General – this floor-finishing machine shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The machine is provided with a three-conductor cord and a three-contact grounding type attachment 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 other than the grounding pin of the attachment plug.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 V~ circuit and has a grounding plug that resembles the plug illustrated in sketch A. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this machine.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

4. Place the safety nuts (12) on the screws with the flat part facing the screw, turn them manually until they get hard, then hold the head with one 7/16 wrench and tighten the nut with the other wrench as far as it can go. (See fig. A).
5. Tighten the adjusting knob (8) clockwise at a desired handle position until the handle clamp (10) does not slip when trying to tilt the machine.
6. Connect the motor cable (9) making sure the insulating jacket is over the connectors.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE PAD

HOW TO REPLACE ISOLATORS

SP-15 N unit works with 4 isolators and the SP-2815 N unit works with 8 isolators that reduce the vibration of the floor machine during operation.

2. Follow instructions 1 & 2 on how to assemble the pad.

3. Remove the central part of the grip face pulling it off the pad driver.

4. Remove the central screw on the bottom of the pad driver with a 3/4 wrench (Fig.1).
   Note: To unscrew the central screw, you can use a screw driver to block the fan on top of the motor (Fig. 2) this will hold the screw from spinning.

5. Remove the screws that hold the pad driver with the chassis.
   For model SP-15 N: 4 screws (Fig. 3) For model SP-2815 N: 8 screws (Fig. 5)
