BATTERY METER
The battery meter displays the charge level of the
batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, all
indicator lights will glow. As the batteries discharge, the
indicator lights will begin to go out from right to left.
NOTE:
To prolong the life of the batteries ONLY
recharge the batteries when the machine is used for a
total of 30 minutes or more.
DRIVE MODEL:
When the discharge level reaches the
first red light (Figure 25), stop scrubbing and recharge
the batteries. If you continue to operate the machine
beyond the first red light, the scrubbing function will
automatically shut off when the last red light begins to
blink. This protects the batteries from total discharge.
Drive the machine to the charging area and recharge
the batteries immediately.
NOTE:
The Drive Model battery meter also displays
machine fault codes. If a fault is detected the LED bars
will flash specific fault codes (See BATTERY METER
LED FAULT CODES on page 28).
Stop scrubbing and recharge batteries

BRUSH ASSIST MODEL:
When the discharge level
reaches the last yellow light (Figure 26), the light will
begin to flash, stop scrubbing and recharge the
batteries. If the red light appears, the scrubbing
function will shut off automatically. This protects the
batteries from total discharge. Recharge the batteries
immediately.
Stop scrubbing and recharge batteries

CIRCUIT BREAKER / FUSES
The machine is equipped with a resettable circuit
breaker to protect the brush motor from damage. The
circuit breaker button is located on the control panel
(Figure 27). If the circuit breaker should trip, determine
the cause, allow the motor to cool, and then manually
reset the circuit breaker button.
The machine is also equipped with three fuses located
inside the control console: 30A Main fuse (drive
model), 5A Main fuse (brush assist model), 25A
vacuum motor fuse and 7.5A FaST Pump/10A
ec--H2O
pump fuse. When replacing a fuse never substitute a
higher Amp rated fuse than specified.
Contact an Authorized Service Center for
machine repairs.

HOUR METER
The hour meter records the number of total hours the
brush motor has been powered on. Use the hour meter
to determine when to perform recommended
maintenance procedures and to record service history
(Figure 28).
