OPERATING THE MACHINE
The Condor XL™ is a rider-type automatic
fl
oor scrubbing machine. It is designed to lay down cleaning solution, scrub the
fl
oor, and vacuum dry all in one pass.
The controls on the Condor XL were designed with
one touch operation
in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one switch and all scrub
functions on the machine will be activated.
NOTE: Bold numbers in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on pages 6-9.
NOTE!: MAKE SURE THE FOOT PEDAL IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK IF THE FOOT PEDAL IS NOT IN
NEUTRAL.

Engine Speed Switch (51):
There are three engine speed settings that can be selected by the engine speed switch
(51)
on the control panel.
1
“Idle” (1200 RPM – Petrol / LPG) (1300 RPM – Diesel). Use for warm up and cool down. The engine speed switch light will be off.
2
“Run” (2200 RPM). Use for transporting and most scrubbing operations. The engine speed light will be on.
3
“Turbo” (2400 RPM). Use only for heavy engine load situations such as heavy scrubbing on inclines. The engine speed light will be on.

The Condor XL has an automatic idle feature that will reduce the engine speed to idle when the foot pedal
(29)
has been in the neutral position for 20
seconds or more. The selected engine speed will automatically resume when the foot pedal is moved from neutral. If the engine speed switch
(51)
is pressed
while in idle-override, the automatic idle feature will be temporarily disabled until the next time the foot pedal is moved from the neutral position. This can be
useful during troubleshooting or if it is desired to let the machine run at full speed for warming up.
