SQUEEGEE LEVER
The squeegee lever is present on machines with
the scrub attachment option. It controls the
position of the rear squeegee.
To raise the squeegee, lift the lever into the “up”
position. To lower the squeegee, lower the lever
into the “down” position.
SOLUTION LEVER
The solution lever is present on machines with the
scrub attachment option. It controls the flow of
solution to the floor.
To start solution flow, push the lever to the right
near the “on” position. Solution flow increases as
the lever is pushed to the right. To stop solution
flow, push the lever to the left into the “off”
position.

The side brush arm controls the position of
the side brush.
To raise the side brush, pull the lift arm up and
push it back into the raised position. To lower the

THERMO-SENTRY
The Thermo-Sentry is a thermostat that senses
the temperature of the air drawn into the vacuum
fan from the hopper. The thermostat controls an
engine shut off switch. In the event of a fire in the
hopper, the high air temperature would cause the
thermostat to trip, stopping the engine cutting off
air flow to the fire. After the thermostat has
tripped, it will automatically reset after cooling.
