SCRUBBING AND DRYING OPERATION

 

13

 

When the machine is ready for scrubbing select 
the estimated amount of clean liquid required by 
pressing the detergent flow control on/off push 
button; an indicator will light which can be 
increased in three steps for varying the quantity of 
liquid delivered to the brushes.

If more liquid is required press the boost pump 
on/off push button which will double the amount 
of flow; this will be shown by the indicator.

Lower the squeegee to the floor.

 

Press the suction on/off push button.
Start the brushes rotating, move the machine 
slowly forward, then immediately lower the 
brushes to the floor by lifting the foot pedal. (If the 
brushes are allowed to rotate in contact with the 
floor without the machine moving then it is likely 
to cause “polo rings” on the floor).

Whilst moving forward observe the cleaning 
effect on the floor and adjust the detergent flow to 
the minimum required whilst being liquid enough 
to be picked up by the squeegee. This allows the 
liquid to last longer before having to refill the 
tank. If too little liquid is used the floor will dry 
with a “sludgy” grey look to it.

The height of the drive handle can be adjusted by 
turning the knob

The speed range can be selected by means of

Adjust the brush pressure to the minimum 
required; this will assist in using the least amount 
of power necessary from the battery which will 
then last longer before requiring recharge.

Note:

The liquid will be delivered to the brushes only 
when the machine is moving forward and the 
brushes are rotating. If either the brushes or the 
forward traction are stopped the liquid flow 
will stop.
