Operation
Pre-Cleaning Check List:
Read and understand the safety section before operating the machine.
1. Check battery condition gauge on the control panel. Make sure batteries are fully charged before using.
2. Check the condition of the pads or brushes.
3. Check the condition of the squeegee blades.
4. Transport the machine to the filling station. Raise the scrub head and squeegee when transporting.
5. Turn machine off.
6. Fill the tank with up to 17 gallons of clean water either at front fill port "A" or rear fill port "B". Access rear fill port by raising the recovery tank lid.
Note: Water temperature must not exceed 135F/57C. Do not use a high percentage bleach mixture. (SEE BELOW)
The clear tube "C" at the rear of the machine indicates the amount of water in the tank. (SEE BELOW)
8. Add "approved" cleaning chemical. Use the proper dilution ratio indicated on the bottle. Call if unsure.
Note: Use only non‐flammable commercial cleaning chemicals. Your authorized distributor can assist you in selecting a proper chemical.
Operating Hints:
1. Observe the amount of solution the machine is dispensing on the floor and adjust to the desired flow. To increase the solution flow rate, rotate the solution control knob counter‐clockwise. To shut the solution off completely, just release the drive button.
2. Keep an eye on the clear vacuum cover to make sure there is not any foamy buildup in the recovery tank. If excess foam begins to develop, pour a recommended foam control solution into the recovery tank. Foam is usually an indication of excessive soap.
3. Always operate at lower speeds when scrubbing around walls and objects. You should reduce the speed, to maintain control when turning.
4. If squeegee starts to streak, raise and wipe the blades with a clean cloth. If the problem continues, check the blades for wear or damage, and rotate if needed. You may need to pre-sweep before scrubbing.
5. Change or turn over pads when dirty. Rotate the scrub brushes every week.
6. Stay clear of objects protruding from the floor, such as sockets, grates, for they will damage the pads and squeegee blades.
7. During brief stops you do not have to turn anything off, the brushes and solution will automatically stop when the drive button is released.
8. Always keep an eye on your gauges. They let you know the status of a particular system at a glance. If your battery gauge is reading low, you must stop immediately, and recharge. Running the batteries dead, will result in damage to the batteries.
9. When you run out of solution, raise the brushes, and continue to vacuum the remaining water until it is consumed. The solution sight hose is used to indicate the level of detergent remaining in the tank.
10. When you are ready to stop, pick up the brushes, turn off the solution switch, pick up the squeegee, and drive the machine back to the charging area. Be sure to drain both tanks before storing the machine.
