Machine Controls and Features
Recovery Tank Float
The FOCUS Rider Scrubber is equipped with a float that
shuts the vacuum off when the recovery tank is full. The
squeegee will no longer pick up water. If this should
happen, raise the squeegee and empty the recovery tank.
The Traverse
The FOCUS Rider Scrubber is equipped with an
electronically controlled traverse system with variable
speeds in forward and reverse.
1.
To traverse the machine, the power to the machine
must be turned on with the key switch and the
operator must be properly seated. The joystick must
be positioned in either the forward or reverse
direction.
2.
The traverse speed and direction can be adjusted
by varying the pressure and direction of the joystick.
3.
The joystick is very responsive. Simply point it in the
direction you wish to go.
NOTE: For initial training,
keep speed setting in 1 and train in an open area.
NOTE: During reverse motion, the squeegee raises and
the solution flow stops automatically. Reverse also
reduces maximum traverse speed.
4.
The front wheel always returns to center when you
remove your hand from the joystick.
Brakes
The machine is equipped with an electronic braking
system. The electronic braking is activated automatically
when the operator’s hand is removed from the joystick.
NOTE: During training, you should allow machine to
come to a full stop until you become familiar with
stopping distances required.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is activated automatically when the
machine comes to a stop. It disengages automatically
when you begin to traverse. The transaxle is equipped
with a manual brake release. NOTE: Machine will not
function when manual brake release is engaged. See
figure 2.
Reverse Alarm
The reverse alarm will sound intermittently and
automatically when the machine is in reverse.
