CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
1.
Battery Indicator. Shows relative battery
strength with an LED readout--like a fuel
gauge. Note that this gauge will reset to
"full" whenever you unplug the batteries,
whether or not the batteries are recharged.
When light flashes, you must stop to
recharge!
2.
Hour Meter. Runs when key is on.
3.
Brush Downpressure Indicator. (On
some machines). Shows relative pressure
on the brushes by vertical LED readout.
4.
Speed Control. Turn clockwise to increase
ground speed when bail (Item 10) is pushed
or pulled.
5.
Power-On Light. Glows green when the
key is on and battery power is available.
6.
Key Switch. Turn in either direction to turn
machine on. Key is "off" when vertical.
7.
Brush Downpressure Switch. Pushing on
the top edge of this switch lowers the
brushes, and, when they reach the floor,
increases pressure. Pushing on the bottom
edge reduces pressure and then raises the
brushes off the floor.
8.
Vac Switch. Not found on all machines.
On machines with automatic squeegee lift
pushing on the top of the switch turns the
vacuum system on, and pushing on the bottom
turns the vacuum off.
Early machines with manual squeegee lift also
used this switch to turn the vac motors on and
off.
9.
Auto-Manual Switch. Not found on all
machines.
In "Auto" mode, (upper position of the switch)
the solution, brush rotation and vacuum will
automatically stop when the operator releases
the bail (Item 10) In manual mode, these items
will keep running until the operator stops them
manually.
10.
Forward/Reverse Switch. The switch
in the center of the control panel chooses
the direction the machine will go in when
power is applied. When you select reverse, the
machine will automatically reverse without your
having to depress Power Buttons (Item 11
below).
11.
Power Button. Inside the handlebar are two
buttons. Touching either one will make the
machine go forward.
11A
On earlier machines, squeezing the handlebar's
built in switch makes the machine go in the
direction you chose with the black forward/
reverse switch.
12.
Solution Off Switch. Turn this off to stop so-
lution. Note that solution also stops automati
cally whenever you turn off the brushes or stop
the machine.
13.
Solution Flow Control. Turning this knob
varies the amount of solution that is laid
down on the brushes. (Turn clockwise for
less).
