To attach the drive block or brush or other attachment, be sure the handle is “locked in the upright position (see figure #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 handle box. Bend over and fit the three slots to the clutch plate (built into the back of the brush) over the three lugs of the driving plate. Turn the drive block, brush, or other attachment counter-clockwise as far as it will go until it is seated in the ready-to-use position (see figure #2). CAUTION: This is the only proper way to install a drive block, brush, or other attachment. NEVER put a drive block, brush or attachment 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 the upright position and adjust the handle to an operating position. Recommended handle position is close 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 the cam release lever 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 slot from driving plate lugs by turning it clockwise.
