Pad/Brush Installation & Removal
It is very important to use the appropriate pad or brush
when scrubbing a floor. Failure to do so could result in
damage to the floor finish and/or the floor. Your Amano
Pioneer Eclipse Authorized Distributor can recommend
the appropriate pad/brush for your particular needs.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the splash skirt
to install or remove the pad holder/brush.
1. If you are using a pad, place the appropriate pad
onto the pad holder and press firmly. Be sure the
pad is centered on the pad holder and not offset.
2. Place the pad holder/brush on the floor with the pad
or bristles touching the floor.
3. Place the front of the machine over the pad holder/
brush so that the pad drive motor is over the center
of the pad holder/brush.
4. Press down on the pad/brush lift pedal to lower the
pad driver motor down onto the center of the pad
holder/brush.
5. Using the pad motor switch, turn on the pad drive
motor. The pad holder/brush will automatically attach
to the pad drive motor.
6. To remove the pad holder, turn the pad motor switch
off and raise the pad drive motor using the pad/brush
lift pedal.
7. With the pad/brush off of the floor, turn on the pad
motor switch. After a few seconds, turn the switch off
and the pad/brush will drop to the floor.
Pad Pressure Adjustment
The amount of pressure being applied to the pad/brush
is adjustable. The machine has three pad pressure
settings: 44 lbs (20 kg); 66 lbs (30 kg); & 88 lbs (40 kg).
To adjust the pad pressure, lower the pad drive
assembly to the floor and remove the splash skirt. Using
the tab on the adjustment arm, pull outward and raise or
the lower the adjustment arm to the desired position. Be
sure the location tab of the adjustment arm is properly
seated before using the machine. The lowest pad
pressure setting is in the top tab location and highest
pad pressure is in the lowest tab location.
Scrubbing
1. Use the pad/brush lift pedal to lower the pad driver to
the floor.
2. Press the pad motor switch and use the traction
forward lever to start moving forward. DO NOT stay
in one place because it will damage the floor.
3. Immediately use the solution adjustment lever to
apply solution to the floor and adjust accordingly.
4. Lower the squeegee using the squeegee lift lever
and press the vacuum switch.
5. Adjust the solution flow so that the floor is covered
completely with solution, but without any excess that
could generate splashes or trails at the ends of the
squeegee.
6. To end scrubbing, turn off the pad drive motor and
raise the pad driver using the pad/brush lift pedal.
7. After all of the solution is collected, raise the
squeegee and turn the vacuum motor off.
If the floor is very dirty or difficult to clean, a double
scrub operation is recommended. On the initial pass,
scrub with the solution flow on, but do not lower the
squeegee or turn on the vacuum motor. Make a second
pass, continuing to scrub, with the vacuum motor on and
the squeegee lowered.
