Frequently Asked Questions - BGDC-21-2000 BISSELL

How do I assemble the handle on the Bissell BGDC-21-2000?
The handle is shipped unattached. Use two 7/16" wrenches. Align the handle yoke with the chassis mount, insert a 3" bolt with washers, and secure with a locking nut. Then mount the support braces and adjust the locking lever for comfortable operation. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.
What safety precautions should I take before using the burnisher?
Always read the manual. Use only indoors, keep vents clean, never handle with wet hands, unplug when not in service, and ensure the outlet is properly grounded. Never operate near flammable materials or use the machine as a sander.
How do I install a new pad on the BGDC-21-2000?
Unplug the machine, lock the handle up, and tip it back. Place a new pad (21" diameter) centered over the male shoulder on the pad driver. Insert the locking ring through the center hole and tighten until it lies below the pad face. Never operate without a pad or with a damaged pad.
What is the correct voltage and grounding requirement for this burnisher?
The burnisher operates on 115V, 60 Hz, 10.8 amps. It has a grounded 3-prong plug. Do not use extension cords. If a grounded outlet is unavailable, a temporary adapter may be used, but ensure the green grounding means is connected to a permanent ground. In Canada, adapters are not permitted.
How do I adjust the front wheel assembly on the 2000 RPM model?
The front wheel assembly controls down pressure. Raise the apron height to reduce pressure, lower it as the pad wears. Operating without this assembly void the warranty. Adjust using the adjustment mechanism on the front wheel.
What should I do if the burnisher does not start?
Check if circuit breakers are tripped or if the unit is unplugged. Test the power cord by plugging the motor directly into a working cord (bypassing handle controls). If the motor runs, the issue is in the handle assembly; if not, seek authorized repair.
How do I clean and store the burnisher?
After use, lock the handle up and tilt the machine back onto transport wheels. Never store with pad on the ground. Wind the cord around the handles and bottom hook. Wash pads and hang to dry. Use compressed air or vacuum to clean motor vents. Report any problems promptly.
What is covered under the warranty?
The manufacturer warrants parts and workmanship for 1 year, and the motor and gearbox for 5 years from the date of purchase. Normal wear items like drive belts and brushes are not covered. The warranty requires proof of purchase from an authorized dealer.
Can I use this burnisher on carpets?
No, this machine is designed for hard floor burnishing. For carpet cleaning, use appropriate carpet shampooing or bonnet cleaning methods. Always sweep hard floors before burnishing to remove debris that could cause damage.
How do I replace the pad driver?
Unplug the machine, lock handle up, and tip it back. Remove the 4 mounting screws and washers from the drive hub. Place the new pad driver onto the main drive pulley and reinstall the screws securely. Tighten to prevent vibration.

(12) BISSELL BigGreen Commercial FMU-2000 Burnisher

DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord containing a 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.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded wire to a flat bed terminal. The green insulated wire, with or without yellow stripes, is the grounding wire.

The BISSELL. BigGreen Commercial High-Speed Burnisher operates on a 10.8 amp nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit (motors may be custom wired at the factory 220V, 50 Hz international operation). The, amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the motor spec label found on each Burnisher. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the spec label will damage the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements.

This Burnisher is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that fits the outlet illustrated in Figure A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary adapter, such as the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to connect the plug into a 2-pole outlet, as shown in Figure C.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear lug or grounding means extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by its grounding means and a metal screw, as shown in Figure C.

Grounding Outlet Grounding Screw Figure A Grounding Plug with Grounding Pin Figure B Adaptor USA ONLY Grounding Means 2-Pole Outlet Figure C Grounded Center Screw

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 equipment. If it will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial High-Speed Burnisher is built with a 50 foot (15 M) safety cord which plugs directly into an approved outlet. Use of extension cords is NOT RECOMMENDED. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. This adaptor may not be used in Canada.

2.1 Attach the Power Cord

The triple-wire grounded power cord has been factory-installed into the handle tube. A flexible rubber cable connector (11) is used to secure the plug-in connections. The burnisher ships with this connector mounted on the cord coming out of the handle (10).

