SCRUB HEAD LOCK LEVER
The scrub head lock lever controls the scrub head

head. Then push the scrub head lock lever into
the “LOCK” position.
To release the scrub head lock, fully raise the
scrub head. Then pull the scrub head lock lever
into the “UNLOCK” position.
Always set the scrub head lock before working
under the scrub head. The scrub head lock must
also be set whenever the machine will not be
used for an extended period of time, overnight for
example. Flat spots on the brushes will appear if
the scrub head is left down for an extended period
of time.
WARNING: Raised Scrub Head May Fall.
