PRE-CLEANING CHECK LIST
Read and understand the safety section on pages 5 and 6
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 scrubhead and squeegee when transporting.
5. Turn machine off.
6. Fill the tank with up to 30 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.
(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.
OPERATION
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 need to presweep 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.
