IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE

WARNING:

Keep hands, feet, shoestrings, and neckties away from all moving parts while the machine is in

operation. The exhaust system gets very hot, so keep hands, clothing and any combustible

items away from the engine while it is hot.

Tornado machines are built tough and durable, but do not abuse the machine or mechanical

damage and/or personal injury could result. With proper care and maintenance this unit will

give you trouble-free operation for years to come.

WARNING:

LETHAL EXHAUST GASES

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless,

colorless, tasteless, and can cause death if inhaled. Although NFPA 588-4.5 says…” these

machines shall be permitted to be used in buildings frequented by the public”, the Tornado Co.

suggests you avoid inhaling exhaust flames, and never run the engine in a closed building or

confined area without proper ventilation.

Although LPG burns more efficiently and emits less carbon monoxide than gasoline, some

carbon monoxide is produced. Avoid inhaling exhaust gases - especially over prolonged

periods of time. Do not allow engine to run unattended.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY

If the handle throttle lever is moved suddenly, high starting torque will cause the machine to

move, and may cause damage or injury. Don’t wear loose-fitting clothing while near the

machine, and take care not to accidentally move the throttle lever.

The machine must not be running while:

•Leaving machine unattended

•Changing pads

•Attempting any maintenance or adjustment

These machines should not:

•Be used by unqualified or untrained personnel

•Be used unless they are properly maintained and adjusted

•Be used in areas with obstructions such as thresholds, etc.

•Be used in areas with loose tiles

•Be used in rooms without proper ventilation

WARNING:

Do not put hands under base - rotating parts could cause injury. Always keep hands, feet, and

loose fitting clothing away from moving parts to prevent possible injuries. Use care to keep

any electrical supply from contacting moving parts such as floor brushes or pads.

•Do not use machine in areas where flammable and/or explosive vapors or dust are

present.

•Never use a device to lock the switch lever in the “ON” position.

•Do not add weight to this machine - this will upset the balance and may cause motor

overload.

•Pad holders and brushes must be properly maintained to insure maximum cleaning

results.

•To avoid fire, do not use with a flammable or combustible liquid to clean a floor.

•Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in explosive mixture of fine dust and air.

Use this machine only in a well ventilated area, free from any flame or match.

•Do not store with brush, pad holder or pad on floor.

•Refer to this manual for additional instructions.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION OF THE MACHINE

Your Tornado® Floor Machine is ready for operation as soon as it is unpacked. Remove the machine

from the pallet and discard bolts.

Before beginning any operation, please read your Kawasaki Engine Owners Manual.

The unit comes shipped without fuel in the tank. Be careful not to overfill the tank. The best method for

filling the tank is to have the full tank weighed at the filling station. The steel tank should weigh no more

than 43 pounds. Also, adjust the handle to a comfortable position and insert the locking pins. Then, with

two 3/4” wrenches tighten the two main bolts in the handle support to 40-50 ft/lbs.

Check the engine oil level. The unit will come shipped with oil. Always keep the engine oil level

between the full and add marks on the dipstick. Replace the oil by performing the following steps :

-Park your Pro-Glazer on a level surface and make sure the engine is stopped.

-Turn the oil cap counter clockwise and then lift from the fill tube.

-Wipe the dip stick clean and push it back into the oil fill tube until the cap seats, and then

withdraw it to check the oil level. (Do not screw in to check level.) Oil level should be

between the “ADD” and “FILL” marks. Add oil if necessary.

-Replace oil cap and tighten.

-If the oil is low, add API Service Classification SF, SG, SH, or SJ oil having a SAE viscosity

grade appropriate for the expected temperatures as indicated in the Kawasaki Owners

Manual.

The machine is shipped with the battery connected.

Inspect all fuel hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair any leaks immediately.

Check the carb filter and air filter for debris. Clean and replace if necessary.

Connect fuel hose to tank by (hand tightening) the hose fitting to the tank. Make sure the connection is

tight to prevent leaks.

PRO-GLAZER STARTING PROCEDURE

The Pro-Glazer PG K17-24-C is equipped with a 12-volt starter and key switch.

1. Tilt machine back so the floor pad is off the floor.

2. Turn the fuel tank knob slowly until you hear the flow of the fuel into the fuel system.

3. Place throttle cable into the choke position. Note: Never operate this machine with the engine

throttle control set to the choke position.

4. Turn the key switch fully counterclockwise to the “Start” position and hold it there until the engine

starts. Do not crank more than 5 seconds at a time, and wait at least 15 seconds between tries

when cranking. See Trouble Shooting Table if the engine does not start after several tries.

5. After the engine starts, move the throttle to the slow position. Do not operate buffer until the engine

has warmed up sufficiently, recommended as 3-5 minutes at idle.

6. Lower pad to floor slowly, and operate at full throttle. Engage clutch control lever to start pad

rotation.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Lower the engine speed to an idle, and allow the engine to idle for about one minute.

2. Turn fuel valve on tank to the closed position and allow the engine to continue running until

it runs out of fuel.

3. Turn the key to the off position.

Caution:

In an emergency, turn the key to the off position, and close the fuel valve. Backfiring

may occur when using this method.

MOUNTING PAD AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

(WARNING: TURN OFF UNIT BEFORE STARTING PAD INSTALL)

(WARNING: REMOVE LP TANK BEFORE TURNING OVER THE MACHINE)

To mount or remove a pad, tilt the machine back until it rests on the back wheels. Unscrew

the pad-lock nut while gripping the pad and pad driver. Position a new pad concentric with the

pad driver and retighten with the pad-lock nut.

To remove the pad driver, tilt the machine on its side. Use a 3/4” wrench to hold the main shaft

which is located between the four bolts in the front and on the top of the machine. Then, rotate

the pad driver counterclockwise to unscrew it from the main shaft.

For long life and best results always use genuine TORNADO® accessories.

MAINTENANCE OF THE PAD HOLDER

Remove the pad holder when the machine is not in use, and hang on wall peg or similar

holder.

POLISHING

Use 3/4” to 1” thick BEIGE high speed burnishing pads. Floors should be dry mopped to

remove grit.

SPRAY BUFFING

Use 3/4” to 1” thick HOG HAIR high speed burnishing pad. The spray buff solution should be

applied to the floor ahead of the machine. Do not run the machine into the spray or mist of the

spray buff solution.

DAMP BUFFING

Use 3/4” to 1” thick BEIGE high speed burnishing pad. Use a well wrung out mop to apply

damp buffing solution. Go over dampened surface with machine until surface is dry and has a

high glaze.

STORING

Store with pad off the floor by tilting machine back on the support wheels.

BELT MAINTENANCE

(WARNING: REMOVE LP TANK BEFORE TURNING OVER THE MACHINE)

To change a broken or worn belt, turn the machine on its side and remove the pad and pad driver.

Using a wrench, loosen the hex bolt for the pulley tensioner. Once the tensioner is loose, the belt can

be easily removed. Slip the old belt off the pulleys and reattach the new belt. Attach the pulley

tensioner back into position and retighten its bolt. The tensioner should provide the belt with a 0.16 inch

belt deflection when a force of 2 pounds is applied against outside of belt. Turn machine upright

immediately after service is completed.

These are typical service intervals. Service more frequently under more severe operating conditions.
