SCRUBBER OPERATION
STARTING WITH THE THERMOSTART
Carry out pre-start operations as previously described; turn starter switch key to position B (stand-by); turn on the thermostart by
pressing pushbutton and hold for 25 seconds; move starter switch key to position C while holding down the thermostart button until
engine starts. Once the engine has started, release both the key and thermostart button. If after two or three attempts the engine has
not started and black smoke is coming from the exhaust, start engine without using the thermostart.
CAUTION
When starting the engine after an extended period of non-use, avoid using the hydraulic system immediately since all moving parts
will require lubrication before they are subjected to full load. Especially when the outside temperature approaches 0º C (32º F), run
the engine at 1300-1500 rpm for approximately
fi ve minutes to heat the rear transmission oil to working temperature.
CAUTION
If any warning lights illuminate to signal a fault, check and repair the faulty part. If the warning light continues to signal a fault, have
the scrubber checked by your NEW HOLLAND dealer.
CAUTION
When the outside temperature is below 0º C, in order to prevent separation of the parra fi n components in the diesel fuel which leads
to a reduction in fl uidity and subsequent fuel supply problems, mix the diesel fuel with antifreeze (or similar product) in the proportions
described on the container. Put the antifreeze in the tank fi rst, followed by the fuel. The antifreeze will ensure there is optimum
fuel supply to the engine without reducing performance (up to -20º C/-68º F). The diesel must be mixed with the antifreeze before
any sign of parra
fi n separation - adding it later will have no effect on the engine if the cold has already caused it to stop running or
prevented it from starting.
TO DRIVE MACHINE (FOR TRANSPORT)
Follow these steps to drive (transport) the machine to the area to be cleaned.
1. Be sure the scrub brushes and the squeegee are in the “up” position with all other controls in the “OFF” position.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Depress the clutch and move the gear and range levers to desired positions, slowly release clutch while depressing accelerator.
4. To stop, reduce speed, depress clutch and apply brakes. When scrubber is stationary, reduce to low idle, move range and
gearshift levers into neutral, release the clutch and set the parking brake.
CAUTION
When SHIFTING from one range to another, forward to reverse, or reverse to forward, the operator MUST reduce the speed (throttle)
to LOW IDLE, shift range and/or gear, then increase the speed (throttle).
