PRE-CLEANING CHECK LIST
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY SECTION ON
PAGES 5 AND 6 BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.
1. CHECK BATTERY CONDITION GAUGE ON THE CONTROL PANEL.
MAKE SURE BATTERIES ARE FULLY CHARGED BEFORE USING.
2. CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE PADS OR BRUSHES.
3. CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE SQUEEGEE BLADES.
4. TRANSPORT THE MACHINE TO THE FILLING STATION.
RASISE THE SCRUBHEAD AND SQUEEGEE WHEN TRANSPORTING.
5. TURN MACHINE OFF.
6. REMOVE THE SOLUTION FILL LID IN THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE
AND FILL THE TANK WITH UP TO 18 GALLONS OF CLEAN WATER.
(SEE FIGURE 13.)
* THE CLEAR TUBE AT THE REAR OF THE MACHINE INDICATES THE
AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE TANK.
(SEE FIGURE 14.)
8. ADD CLEANING CHEMICAL. USE THE PROPER DILUTION RATIO
INDICATED ON THE BOTTLE.
NOTE: USE ONLY NON-FLAMMABLE COMMERCIAL CLEANING
CHEMICALS. YOUR AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR CAN ASSIST
YOU IN SELECTING A PROPER CHEMICAL.
OPERATION
OPERATING HINTS
1. OBSERVE THE AMOUNT OF SOLUTION THE MACHINE IS
DISPENSING ON THE FLOOR AND ADJUST TO THE DESIRED
FLOW. TO INCREASE THE SOLUTION FLOW RATE, ROTATE
THE SOLUTION CONTROL KNOB. TO SHUT THE SOLUTION
OFF COMPLETELY, USE THE SWITCH, OR
JUST RELEASE THE DRIVE BUTTON.
2. KEEP AN EYE ON THE CLEAR VACUUM COVER TO MAKE
SURE THERE IS NOT ANY FOAMY BUILDUP IN THE RECOVERY
TANK. IF EXCESS FOAM BEGINS TO DEVELOP, POUR A
RECOMMENDED FOAM CONTROL SOLUTION INTO THE
RECOVERY TANK. FOAM IS USUALLY AN INDICATION OF
EXCESSIVE SOAP.
3. ALWAYS OPERATE AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN SCRUBBING
AROUND WALLS AND OBJECTS. YOU SHOULD REDUCE THE
SPEED, TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHEN TURNING.
4. IF SQUEEGEE STARTS TO STREAK, RAISE AND WIPE THE
BLADES WITH A CLEAN CLOTH. IF THE PROBLEM
CONTINUES, CHECK THE BLADES FOR WEAR OR DAMAGE,
AND ROTATE IF NEEDED. YOU NEED TO PRESWEEP BEFORE
SCRUBBING.
5. CHANGE OR TURN OVER PADS WHEN DIRTY. ROTATE
THE SCRUB BRUSHES EVERY WEEK.
6. STAY CLEAR OF OBJECTS PROTRUDING FROM THE
FLOOR, SUCH AS SOCKETS, GRATES, PIES, FOR THEY WILL
DAMAGE THE PADS AND SQUEEGEE BLADES.
7. DURING BRIEF STOPS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TURN
ANYTHING OFF, THE BRUSHES AND SOLUTION WILL
AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN THE DRIVE BUTTON IS
RELEASED.
8. ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GAUGES. THEY LET
YOU KNOW THE STATUS OF A PARTICULAR SYSTEM AT A
GLANCE. IF YOUR BATTERY GAUGE IS READING LOW,
YOU MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY, AND RECHARGE.
RUNNING THE BATTERIES DEAD, WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE BATTERIES. EXCESSIVE SCRUBBING PRESSURE WILL
BLOW A BREAKER.
9. WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF SOLUTION, RAISE THE BRUSHES,
AND CONTINUE TO VACUUM THE REMAINING WATER UNTIL
IT IS CONSUMED. THE SOLUTION SIGHT HOSE IS USED TO
INDICATE THE LEVEL OF DETERGENT REMAINING IN THE
TANK.
10. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO STOP, PICK UP THE
BRUSHES, TURN OFF THE SOLUTION SWITCH, PICK UP THE
SQUEEGEE, AND DRIVE THE MACHINE BACK TO THE
CHARGING AREA. BE SURE TO DRAIN BOTH TANKS BEFORE
STORING THE MACHINE.
