Using the Hawk Brute Floor Machine is straightforward. First, plug it into a suitable power source with the right voltage (115 - 230V, 60 Hz or 50 Hz optional). You can adjust the handle to a comfortable position using the variable position lock. Then, turn on the machine using the dual steel operating triggers and negative pressure on/off switch. For added safety, use the thumb - operated safety switch. When using it on different floor types like concrete, natural stone, or wood, choose the appropriate brush or pad. If you need to add extra functionality, you can use the optional 4 - gallon solution tank, frame weight, or horseshoe weight. During operation, keep in mind that the machine operates quietly at 66 dB, so it won't cause much noise disturbance. For maintenance, regularly check the power cord for any damage and make sure the steel coupler and gears are in good condition. Clean the brush covers after each use to prevent dirt build - up. Since it's UL/CUL listed, follow all safety guidelines provided in the owner's manual.
