This machine is manufactured forcommercial use only.Refueling and Storage of Fuel CylindersThis machine uses a 20lb (9.1kg) capacity aluminum orsteel cylinder, which meets the DOT 4E240 standards.These cylinders are also listed by UL. In addition, thesteel cylinder meets European TPED specificationsand is CE compliant. Filling should be done ONLYby a qualified propane dealer. FILL THROUGH THESERVICE VALVE ONLY. A properly filled cylinder shouldnot exceed 80% of the rated capapcity.This machine is designed and manufactured forcommercial floor stripping only. Amano PioneerEclipse does not recommend use of this machine inany environment other than an indoor environment.This machine is designed to strip most modern typesof flooring including composition tile, stone, marble,terrazzo, concrete, and resilient floor covering. Eventhough NFPA 11.13.2.3 says.”the use of floormaintenance machines in buildings frequented by thepublic, including the times when such buildings areoccupied by the public, shall require the approval of theauthority having jurisdiction.” Amano Pioneer Eclipsesuggests usage when occupancy of a given work area isminimal.DO NOT attempt cylinder repair. Return the cylinder toyour propane dealer if repair is necessary. Please notethat DOT regulations prohibit shipping of cylinders afterthe cylinder has been filled with propane. When not inuse, cylinders should always be stored outside in anupright position in a secure, tamper-proof, steel meshstorage cabinet.
