The area to be scrubbed:
Debris and grit must be swept up
before starting the scrubbing operation to avoid vacuum line
blockage and to permit the detergent to perform efficiently.
Prior to startup and operation:
Caution:
A)
Loose objects
on the floor can become dangerous projectiles if struck by the
high speed pad. Remove them before operating machine.
B)
Keep machine moving to prevent damage to finish or floor.
C)
These machines are designed for level floor operations only.
DO NOT OPERATE ON RAMPS OR INCLINES
unless
adequate personnel are available for assistance.
Starting up and operation:
Disconnect the batteries from the
battery charger and connect to the machine.
Then:
• Turn master switch
M6
to position 1 and press
switches
M7
and
M8.
• Lower the brush by pressing pedal
M9.
• Lower the squeegee by pressing pedal
M3.
• Set the detergent solution supply to minimum by
adjusting knob
M12.
• Release brake by depressing small lever on
M13
.
• Press down the handle
M10
to drive forward.
When the handle is released the machine stops.
• Adjust the speed of advance by adjusting knob
M11.
• Finally, adjust the correct supply of the detergent
as a function of the amount of dirt and speed of
advance by means of lever
M12
; this is a matter of
experience. At this point the machine is ready
to carry out the operations of scrubbing and drying
at the same time.
Particularly dirty floors:
Certain floors or areas may require
special attention and, in some cases, cleaning twice. Go over
the floor quickly the first time, with the squeegee raised and
the brush in the working position. In this way, the detergent
solution is left on the floor for a longer time and can dissolve
the heavy dirt. The second time, go over the floor more slowly
with both the brush and the squeegee lowered. Always apply
and brush stripping solution without squeegee and vacuum
then return to area after a minimum of 5 minutes and remove
the suspended dirt, finish and solution. Stripping solutions are
most effective when applied with a mop or specialized applica-
tor and allowed to work on the finish for at least 5 minutes.
This will also prevent contamination of the unit’s solution tank,
and eliminate rinsing & neutralizing the tank before rinsing
floor.
