Important Safety Information

Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical shock. This machine is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not remove the ground pin; if missing, replace the plug before use.

Improper installation of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Be sure to check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the plug will not fit in the outlet do not modify either the plug or the machine’s cord, instead have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and with a grounding plug similar to the one in Figure 1 below. If a proper outlet is not available, follow the illustrations in Figures 2 & 3 to install a temporary- grounding plug. This temporary workaround should be used only until a proper outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. When and if this type of adapter is employed, screw the adapter’s extended tab into place with a metal screw. However, grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Again, be sure to check the grounding pin for damages and replace it if necessary.
The Green, or Green-Yellow, wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to only the grounding pin.
DO NOT use extension cords.
Please Note for American use only.

Machine Maintenance

In order to keep the Orbital Floor Machine running smoothly and reduce the risk of damage to the machine and subsequent downtime, Mytee recommends following the maintenance schedule is below:

Flywheel and Bearing Replacement

Tools Needed:

• 1/8” Allen wrench
• 7/16” wrench or socket
• 3/16” Allen wrench
• 3/8” wrench
• Blue thread locker

1. Remove the pad driver from the unit by unbolting the four bolts with a 7/16” socket or wrench.
   

2. Loosen the four set screws holding the flywheel onto the shaft using a 1/8” Allen wrench and slide the flywheel assembly off the shaft.

3. Line up the holes on the center of the new bearing with the holes on the center of the new flywheel (1). Add a dot of blue thread locker to the two black bearing screws and, using a 3/16” Allen wrench, tighten the bearing onto the flywheel. Make sure the bearing spins freely.

4. Apply a blue thread locker to the two small set screws (3) and thread them into the holes where the key slot is. They do not need to be threaded in very far. Make sure they don’t stick out into the key slot.

5. Apply blue thread locker to the two longer set screws (4). These get threaded into the holes 90º to the right of the key slot. They do not need to be threaded in very far. Make sure they don’t stick out into the shaft slot.

6. Apply a dot of blue thread locker to one side of the key (2) and place it in the key slot on the motor shaft so that the thread locker is facing outward.

7. Line the key slot on the flywheel up with the key on the shaft and slide the flywheel and bearing assembly into place.

8. Tighten all four set screws with a 1/8” Allen wrench.

9. Bolt the pad driver back into place with the 7/16” socket or wrench.
