the left, slowly apply slight
downward pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine forward or backward, keep brush or
pad flat on the floor and push or pull machine in the desired
direction.
DO NOT LET THE MACHINE REST ON THE PAD OR BRUSH
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. This may alter the
shape of the pad or brush which may cause the machine to
wobble.
