Operation

General Use

1. Clear the area of obstructions.

3. Return the machine to an upright position and plug into a grounded outlet.
4. Adjust handle height by lifting the compression handle on the right side of the tube, setting the height, and locking it back down.
5. Select speed (Low: 185rpm or High: 330rpm) using the motor-mounted switch. Never change speed while the machine is running.

Handle Release Assembly

If the handle requires assembly, follow these steps:

1. Step 1: Remove the nut and spacer from the handle bracket assembly. Push the two handle brackets backward so they lay on the floor.
2. Step 2: Remove the Handle Clamp Blocks (5mm hex head). Place the handle assembly into the blocks and re-attach to the base.
3. Step 3: Ensure the cord wrap faces left when standing behind the machine. Assemble hardware: spacer, left handle bracket, nylock nut. Do not overtighten.
4. Step 4: Connect the power cords and the power cord covers.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a mild cleaner.
• Lubrication: Lubricate wheels with water-resistant lubricant monthly.