Stretch the connector and slip the male connector (9) (coming out of the motor housing) through the connector hole and then into the female connector. Now, plug the end of the 50-foot cord into a grounded power outlet. Squeeze the triggers on the handle and cheek for power to the motor.

Technical diagram of a mechanical device with numbered components and directional arrows indicating motion or assembly.

2.2 Inspect the Pad Driver

A flexible, high-speed pad driver has been bolted onto the burnishing machine and dynamically balanced. This driver is the connection between the burnisher and a disposable pad that burnishes the hard floor finish. If this molded plastic part ever becomes damaged or if the molded hooks are worn and cannot hold the pad, replace promptly.

Unplug the burnishing machine. Lock the handle in the "up" position and tip the machine back fully. Remove the 4 mounting screws (11) and washers (12) from the drive hub (13).

Place the new pad driver (14) onto the main drive pulley. Insert the mounting screws (11) through the washers (12) into the bolt hole. Tighten securely.

11 14 13 12

2.3 Install the Pad

The face (bottom) of the pad driver (14) is covered with small "hooks" that grab onto the pad (16). Every time you mount a new pad onto the pad driver, follow these steps:

- Unplug the burnishing machine. Lock the handle in the "up" position and tip the machine back fully.

  • Pad Sizes: 20" diameter pad on the 20" and 21" machines. Mount a pad (16) over the male shoulder (15) on the pad driver. Make sure that the pad is centered on the driver.
  • Insert the locking ring (17) through the center hole in the pad and into the shoulder. Tighten until the locking ring lies below the face of the pad. If the ring is not fully locked, it will scratch the floor.

16 15 14 0 17

NEVER operate the burnisher without a pad.

NEVER operate the burnisher with a damaged pad of without a locking ring to hold the pad in place.

2.4 Adjust the Front Wheel Assembly on 2000 RPM Model

The 2000 RPM model is designed with a front wheel assembly that controls the down pressure that the pad applies to the floor. Raise the apron height to reduce the down pressure. Lower the apron height as the pad wears. The warranty on a 2000 RPM machine will be voided if the machine is operated without this wheel assembly in place and operating correctly.

BISSELL BGDC-21-2000 - Adjust the Front Wheel Assembly on 2000 RPM Model - 1

3.0 Operating Tips

• For indoor use only. Sweep abrasive soils before burnishing.
- While the pad driver is spinning, keep the burnisher moving to avoid "donut" burns on the floor.

To Start Operation:

  • Unlock the handle by raising the locking lever.
    • Lower the handle to a comfortable position, typically waist high.
  • Relock the handle by pushing the lever down. NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITH THE HANDLE UNLOCKED.

4.0 Troubleshooting

Never operate this burnisher when the equipment is not performing as expected or when any parts are visibly damaged. The cause and solution for some basic problems are described below. When repair is needed, take the equipment to an authorized repair service center.

4.1 Burnisher will not Run

• Circuit breakers are tripped in the building. Check and reset.
• Equipment is unplugged. Check plug wall and at machine base. Plug in.
- Power cord failure. Test with a working power cord. Lock the handle up and tip the motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor and plug the motor into your working power cord.
- IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you have removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you are sending power directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, the problem is in the cord of the handle assembly. Seek authorized repair service.
- If the motor still does not spin, the problem is either in the male connection at the motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized repair service.
• Motor sparks or smokes. Seek authorized repair service.

4.2 Electrical Shock to Operator

• Equipment wiring failure or electrical short in the machine. Seek authorized service.
- Poor grounding or no grounding. Test the outlet with a ground fault interrupter. Retain certified electrician to inspect and repair grounding. NEVER clip off the ground plug on your cord.
- Repeated circuit breaking. High amp draw and circuit breaking can be an electrical or mechanical problem. Seek authorized repair service.

4.3 High Vibration

  • Pads are not centered on the pad driver. Tip machine back and re-center the pad.
  • Uneven wear or warp to pad or brushes. Replace.
    • Machine chassis is damaged by dropping. Replace.
