 Procedures For Transporting

How to Put the Machine Into a Van or Truck

WARNING:

This machine is heavy.  Get
assistance before attempting
to transport or move it.  Use
two able persons to move the
machine on a ramp or
incline.  Always move slowly.
Do not turn the machine on a
ramp.  Do not stop and leave
the machine on a ramp or
incline.  The loading ramp
must be a minimum of 32"
wide.

WARNING:

Machines can topple over if
guided over the edges of
stairs or loading docks and
cause injury or damage.
Stop and leave this machine
only on a level surface.
When you stop the machine,
put all switches into their
"OFF" position.

 

1. Make sure the loading ramp is at least eight

(8) feet (2.5m) long and a minimum of 32" (0.8m)
wide, and strong enough to support the machine.

 2. Make sure the ramp is clean and dry.

 3. Put the ramp in position.

  4. Remove squeegee assembly, brush housing and

brush or pad driver before loading.  American-
Lincoln recommends that both the solution tank
and recovery tank are empty before loading.

 5. Turn key switch "ON".

  6. Align the machine on a level surface five (5) feet

(2 m) in front of the ramp.

 7. Set the traverse control knob to full speed.

  8.  Push in either one of the forward/reverse

switches while pushing in the white reverse
switch.  Back the machine up the ramp.  See
figure 1.

 9. Turn the key switch "OFF".
