Operating and Indicating Elements

Off Aisle Wand mode(Fig. 5/9)

This mode is for cleaning areas that can 
not be reached with the machine. When 
selected, the vacuum motors will turn 
on and the solution pump will run when 
the triger of the off aisle wand is activat-
ed. The machine will not move.

Restorative Clean mode(Fig. 5/8)

When this mode is selected the solution 
will pump to the four spray jets in front 
of the scrub deck. When the operator 
selects 

forward

 and presses the accel-

erator the scrub deck will automatically 
come down, the brush motors will turn 
on, the vacuum motors will turn on, the 
solution pump and interim solenoid will 
turn on. If the operator selects 

reverse

 

the scrub deck will raise, the brush mo-
tor, solution pump and interim solenoid 
will turn off. The vacuum motors will 
continue to run for 20 seconds to clear 
the vacuum hoses.

Interim Clean mode(Fig. 5/7)

When this mode is selected the solution 
will pump to the single spray jet aimed 
on to the front scrub brush. When the 
operator selects 

forward

 and presses 

the accelerator the scrub deck will auto-
matically come down, the brush motors 
will turn on, the vacuum motors will turn 
on, the solution pump and interim sole-
noid will turn on. If the operator selects 

reverse

 the scrub deck will raise, the 

brush motor, solution pump and interim 
solenoid will turn off. The vacuum mo-
tors will continue to run for 20 seconds 
to clear the vacuum hoses.

Vacuum only mode(Fig. 5/11)

This mode is recommended for solution 
removal after double scrubbing, but can 
also be used to pick up spills. When the 
accelerator pedal is activated with the 
direction selector in the forward posi-
tion, the rear brush deck will lower to the 

floor as the vacuum motor turns on pull-
ing the dirty solution water from the vac-
uum shoes into the recovery tank. If the 
machine stops moving and the direction 
selector is switched to reverse, the 
brush deck will raise (protecting it from 
damage) and the vacuum motor will 
turn off after a delay. If the machine 
stops moving in either direction, the 
brush deck will automatically raise and 
the vacuum motor will shut off after a 
delay.

Transport mode(Fig. 5/12)

When this mode is selected, none of the 
cleaning functions will operate. This 
mode is only used to transport the ma-
chine from one location to another.
