WATER PICKUP OPTION
The water pickup option allows machines without
the scrub attachment to pick up water from the
floor. The kit includes a filter bypass, a vacuum
fan motor, a squeegee, and a recovery tank.
TO OPERATE THE WATER PICKUP OPTION
1. Pull out the vacuum shut-off knob.
2. Raise the main brush and side brush.
3. Lower the squeegee lever into the down
position.
4. Turn on the vacuum fan motor.
5. Drive the machine over the wet areas.
When the recovery tank float stops vacuum,
go to the dump/filling site. Stop the machine
and vacuum fan motors. Lower the drain
hose to empty the recovery tank. Rinse the
recovery tank clean. Replace the hose on
the retention plug after the tank is empty.
NOTE: The tank will not empty with the vacuum
fan operating.

SCRUB ATTACHMENT
The scrub attachment option gives the machine
the added flexibility to scrub floors. It consists of
five groups of parts – the solution tank and debris
tray, the side and main scrub brushes, the
recovery tank, the vacuum fan, and the rear
squeegee.
The solution tank, debris tray, and side and main
scrub brushes are to be removed when sweeping.
The recovery tank, vacuum fan, and rear
squeegee may be left on the machine. The rear
squeegee must be kept in the “up” position to
prevent being damaged however. The solution
tank and debris tray takes the place of the
sweeping hopper. The side scrub brush takes the
place of the side sweep brush. The main
sweeping brush is also exchanged for a scrubbing
brush in the conversion.
Rear squeegee, vacuum fan, and recovery tank
installation are covered in an instruction bulletin.
Side scrub brush installation is the same as side
sweep brush installation as covered in BRUSHES
in the MAINTENANCE section. Here we will only
cover routine solution tank and debris tray
installation and removal.
