Your machine is shipped ready for your operation,
with exception of fuel cylinder. For hazard and safety
issues, the cylinders are sent with no fuel. Prior to
operation have your cylinder filled at a reputable
propane dealer.
The fuel cylinder supplied with this machine is a
DOT 4E240 propane cylinder. Cylinders not branded
with DOT 4E240 on the top collar should not be
used. Never use a cylinder from a barbecue, etc. on
this machine.
The capacity of the 4E240 cylinder is 20lbs., 80% of
the total water capacity. Never overfill the cylinder.
BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE:
1. Check fuel cylinders: Check for overfill before
taking them into the building.
To check a cylinder for overfill:
a. Take it to a safe area outside.
b. Open the fixed liquid level gauge.
(bleeder valve)
c. Observe the gas from the valve:
1. If White cloud – Overfilled
2. If Clear vapor – Safe
d. If overfilled, allow to vent until vapor is
Clear in color.
2. Check Oil level: Check level prior to starting
engine and daily before using machine. Use
specified oil if necessary to add. DO NOT OVER
FILL OIL LEVEL, to do so may cause damage to
the engine, thus voiding warranty.
When checking oil refer to the specific engine
manufacturers instruction manual, as some
engines differ in correct procedure.
Use 10W30 oil.
3. Check Air Filter: Be sure the carburetor air filter
is free of dust/oil, etc. NOTE: Dirty filters is the
most frequent cause of elevated toxic emissions.
Check and clean recoil dust filter if necessary.
(see specific engine owners manual)
4. Check Pad & Pad Driver.
5. Adjust handle height: Use a 9/16 wrench to
loosen and tighten pivot points. Most find it
necessary to adjust the handle to “belt height”
for optimum control.
6. Install Fuel Cylinder: Take machine to a well
ventilated area. Check cylinder for overfill. (see
step 1) Install cylinder on machine with tank
strap. Connect the fuel cylinder to the machine
using “Rego” connection. Tighten “hand-tight”.
NOTE: Careful not to cross thread the Rego
connection. Open the service valve slowly. Be
alert for propane leaks. To remove cylinder
reverse the procedure.
STARTING PROCEDURES
Burnisher:
1. Tilt machine back on rear casters so pad is off
the floor.
2. Slowly open the service valve on the fuel
cylinder. NOTE: opening the service valve too
quickly may cause the excess flow valve to stop
the flow of propane. If this occurs, close the
service valve, wait a few seconds and re-open it
SLOWLY!
3. Push the throttle lever to the choke position and
engage the starter by using the start button.
(NOTE: If equipped with key switch, start by
turning the key) Do not engage starter for more
than 20 seconds at a time, allow 10-20 seconds
between attempts to start the engine.
4. When engine starts, ease the throttle back to
running position.
DO NOT run engine with throttle in the choke
position. Excessive harmful emissions will be
produced putting you and others in harms way.
5. Increase throttle to about ¾ and carefully lower
the machine pad to the floor while walking
forward slowly.
Optional: Electric Clutch
If equipped with and optional clutch, move throttle to
slow and engage the clutch by squeezing the
“trigger switch” on the operation handle. Move the
throttle to ¾ speed, slowly lower pad to the floor
while walking forward slowly.
