Starting the Machine

1. Check oil and fuel levels.
2. Check and clean engine dust filter. CAUTION!
Never run continuously for more than 1 hour without
cleaning or changing engine dust filter.
3. Check carburetor air filter. Change if necessary.
(See "Scheduled Maintenance")
4. Turn propane service valve counterclockwise to
open. CAUTION! Always open service valve slowly
to allow pressure to equalize in hoses. Opening
quickly may cause the flow check valve to engage,
limiting fuel flow.
5. Allow machine to tilt backward (pad off floor) and
move throttle to SLOW (IDLE) position.
6. With the engine throttle lever in the idle position,
engage the starter by turning the key switch to the
starting position for approximately 5 seconds. If
the engine does not start, release the key switch
for 10 seconds, then try to start again in another 5
seconds.
7. After the engine has started, move the throttle
forward approximately halfway and allow the engine
to warm up for approximately 30 seconds.
WARNING! Catalytic mufflers require a few minutes
to warm up before effectively removing harmful
emissions. Make sure of proper ventilation during this
warm-up period!

Burnishing

1. After engine has started, allow approximately 30
seconds for the engine to warm up.
2. Advance the throttle to operating speed.
3. Lower the burnishing head to the floor while moving
the machine forward slowly.
CAUTION! Do not run the burnisher without moving
the machine. If the machine is allowed to run in one
spot, damage to the floor may occur.
4. To stop burnishing, push down on handle to raise
the burnishing head off the floor.
CAUTION! DO NOT add weight to the burnisher
head.
CAUTION! DO NOT lift up on the handle to add
pressure while burnishing.

Note: To not comply with any of the CAUTION!
statements could cause the engine to overheat and/or
damage the padholder or drive components.
Note: It is recommended to start burnishing on the
right side of the aisle, turn and come back down the
aisle in the opposite direction, overlapping the previous
path slightly. Continue this pattern until the floor area
to be burnished has been covered with the last pass
being on the right side of the machine. The forward
speed is generally at normal walking speed.
5. When done burnishing, push the machine to the
desired location. Turn off the LP cylinder service
valve. When the fuel is depleted and the engine
stops, turn the key switch OFF.
6. Remove the LP cylinder and store properly. Refer to
Refueling and Storage of Fuel Cylinders.

Idling and Stopping the Machine

DANGER! Allowing the engine to idle excessively will
increase carbon monoxide emissions!
To stop the engine, close the service valve on the fuel
cylinder by turning it clockwise (the engine will stop
when the fuel in the lines is used up). Once the engine
stops, turn the keyswitch off.
