Tank: If the cleaning task requires a solution tank to be mounted onto the machine, you will note that the top and the
bottom of the solution tank has a tongue: these tongues should be placed into the recesses on the black quick release
tank holders mounted on the handle shaft of the machine. The bottom tongue lies in a partially covered recess whilst
the top tongue lies in a partially covered recess which is locked into position by a securing collar. The solution feed
tube can then be fed into either side of the machine where there is a solution feed hole. The chain mechanism which
actuates the solution feed must then be assembled into the bottom left hand lever as you stand behind the machine.
Adjustments may be made to put it in its normal position with the lever in a downward position and to make sure there
is some slack in the chain so as not to hold the solution valve open and continuously drain the solution from the tank.
Drive board and pads: Once you have selected the pad required for the cleaning task, it must be centrally mounted
on the drive board. The drive board is mounted into the machine by tilting the machine into its transport wheels and
allowing the handle to rest on the floor thus exposing the drive mechanism. The drive board may then be centrally
mounted into the drive mechanism and locked into position by turning it anti-clockwise. This can be checked by lightly
pulling on the drive board.
Brush: If the cleaning operation requires a brush, connect the selected brush to the drive mechanism in exactly the
same way as the drive board and pad.
Operation
Main connection: Return the machine to its upright position with either pad or brush suitably mounted on the drive
mechanism of the machine. Uncoil the cable from the machine and plug it into the nearest supply and switch on.
Adjusting the handle: After returning the machine to its upright position you will notice two black thumb slides on the
top of the machine handle and directly beneath, two levers. Beneath these two levers as you stand behind the
machine, are two long levers, the left hand lever is the solution control lever for when you have a tank fitted, and the
bottom right hand lever is the handle adjustment control lever. This lever should be pulled upwards and the handle
lowered to a comfortable working position, with your back straight and your arms slightly bent at the elbows. In this
position, lock the handle by releasing the adjustment lever. The adjustment position must then be checked by raising
and lowering the handle so that the locking pin engages in the adjustment gear. With a correct, comfortable working
height, the machine base should be parallel with the floor.
Starting the machine: With a comfortable working position, either the left or right thumb lever should be pushed
towards the centre of the handle and the respective lever on the underside of the hand grip pulled in. This will
immediately start the machine. The instant the machine starts the handle will try to move from left to right for a split
second: this is perfectly normal. With the machine running and the brush or pad flat on the floor the machine will stay
in a central position. The move the machine from side to side the handle must be raised or lowered very slightly. To
move to the right, raise the handle of the machine. To move to the left slightly lower the handle of the machine. The
speed at which the machine moves either left or right will depend entirely on the amount the handle is raised or
lowered. If you should feel at any time that you are no longer in control of the machine or that it is becoming difficult to
control, release the levers and the machine will stop. To master then efficient use of your machine we suggest that
you practice these exercises. When you have mastered the technique you will fin d that you can control the machine
very easily with no effort. If you should experience any difficulties in the operation of the machine, please contact
your supervisor. Depending on the cleaning task, check your floor pad regularly. If the floor pad becomes clogged or
dirty it will lose its effectiveness and the pad must be either cleaning by under a tap or simply turned over.
Speed selection (MS 17X2)
By operating on the push-button located on the handle's rear side, the device doubles its speed. Before proceeding
with this operation, please make sure to use a pad suitable for a rotation speed of 308 rpm. Once switched off, the
machine will always start from the lower speed, according to the usual starting procedure. The mode of operation is
identical for both speeds. It is always necessary to be more careful during driving movements at higher speed which
should be even softer because of the higher rotation speed.
End of use
At the conclusion of the cleaning task, it will be necessary to remove all accessories from the machine. If a tank has
been fitted, the solution must be drained from it and then the tank must be removed by removing the solution control
chain and solution feed tube, lifting the black collar, withdrawing the top tank tongue and lifting the tank from the
machine. Always rinse the tank after use. To remove the drive board, tilt the machine back onto its transportation
wheels and lay the handle on the floor and with the pad still in position twist the drive board clockwise. On new
machines, due to manufacturing tolerances, the drive board or brush might be a little sticky and require a firm hand to
release it from its coupling. Never leave a drive board or brush on the machine.
Cable cleaning: Return the machine to its upright position and wipe the cable as you are coiling it, checking for nicks
or abrasions that reveal the inner wiring to be reported immediately to your maintenance department. Prior to storing
the machine, always wipe away any accumulation of dirt and dust. After the machine has been cleaned and stored,
take any used pads and run them under a tap, ensuring that any residue, dust or dirt build-up is removed and then
hang them to dry.
Drive board storage: NEVER store the machine on its drive board as this will distort the drive board and make the
machine difficult to handle in the future.
Cable storage: Special attention should always be given to the cable. Always wind the cable around the bottom
cable hook and handle rather than looping the cable loosely around the machine handle.
Do's and Don'ts
Do read these instructions thoroughly before starting any cleaning operation
Do keep the machine clean and tidy.
Do rinse off all equipment, especially the solution tank if chemicals have been used.
