Sandivac Floor Sander information please......

[Cleokitty]

We bought a Sandivac floor sander to use while putting down flooring. The supplier is shut today, it's Sunday, so I can't call them. We've looked on line but can't find out how to attach the sanding discs to the base of the machine. Can someone help, please? There's nothing in the sparse information supplied with the machine.

Not sure if this helps, they talk about an instalok pad included.

Is it possible you could be missing a piece?

Thank you very much Bob, I did find this brochure on-line. I'm also happy to report that an email I sent to the supplier was replied to on Sunday, within half an hour of my sending it. The supplier was on vacation overseas so that was a surprise.

Apparently the sanding discs just cling long enough to stand the machine up when the weight of the machine keeps it in place. If they don't stick, which seems to happen when the underlying pad is impregnated with sawdust, lowering the machine on top of the discs seems to keep them in place. As I came to the thread to report that the question was answered by the supplier I saw your post. Thanks again.
