Windsor L27H13 Machine Operations, Before Operating The Machine, Starting Procedures, Burnisher

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.

MACHINE OPERATIONS

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.
