To Attach the Pad:

Lay the floor machine on its back with the handle lying on the floor. This exposes the brush holder pan. Just place the pad over the round brush holder pan making sure it is in place.

CAUTION: NEVER put the pad on the machine by placing it on the floor and moving the running machine over it, or placing the machine over the pad and then starting the motor.

To Guide the Machine

Hold the handle with both hands and push with the palms of your hands to move in the forward direction, then cup your hands and pull to bring back. The design of the machine eliminates the fatigue associated with controlling other floor machines.

Care of your Oreck Low Boy Floor Machine

This is a precision machine. Dropping unreasonable bumping or rough handling may result in damage. Remove brushes after use. The bristles may be damaged due to the weight of the machine. Store your machine in the upright position. After each use, remove wax or cleaning solutions. After sanding, blow sawdust off motor and locking mechanism.

Lubrication: With the handle in its lowest position, periodically place one drop of oil (3-in-One) on the thrust bearings.
