Powr-Flite PAS20DX, Operator'S Manual And Parts List

Page: 6 / 16

We remind you that packing material (wood, nails, paper, cello-
phane, metal staples, adhesive tape, straps, ropes, etc.) may cause
cuts or wounds and should be handled with care. These must be
removed with appropriate tolls and should not be left in the care
of irresponsible people ( e.g. Children); the same applies to the
un-packing tools (scissors, hammers, pliers, knives, etc..).
On specific request, Powr-Flite will pack the machines appropri-
ately but this does not eliminate the above safety notes.
During movement, suspended loads made up of machine compo-
nents or parts represent a collision, risk, it is the responsibility of
the customer to highlight this danger.
WARNING: before attempting to adjust or prepare the machine
or to fill the tanks, make sure that the power supply is discon-
nected.
Solution Tank : The detergent tank is positioned underneath
the upper cover at the front of the ma-chine with the filter hole
M1 easily accessible for easy refilling. Before filling the tank with
correctly diluted detergent, empty the waste collection tank as
described in the following paragraph; obviously this step is not
required for the first time of filling. The capacity of the solution
tank is 17 gal. only use the quantities and dilution recommended
by the detergent supplier and use only non-foaming detergents. If
foam is created, use a defoaming chemical in recovery tank.
Recovery Tank:
The waste tank should be emptied (preferably
after each use) so as not to let the dirt settle; to do this, remove
the cap covering the drain tube M2 which is held in place by a
retaining spring, and put in a position so that it drains. Always
abide by the environmental regulations of the country where the
machine is used.
Squeegee Blade: The floor squeegee serves to finish the drying
operation and it is very important to ensure it is in the correct
position: lower the squeegee to its working position using the
foot pedal
M3
; level the squeegee using the knobs
M4
so that the
black rubber strip is approximately 1 mm above the floor.
The remaining rubber strips must wipe the floor with a certain
amount of pressure; after the first few hours of operation the
rubber squeegees adapt themselves to the inclinations and the
drying action improves. The pressure of the squeegees on the
floor is regulated by pressing the knob.
When cleaning shiny or smooth floors and when there are holes
(joins between tiles) it is advisable not to use the rear (lowest)
rubber squeegee.
Installing and recharging the batteries: The batteries are
supplied separately and are located in the appropriate com-
partment underneath the cover; apply a coating of grease (e.g.
Vaseline) to the terminals; connect the batteries as shown in
diagram 1; make sure the terminals are securely tightened. The
battery charger should be set up in the area where it is planned
to leave the machine for recharging. Use the cable supplied to
