Common Problems For All Floor Burnisher Types

Problem 1: Streaks In The Floor Finish

The most common complaint about a floor burnisher is that it is causing streaks on the floor. Streaks are happening for one of two reasons, either you are using the wrong floor pad or the floor pad has been installed incorrectly.

Possible Cause: Wrong Floor Burnisher Pad

Your floor burnisher is likely leaving streaks on the floor because the wrong floor pad is installed on the machine.

Floor pads for burnishers are not the same floor pads to be used with buffers. Floor pads for both machines are often confused and used interchangeably, but this is not best practice.

地板燃烧器和地板缓冲区是两种不同的清洁设备，需要不同类型的地板垫来完成各种清洁程序。

Burnishers operate at higher speeds than buffers. Burnishers create a friction between the floor pad and floor to heat the floor finish and produce a “wet-look” shine.Floor pads for burnishers are typically lighter in color to avoid color transfer.The combination of heat and the wrong floor pad, such as dark-colored floor buffer pads, will cause streaks or colored spots on your floor.

Solution:Make sure you are using the appropriate floor pad for your floor burnisher. To learn more about the best floor pad for your burnisher, read our article:“What is the Best Floor Pad for your Buffer or Burnisher?[Video]”

Possible Cause: Floor Pad Is Installed Incorrectly

If you are not using a dark colored floor pad, it may be because the floor pad is not installed correctly.

If the pad is installed incorrectly, you can experience pad vibrations or see hazing on your floor.

将地板垫固定在燃烧器上时，将垫子的垫子放在垫子驱动器上，然后使用垫子固定器将垫子固定到驾驶员上。垫子固定器是将地板垫紧紧到垫驱动器的塑料部件。如果垫子固定器并非一路拧紧，则垫子固定器将撞到地板并留下彩色漩涡痕迹。

Solution:Tighten the pad retainer so that it does not extend beyond the pad. The pad is tight enough when the pad has a slight bevel and extends beyond the retainer.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Problem 2: Excessive Floor Burnisher Vibration

摇动或振动比平常更多，可能是由于地板垫。

Possible Cause: Floor Pad Is Off-Center

The floor pad must be centered on the machine. If the pad is not centered on the pad driver, it will not be balanced and will cause the machine to shake or vibrate on the floor.

Solution:卸下地板垫，并将其最近的垫子放置，然后连接垫子固定器。

Possible Cause: Floor Pad Is Damaged Or Worn

Floor pads which are damaged or worn will be uneven. Uneven floor pads will cause the machine to be unbalanced, creating the excessive shaking.

Pro Tip:Pads should always be at least ⅓ of an inch thick.

Solution:Replace damaged or worn floor pads.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Battery Operated Floor Burnisher

Problem 1: Battery Burnisher Will Not Turn On

Possible Cause: The Batteries Are Not Charged

The most common reason a battery burnisher will not turn on is because the batteries are dead.

The previous operator may have failed to charge the battery in between uses.

Solution:Plug the battery in to charge.

可能的原因：电池未连接

电池必须正确连接。

Solution:Check the wires to make sure they are properly and securely attached to the appropriate connectors. Use the operators manual for guidance.

Possible Cause: On-Board Battery Charger Still Connected

Walk-behind and ride-on battery operated burnishers typically come equipped with on-board battery chargers. The machine will not operate if the batteries are plugged into the charger.

Solution:Check to see if the on-board charger is still connected to the wall. If it is connected, unplug the machine to operate.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Problem 2: Battery Burnisher Starts And Then Stops

可能的原因：电池连接松动

当燃烧器打开并停止或仅在短时间内工作，然后出乎意料地退出时，电池和电线可能会有松散的连接。

Solution:Check for any loose connections. Tighten any connections between the battery, wires, and clamps.

Possible Cause: Worn Or Old Batteries

As batteries are used they wear out and have less and less run time.

Solution:You will need to contact a certified service technician for battery testing and replacement.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Cord-Electric Floor Burnisher

问题1：地板磨砂器不会打开

可能的原因：地板磨砂器未插入

The most common reason that a cord-electric floor burnisher won’t turn on is because it is not plugged into an outlet or it has been plugged into a faulty outlet.

尽管这似乎很明显，但请检查以确保插头没有从插座上掉下来，并且插座并不是错误的。

Solution:测试有故障的出口。插入另一台设备以查看是否获得任何电源。如果设备没有获得任何电源，请重置墙壁出口的断路器。如果设备获得电源，则问题不在墙壁出口。问题可能是电线或缓冲电路。

可能的原因：损坏或磨损的电源线

Electric power cords for floor burnishers can become damaged or frayed from improper use and storage. When cords are damaged they can prevent the burnisher from extracting power from the wall.

