TO INSTALL THE OPTIONAL  
SOLUTION TANK  
Mount the solution tank to the front of the handle and attach with  
mounting brackets and knobs. Position the solution tank control  
handle horizontally and below the switch lever of the machine and  
adjacent to the right handle grip.  
Remove the plug from the motor housing and insert the (long)  
extension tube adaptor and secure at bottom of machine with the  
retainer. The solution tank should be used only with a showerfeed  
drive block or brush.  
WARNING  
To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plug from the  
electrical outlet before changing the polishing pad and before  
leaving the machine.  
PREPARE THE MACHINE  
FOR OPERATION  
Picture #1  
To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be sure the  
handle is “locked” in the upright position (See picture #1). Lay  
the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor, this  
exposes the driving plate on the underside of the floor machine.  
Holding the drive block, brush or attachment in both hands and  
straddling the motor with your back to the handlebox, bend over  
and fit the three slots of the clutch plate (build into the back of the  
brush) over the three lugs of the driving plate. Turn the drive block,  
brush or attachment counter-clockwise as far as it will go until it is  
seated in the ready-to-use position. (See picture #2)  
CAUTION: This is the only proper way to install a drive block,  
brush or attachment. NEVER put a drive block, brush or attach-  
ment on the machine by placing it on the floor and moving the  
running machine over it, or by placing the machine over the block  
or attachment and then starting the motor.  
Return the floor machine to upright position and adjust handle to  
operating position. Recommended handle position is close to the  
waist with arms extended down. Lock the cam release lever into  
position.  
NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not require  
extreme tightening to effectively hold the handle in position.  
Over-tightening will shorten the functional life of the lever. To  
remove drive block, brush or attachment: Lay the floor  
machine on its back again and disengage clutch plate slots  
from driving plate lugs by turning clockwise.  
Picture #2  
HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE  
With the drive block and pad, brush or attachment in the ready-to-use  
position, the handle locked at the desired operating height, and the  
electriccablepluggedin, placehandsonthehandlegripsandsqueeze  
the switch triggers beneath the handle grips. (See picture #3)  
This activates the motor and starts the block, brush or attachment in  
operation. CAUTION: When leaving the machine unattended,  
disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the “locked”  
upright position to prevent accidental starting.  
Picture #3  
TO GUIDE YOUR FLOOR MACHINE  
To Right: raise handle slightly. The higher the handle is lifted, the  
faster the machine will move to the right.  
To Left: to change direction, lower the handle until the machine  
travels to the left. The more the handle is lowered, the faster the  
movement to the left.  
Switch Trigger  
 
The condition of the floor pad or brush has a direct affect on the  
performance of your floor machine. When the pad becomes dirty,  
turn it over and use the other side. When finished, wash the pad  
or brush and allow it to dry completely before using it again.  
Stand the wet brush on the bristles until dry, then hang up the  
brush.  
Do not store the machine with the drive block, pad or  
brush on the machine.  
Wipe off the machine housing and wheels to prevent build-up of  
unnecessary residue.

APPLICATION OF THE DUAL SPEED  
175/320 RPM MACHINES  
and P172  
(MODELS P202 and P172)

Replace the motor cover by setting it over the holes in the hous-  
ing and firmly pushing it down.  
The Powr-Flite® dual speed machines will operate in a broad  
range of applications. These machines perform all the applications  
of the 175 RPM standard speed machines and the 300 RPM high  
speed machines except the specialized applications.  
Do not use dual speed machines for sanding, grinding or  
scraping.  
Check and maintain the tightness of all the fasteners.  
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the switch housing screws.  
The dual speed machines are specially designed for spray cleaning  
of heavy traffic areas.

OPERATION OF THE DUAL SPEED  
MACHINES  
Follow the operation procedures described for 175 RPM machines.  
The proper speed selection is important to properly operate these  
machines. Speed selection Low (175 RPM) or High (320 RPM)  
is made with the switch located on the base and motor housing.  
(See Picture #4)  
Speed Switch  
Stripping, scrubbing, bonnet cleaning and shampooing should be  
performed at 175 RPM Low Speed.  
Spray buffing and dry buffing should be performed at 320 RPM,  
High Speed.  
Spray cleaning is a two speed maintenance operation. Apply a  
spray buff chemical such as Powr-Glo® to the floor ahead of the  
machine. Make the first passes through the spray buff at low  
speed with an open weave pad such as the Powr-HD™ blue  
cleaner pad or the brown hoghair blend spray cleaner pad.  
Remove the spray cleaning pad and place a buffing pad on the  
machine such as Powr-HDyellow, beige or natural hoghair  
blend pads.  
Keep the machine clean especially at the handle tube and collar  
so the handle tube will move freely through the collar.  
Inspect the cord for cuts, gashes, or loose prongs; replace as  
needed.  
Switch the speed to High 320 RPM and buff the dulled finish to a  
high gloss.  
Unplug the power cord and wrap it under the cord hook and over  
the right handle grip. Clean the cord off to prevent heavy soiling  
and cleaning residues from building up on the cord. This is a  
good time to inspect the cord for cuts, gashes and loose prongs.  
Tip the machine back and remove the pad and the drive block or  
brush.  
Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty. Improper  
disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently damage  
the field or rotor.  
For P202 & P172 only: The length of the carbon brushes should  
be inspected annually. If they are no longer extended past the hold-  
er window, they should be replaced. Replacement of the carbon  
brushes should only be done by a qualified service technician.  
 
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Machine does not run.  
The circuit breaker has tripped. Allow the circuit breaker 2 minutes  
to cool before resetting.  
Plug is broken or has loose contact. Replace.  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
This Floor Machine should be grounded while in use to protect the  
operator from electric shock. This machine is equipped with a 3-  
conductor cord and a 3-prong grounded type attachment cap plug  
to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green  
and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never  
connect this wire to anything other than the grounding blade.  
The Floor Machine is provided with an attachment cap plug, as  
shown in Sketch A, and is intended for use on a nominal 120 volt  
circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle, as shown in Sketch A, is  
unavailable, an adaptor, as shown in Sketch C, is available and  
should be installed, as shown in Sketch B, if the outlet box that  
houses the receptacle is grounded. Be sure to fasten the grounding  
tap to the faceplate screw.  
Prevent circuit overload.  
Check the pad and change it if it is rough or dirty.  
Spray buffing or spray cleaning is not a substitute for scrubbing or  
mopping a floor. Prepare the floor surface before spray buffing.  
Eliminate any extension cord that is smaller than 12/3 wire or  
greater than 25 feet in length.  
Unplug anything other than the machine from the circuit or locate  
another circuit.  
Machine will not start.  
Circuit breaker is not reset. Reset breaker.  
Plug is broken or has a loose contact. Replace.  
Circuit breaker is defective or weak. Replace.  
Switch is defective. Replace switch.  
Rectifier is defective. Replace rectifier (P202 and P172 only).  
Machine will not reach operating speed.  
Unplug anything else other than the machine from the circuit or  
locate another circuit.  
Motor runs but pad or brush does not turn.  
Coupling is broken. Replace. Coupling is not covered under war-  
ranty. Do not attempt to place a running machine over a block or  
brush. Always place and remove the block or brush by hand.
