After double scrubbing, the operator should use the vacuum only mode to recover the
dirty solution water from the floor.
4. VACUUM ONLY MODE
When the machine is running in this mode, the machine will only lower the rear
squeegee and turn on the vacuum system to recover the dirty solution from the floor.
This mode is usually chosen after double scrubbing to recover the dirty solution but it
can also be used to pick up spills. When the operator sets the
directional switch to
forward , the rear squeegee will be lowered to the floor as the vacuum turns on, pulling
the dirty solution water from the rear squeegee into the recovery tank. If the operator
stops moving forward and sets the directional switch to
reverse, the rear squeegee will
retract (protecting it from damage) and the vacuum motor will turn off after a few
seconds. If the operator quits moving in either direction, the machine will automatically
raise the squeegee and turn off the vacuum motor after a few seconds.
5. TRANSPORT MODE
When the machine is set in this mode, none of the cleaning functions of the machine will
operate. This mode is only used to transport the machine from one location to another
at a faster rate of speed.
6. SOLUTION CONTROL KNOB
This control will adjust the amount of solution that is being dispersed to the floor while in
one of the scrub modes. Adjust the control clockwise to increase the amount of solution
being dispersed. The amount of solution applied is variable to a maximum of 1 GPM.
7. BATTERY GAUGE
This gauge displays the level of charge remaining in the machine’s batteries. The gauge
consists of 10 LEDs. (3 Green, 4 Amber, 3 Red) If the battery life is low, the battery
gauge bar icon will be flashing to inform the operator that the machine is almost out of
power. Once this signal is displayed, all functions will shut off, including transport mode.
The operator must then
turn the key switch OFF and then ON to reset the machine. The
machine will then have only a few minutes left of reserve power to briefly use Vacuum
Only mode to pick up any remaining solution on the floor and Transport mode to return
to the charging station. This gauge will also display a fault code if the system has an
error. This code is represented by a specific number of flashing LEDs.
See
Fault/Diagnostic Codes for specific code information.
