Operation
Operating personnel must
read the operating manual
through carefully. Operating
personnel should complete
their initial test drive on open
ground or a test track until they
are familiar with the individual
operating elements and the re-
spective functions.
3.1
Method of operation
The Admiral 40 D is a scrubber drier for
wet cleaning hard floors (refer to
Fig. 12). It cleans floors by means of in-
tensive scrubbing with the aid of a water
and cleaning agent solution. The
squeegee at the rear of the vehicle vac-
uums up the waste water into the recov-
ery tank in the same working process.
By attaching the front vacuum sweep-
ing option (illustrated in Fig. 12), the ve-
hicle can be operated according to the
tandem principle for pre-sweeping and
vacuum drying of hard floors: the dirt is
swept up dust-free using two side
brushes and a rotary brush.

The scrubber drier is a ride-on machine
designed for the economic cleaning of
large floor areas in buildings. A seat
contact ensures that the vehicle can
only be operated when an operator is
seated on the driver's seat.
The most important vehicle elements
are described below:
3.1.1
Scrubbing unit
(Fig. 13/2)
Two circular brushes, which can be
changed without the need of tools, en-
sure a high cleaning performance. They
are each driven by a brush motor. The
brush pressure can be adjusted electri-
cally according to the floor and accumu-
lation of dirt.
When the brushes are raised, the water
supply and brush rotation are stopped
automatically. The deflection bars to the
left and right of the circular brushes can
be raised, if necessary. This ensures
the cleaning solution is not forced to the
center of the vehicle and, as a result,
can soak the dirt. This is necessary for
basic cleaning (wet scrubbing only), for
example. Hook in the deflectors, refer to
Section “Deflectors”.
In the case of all cleaning work
involving immediate vacuum-
ing, the deflectors must be un-
hooked so that the deflectors
make contact with the floor.
