OPERATION MODES
1. REGULAR SCRUB MODE
When the machine is running in this
mode, the machine will perform all
operations. This mode can be used for
day-to-day tasks under normal
conditions. When the operator sets the
directional switch to forward and
activates the accelerator pedal, the
solution pump will turn on, the brushes
will turn on and be lowered to the floor,
as well as the rear squeegee. While
operating in this mode, the solution will
be dispersed into the brushes, which will
scrub the floor allowing the chemical in
the solution to break down the dirt on
the floor. As the machine continues to
move forward, the rear squeegee and
vacuum system will recover the dirt and
dispensed solution. If the operator stops
moving, the machine will automatically
raise the scrub deck and turn off the
brushes. If the
directional switch is
changed to reverse the machine will
continue to operate normally, only the
rear squeegee will raise up.
2. HEAVY SCRUB MODE
This mode is similar to Regular Scrub. The machine will continue to operate the same
was as if it was in Regular Scrub Mode , only this mode applies more solution and brush
pressure is increased. This mode is used for high traffic areas and areas that have
been heavily soiled, but do not require time for the solution to soak.
3. DOUBLE SCRUB MODE
When the machine is running in this mode, the machine will perform all operations
except dirty solution recovery. This mode can be used if the floor is heavily soiled and
the chemical will need additional time to emulsify grease and oils that are on the floor.
When the operator sets the
directional switch to either the forward or reverse position
and activates the accelerator pedal, the solution pump will turn on, the brushes will turn
on and be lowered to the floor. While operating in this mode, the solution will be
dispersed into the brushes, which will scrub the floor allowing the chemical in the
solution to break down the dirt on the floor. As the machine continues to move forward
or back, the rear squeegee and vacuum system are not on, which allows the solution to
stay on the floor emulsifying the grease and oil. If the operator stops moving in either
direction, the machine will automatically raise the scrub deck and turn off the brushes.