Solution:Inspect the cord for damage to the protective cover or for exposed wires. If the cord is damaged do not operate the machine. The cord will need to be replaced by a professional.

可能的原因：您正在使用延长线

如果您试图与地板燃烧器一起使用延伸线，则可能无法吸收足够的功率来运行机器。

Solution:删除任何延长线和连接层burnisher directly to the wall. If the machine does not turn on, the problem is likely with the machine or the outlet. Check the wall circuit and buffer circuit to make sure they didn’t pop. If the floor burnisher powers on, the electric cord may have been too small.

Pro Tip:如果您必须使用延伸线，则电线应比机器上的电线大一点。例如，许多燃烧器具有14量规线，需要12轨距的电延伸线。12量规可以使电能自由流动以更长的距离。

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Problem 2: Floor Burnisher Starts, Suddenly Stops, And Won’t Restart

Cord-electric floor burnishers can trip the circuit breaker for either the wall outlet or machine itself.

Possible Cause: Tripped Wall Outlet Circuit Breaker

A wall outlet can be tripped when there is a temporary overload on the circuit or a short circuit in the device plugged into the circuit.

Solution:Test to see if the wall circuit is producing any power by plugging in another device. If the second device does not work, the wall outlet is not working. You will need to reset the wall circuit breaker. If the second device does work, the outlet is working and you should check the machine circuit breaker.

Possible Cause: Tripped Floor Burnisher Circuit

A circuit breaker on the machine is used to protect the motor from power surges. If the motor draws too much power, the circuit breaker will stop the motor to help prevent motor damage.

当某些绳索没有从机器的绳索钩上拆开时，燃烧器电路可能会绊倒。当绳索没有完全拆开时，绳索将无法接收足够的电源，并会在机器或出口引起压力，最终绊倒了抛光剂的电路。

Solution:If some cord is still wrapped around the cord hook, unwrap the remaining cord and reset the burnisher circuit breaker.

Possible Cause: Weak Burnisher Circuit Breaker

A burnisher’s circuit breaker can be weak from previous short-circuits. The more times that a floor burnisher’s circuit is tripped, the weaker the circuit breaker will become and the easier it will be to trip.

Solution:If you think this is the case, the burnisher circuit breaker will need to be replaced. Machine service and maintenance should only be performed by a certified technician.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact an authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.

Propane Floor Burnisher

问题1：丙烷地板燃烧器发动机无法启动

Possible Cause: Overfilled Propane Tank

过度充盈丙烷罐是标出se of problems with a propane floor burnisher.

Pro Tip:丙烷罐只能填充80％。80％被认为是一个满罐。

Solution:如果您认为储罐太饱了，请在重新连接给抛光剂之前发泄多余的丙烷。为此，使用防护手套，将储罐拿到户外，然后慢慢打开阀门。将丙烷量降低到仪表上的指定水平。不要在开放火焰附近这样做。

Possible Cause: The Engine Overheated

The machine may shut off intermittently if the engine overheats. The most common reasons the engine overheats is because the oil is too high or too low, the carbon deposit in the combustion chamber is too dirty, or the cooling fan is damaged.

Solution:首先，检查油是否处于正确的水平。然后，清理碳矿床。如果发动机仍过热，请检查冷却风扇的过滤器。如果您注意到过滤器很脏，请清洁过滤器。如果不是过滤器，请检查冷却风扇是否损坏。如果有明显的磨损或损坏，请与认证的技术人员联系以进行更换。

Possible Cause: Spark Plug

Spark plugs create a spark of electricity that emits across a small gap in the engine. It creates the ignition for the combustion to run the burnisher. If your machine is not starting, the wrong spark plug may be installed or the spark plug may be damaged or worn.

Solution:Inspect the burnisher’s spark plug. Spark plugs should be light tan or gray. If the spark plug is black or has noticeable damage, it is a sign that the engine is not running properly. Contact a certified technician for maintenance and service. If the spark plug appears fine, the problem is probably not with the spark plug.

可能的原因：低或没有油

Low or no oil may cause the burnisher not to start.

Solution:Check the engine oil level. If the oil is low, fill to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Pro Tip:Engine oil should be changed every 20 hours of operation to obtain maximum life of the engine.

If none of these troubleshooting tips were able to get your burnisher up and running, contact a authorized repair center for help identifying and resolving other possible causes.
