Operating Instructions
WARNING: Unplug cord from electrical outlet before servicing and when leaving unattended.
To Operate:
IMPORTANT - Always wear shoes when using your Low Boy.
Raise the handle pin release with foot.
Lean handle back. While handle is released and with both hands on handle grips, squeeze the ON/OFF lever located on the right grip to turn on.
To Attach the Drive Pad Holder or
Brush:
Lay the machine on its back to reveal the bottom pan. Align the indentations in the pad holder with the brackets around the bottom pan. Place your hands on opposite sides of the pad holder and using the heel of your hands, push the pad holder onto the pan.
Use the included key to rotate the swing arms clockwise to lock the pad holder to the bottom pan. Place a pad on the floor and position the machine so that as the handle is raised the pad holder is centered on the pad.
To Attach the Pad:
Lay the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor. This exposes the brush holder pan. Just place the pad over the round brush holder pan making sure it is in place.
CAUTION: NEVER put the pad on the machine by placing it on the floor and moving the running machine over it, or placing the machine over the pad and then starting the motor.
To Guide the Machine
Hold the handle with both hands and push with the palms of your hands to move in the forward direction, then cup your hands and pull to bring back. The design of the machine eliminates the fatigue associated with controlling other floor machines.
Care of your Oreck Low Boy Floor Machine
This is a precision machine. Dropping unreasonable bumping or rough handling may result in damage. Remove brushes after use. The bristles may be damaged due to the weight of the machine. Store your machine in the upright position. After each use, remove wax or cleaning solutions. After sanding, blow sawdust off motor and locking mechanism.
Lubrication: With the handle in its lowest position, periodically place one drop of oil
