1. OBSERVE THE AMOUNT OF SOLUTION THE MACHINE IS
DISPENSING ON THE FLOOR AND ADJUST TO THE DESIRED
FLOW. TO INCREASE THE SOLUTION FLOW RATE, ROTATE
BLUE KNOB COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
(SEE PICTURE TO THE LEFT)
2. KEEP AN EYE ON THE "RED" RECOVERY FULL LIGHT TO
MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT FOAMY BUILDUP IN THE
RECOVERY TANK. IF EXCESS FOAM BEGINS TO DEVELOP,
POUR A RECOMMENDED FOAM CONTROL SOLUTION
INTO THE RECOVERY TANK.
(SEE PICTURE TO THE LEFT)
3. ALWAYS OPERATE AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN SCRUBBING
AROUND WALLS AND OBJECTS. YOU SHOULD REDUCE THE
SPEED, TO MAINTAIN CONTROL WHEN TURNING.
4. IF SQUEEGEE STARTS TO STREAK, RAISE AND WIPE THE
BLADES WITH A CLEAN CLOTH. IF THE PROBLEM
CONTINUES, CHECK THE BLADES FOR WEAR OR DAMAGE,
AND ROTATE IF NEEDED.
5. CHANGE OR TURN OVER PADS WHEN DIRTY. ROTATE
THE SCRUB BRUSHES EVERY WEEK.
6. STAY CLEAR OF OBJECTS PROTRUDING FROM THE
FLOOR, SUCH AS SOCKETS, GRATES, FOR THEY WILL
DAMAGE THE PADS AND SQUEEGEE BLADES.
7. DURING BRIEF STOPS YOU SHOULD TURN EVERYTHING
OFF, THE BRUSHES AND SOLUTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY
STOP WHEN THE FOOT PEDAL IS RELEASED.
8. ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GAUGES. THEY LET
YOU KNOW THE STATUS OF A PARTICULAR SYSTEM AT A
GLANCE. IF YOUR BATTERY GAUGE IS READING LOW,
YOU MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY, AND RECHARGE.
RUNNING THE BATTERIES DEAD, WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE BATTERIES.
9. WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF SOLUTION, RAISE THE BRUSHES,
AND CONTINUE TO VACUUM THE REMAINING WATER UNTIL
IT IS CONSUMED. THE BLUE BALL IN THE SIGHT TUBE TELLS
YOU HOW MUCH SOLUTION IS LEFT IN THE TANK,
(SEE PICTURE TO THE LEFT)
10. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO STOP, PICK UP THE
BRUSHES, TURN OFF THE SOLUTION SWITCH, PICK UP THE
SQUEEGEE, AND DRIVE THE MACHINE BACK TO THE
CHARGING AREA.
