DAILY CLEAN-UP
After you're done for the day, please lift the brush head with the dashboard switch, lift the
squeegee and close the solution controlvalve. Drive to your service area and stop.
Open the brush door. Turn each brush until you see the "scissors handles" control. Push
the scissors together to release the brush.
Remove the drain hose from its bracket. Carefully lower the hose to the drain. WATCH
OUT--MOVE TOO FAST AND YOU'LL GET WET. You can squeeze the hose shut with
your hand until you position it where you want it.
Drain the tank. Open the front hood. Remove the hose from the squeegee where it attach-
es to the vacuum tank. Put a hose in the squeegee hose port of the recovery tank (the
righthand one), and using cold water and a spray nozzle, wash the dirt that has accumulat-
ed in the tank out toward the drain hose. If you succeed in cleaning the tank well enough,
you do not need to use the cleanout door.
If the machine is still full of debris, open the cleanout door after the tank has drained its
water. Rinse again with the hose if necessary.
Rinse off the brushes. Remove any debris that may have gotten caught in them. Remem-
ber to reverse the brushes daily.
Rinse squeegee with water. Wipe off the edges of the blades with a cloth.
If machine needs washing, use a regular garden hose to wash it, not a pressure
washer! Do not spray the dashboard or the batteries. Wipe dry with a soft towel. Do not
use paper towels or dirty shop towels, or you will scratch the powder paint finish. We
recommend you wipe down your machine each day with a dry cloth and a liberal dose of
Johnson Wax'es Pledge furniture wax. This will keep the "paint", (it's really a thin plastic
coating that encases the steel structure to prevent rust), lustrous and scratch free for
years.
Store the machine in a clean dry place.
To recharge batteries, leave the box open, and unplug the machine from the batteries.
Plug the red connector from the batteries into the charger provided with the machine. Use
only the charger provided or an equivalent "smart" charger. Do not use a "dial
type".
