THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE

ONLY.

ELECTRICAL:

In the USA this machine operates on a one 15

amp nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The

amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data

label found on each machine. Using voltages

above or below those indicated on the data label

will cause serious damage to the motors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance

is equipped with a cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and grounding plug. The

plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet

that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt

circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the

plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks

like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used to

connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown

in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet is not

available. The temporary adaptor should be used

only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can

be installed by a qualified electrician. The green

colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from

the adaptor must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box

cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be

held in place by a metal screw.

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 it will not fit the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

approved cleaning solution while operating.

When using the pad option, always keep the

machine moving when in contact with the floor.

High starting torque. Hold machine firmly with

both hands.

1. Ensure that the pad driver or brush is installed

correctly and in good shape. Install or change

pad if necessary.

2. Plug the machine into a wall outlet as described

in the grounding instructions.

NOTE: The machine is equipped with a circuit

breaker to protect the motor in the event an overload

condition occurs. The circuit breaker is located on

the rear of the motor. Push the reset button to restart

the machine. If the breaker trips again, correct the

cause of overloading before proceeding.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. Inspect power cord for wear. To prevent

electrical shock replace cords with frayed or

cracked insulation immediately.

SCRUB BRUSHES

NOTE: All original equipment brushes are equipped

with “Perform Alert”. This feature will tell the

operator when it is time to replace the scrub

brushes. “Perform Alert” brushes have pre-

trimmed bright yellow tufts to indicate the length of a

worn out brush. When the tufts in the scrub brush

wear to a length equal to the yellow tufts, the scrub

brushes should be replaced.

There are five different types of brushes available to

cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors

to polishing. A pad driver is also available to take

advantage of the many cleaning pads on the market

and further add to the flexibility of the MERIT.

Please refer to the following to assist in selecting the

proper brush or pad for the work at hand.

UNCOATED FLOORS

Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with

silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and

removes surface material.

Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit

suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions.

Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon

bristles on light solid applications.

Nylon is a general-purpose scrub brush with stiff

bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining

concrete, wood and tile floors.

FINISHED FLOORS

Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently clean

finished tile or terrazzo floors without removing floor

finish or floor material. Used for washing highly

polished or burnished floors.

Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications

on coated or uncoated surfaces.

White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to

achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface

washing on highly polished or burnished floors.

Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty

scrubbing. When used with a mild detergent they

will provide surface cleaning without removing the

finish.

Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty

scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove

less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove

black marks, stains and dirt.

Brown Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and

complete removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They

will quickly remove ground in dirt, black heel marks,

and spills. When used with the proper stripper, this

pad leaves the floor clean and ready for finishing.

The scrub brushes should be checked before each

days work for wire, string, wear and damage. The

scrub brushes should be replaced if brush bristles

are missing or if yellow Perform Alert indicates

minimum brush length.
