26. As the Walker approaches the foul line the 7-pin side motor will turn on and the
buzzer will begin to sound. When both motors turn on they are once again
monitored by their respective sensors to confirm they are in motion. The Walker will
drive up on the approach and stop at the preset distance past the foul line.
27. After a short delay the Walker will turn 90 degrees; the direction of turn will be
determined from the starting lane and ending lane. The machine will stop, have a
short delay, move to the next lane, stop, have a short delay, turn 90 degrees, and
face the next lane.
28. When the Walker stops after the second 90 degree turn all functions will reset and
the machine will begin to operate on the next lane. When the Walker is done it will
back out of the lane and stop.
29. If the oil float contacts open, an OIL EMPTY error will be displayed after the Walker
has completed its second 90 degree turn. The oil will then need to be filled and the
Walker will have to be re-started.
30. If the cleaner float contacts open, a CLEANER EMPTY error will be displayed after the
Walker has completed its second 90 degree turn. The cleaner will then need to be
filled and then re-started. Always empty the recovery tank when filling the cleaner
tank.
31. The Walker cannot be resumed if the following errors occur: APPROACH 7 & 10; OLS
LATE OR STUCK; OIL & CLEANER FLOAT; DUSTER UNWIND; and SQUEEGEE DOWN. In
the event one of these errors occurs, the machine will need to be re-started.
FLEX Sequence of Events - “How it Works”
The following steps detail how the FLEX operates, which is much like the Walker. The FLEX
should be on the approach in down or operating position with the HOME SCREEN displayed
on the touchscreen. The FLEX needs to be in “clean and oil mode” for the following
sequence of events to occur. The following sequence will explain how to start the FLEX, how
the errors work, and what happens as the FLEX travels down your lanes.
1. Press the GO TO STARTING LANE button to advance to the starting lane screen.
Choose the starting lane then press GO TO ENDING LANE and choose the ending
lane. After choosing the ending lane, press START MACHINE the machine will change
If the Walker stops and displays the ‘LOW BATTERY’ or ‘E-STOP PRESSED’ it will need to be
returned to the foul line and plugged in. This message comes up only if the voltage drops
below 17 volts (meaning it has a dead battery), if the E-Stop is pressed, or if there is a loose
power connection.
