Do These Procedures When You End Your Work

1. Drain the solution tank (Figure #21, item A) and the

recovery tank (Figure #21, item B). To drain the tanks
, follow this procedure:

a.  Turn the key switch “OFF”.

b.  Remove  the drain hose from the back of the

machine.

c.  Put the end of the hose over a drain or bucket.

d. Recovery Tank:

Turn the valve housing to the left (see figure
#22).  To open the valve completely, turn the
housing fully to the left and pull the housing
off of the valve.

Solution Tank:
When hose is lowered below water level, the
water will drain (see figure 23).

2.  Flush the tanks.  To flush the tanks, put clean water

in the tank through the opening on top of the tank.

3.  If a tank or drain hose has an obstruction, use a high

pressure water hose to flush the tank or hose.  Put the
water hose into the drain hose.

4.  Leave the tanks and the drain valves open to dry in the

air.

5. Check the squeegee blade.  Use a cloth to clean the

squeegee blade.  If the squeegee blade is damaged
or worn, turn or replace the blade.

6.  Check and clean the recovery lid gasket.  Use a mild

cleaning solution and rinse the parts in clean water.

Check the batteries and add distilled water as needed.
The correct level is within  1/4 inch of the bottom of the
tube in each cell.

CAUTION

:

Tap water may contain
contaminants that will damage
batteries.

Batteries must be

re-filled with distilled water
only.

WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate

gases which can cause an
explosion.  NO SMOKING.
Always wear eye protection and
protective clothing when
working near batteries.

Use a clean cloth and wipe the surface of the machine.

Charge the batteries.  See the instruction in the section
of this book called “How To Charge The Batteries”.
