BATTERY POWER LEVEL INDICATOR - TRACTION DRIVE MODELS
The battery power level gauge is located on the upper control panel. The gauge has red, yellow and green
LEDs to indicate the amount of power left in the batteries.
On lead acid battery-equipped units, when the discharge level reaches the first red LED, it is a good time
to finish your scrubbing application and recharge the unit. If you do choose to continue scrubbing, when
the last red LED begins to flash, the unit will shut down the brush motor but leave the vacuum and traction
drive operational to perform final water recovery and transport back to storage. This function not only
serves as an indicator that your battery level has reached a point where recharging is required, but also
protects the batteries from being fully discharged.
AGM battery-equipped units should not be used after the last yellow LED goes out leaving only red LEDs.
Using the unit beyond this point can reduce the life of the batteries.
NOTE: The traction drive battery power level gauge also displays fault codes. The LEDs will flash specific
fault codes if a fault is detected. See Troubleshooting section for LED fault codes.
BATTERY POWER LEVEL INDICATOR - PAD/BRUSH ASSIST MODELS
The battery power level gauge is located on the upper control panel. The gauge has a series of yellow LEDs
to indicate the amount of power left in the batteries. When batteries are fully charged, all LEDs are lit. As
the batteries discharge, the LEDs will begin to go out from right to left.
On lead acid battery-equipped units, when the discharge level reaches the last, lit LED (2nd in from left)
it is a good time to finish your scrubbing application and recharge the unit. If you do choose to continue
scrubbing, when last LED begins to flash, the unit will shut down the brush motor but leave the vacuum
operational to perform final water recovery. This function not only serves as an indicator that your battery
level has reached a point where recharging is required, but also protects the batteries from being fully
discharged.
AGM battery-equipped units should not be used after there are only two LEDs lit. Using the unit beyond
this point can reduce the life of the batteries.
MACHINE PREPARATION
USING YOUR ON-BOARD CHARGER
CHARGING THE BATTERIES WITH AN ON-BOARD CHARGER
Before using your unit for the first time, fully charge your batteries.
1. These units are equipped with an on-board charger.
2. The on-board charger is equipped with a 9 foot long cord that can be plugged directly into a 120V outlet.
3. The cord wrap on the unit has a quick-release hook. The lower hook allows the user to slip the cord off
and then the cord can be lifted off the upper hook, all without having to unravel the entire cord.
