Introduction
Introducing the Conquest Carbon Edge floor scrubbing machine.
This is a guide for operators of the Conquest Carbon Edge to demonstrate how to safely prepare, use and
maintain the machine. A little knowledge can go a long way, and following these simple instructions will ensure
trouble-free operation and maximum benefit from your investment.
Getting to know the Conquest Carbon Edge
Let’s start with a quick tour of your Conquest Carbon Edge floor scrubber, to help you become familiar with the
technology and terminology referenced throughout this video.
Starting at the top, your machine has 64-litre solution and recovery tanks held in place with two quick-release
clips located on the left and right side of the tank assembly. It is important that both tanks are empty before tilting
back the tank assembly, to avoid tipping the machine.
Under the tank assembly, you will find the batteries. Make sure you always clear both hinge clips before closing
the solution tank.
At the front of the machine is the scrub deck. Water flows to the scrub deck from the solution tank, for dispersal
during scrubbing.
Moving to the rear of the machine, you will find the control panel … and the squeegee assembly is located at the
bottom of the machine, below the operator handles. Waste water is drawn up from the squeegee into the
recovery tank by a powerful vacuum.
The recovery water passes through a drain saver which collects any debris to prevent clogging of the drain
hoses. The vacuum motor is protected by a removable flow shut-off for ease of cleaning after use.
Pre-start check
Each day before use, it is important that you perform a pre-start check of your Conquest Carbon Edge floor
scrubber, to maintain maximum scrubbing performance and prevent unplanned maintenance.
First, inspect the scrub deck and pad. Check for damage to the head… and ensure it is sitting straight. Check the
pad is clean and secure, and not worn or torn. The pad must be replaced when worn to less than 12mm in
thickness. The Velcro system makes pad replacement quick and easy, as shown… Please note, it is important
that you always use genuine Conquest Tomcat Edge blue pads to maintain the warranty on your machine.
Next, inspect the squeegee assembly. Remove the squeegee assembly with the quick release fitting and flush
with water. The squeegee assembly consists of a front and rear squeegee. Ensure that the rubber squeegee
blades are clean and free from tears or damage. The blades may be rotated so they wear more evenly, or
replaced as required. Replace the squeegee assembly as shown and tighten the knobs by hand. Once installed,
mount the squeegee recovery hose.
To avoid damage, do not operate the machine if the squeegee is dragging crooked or hard on the floor when
lowered. Refer to your printed manual for correct settings.
Step back and walk around the machine to visually inspect for any other signs of damage or wear that may
prevent the proper function of your Conquest Carbon Edge floor scrubber.
Now, fill the solution tank with water and chemical from the front port. This is protected by a stainless-steel mesh
screen, to prevent debris from entering the tank. At the back of the machine, you will see a solution level indicator
tube. Be careful to ensure you do not over-fill the tank. Please note, you may also use the indicator to discharge
the clean water tank as required. It is important not to leave chemical sitting in the solution tank for more than one
day.
