WET SCRUBBING
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions. While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded.
Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while ascending (driving up) the ramp.
To Scrub…
1
Follow the instructions in the Preparing The Machine For Use section of this manual.
2
Turn the Master Key Switch
(A)
ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights, reference the Battery Condition Indicator
(F6)
and Hour Meter
(F1)
before proceeding
.
3
To transport the machine to the work area, push the Drive Paddle
(29)
forward to go forward or pull the Drive Paddle
(29)
backward to move the machine in reverse. Vary the
pressure on the Drive Paddle
(29)
to obtain the desired speed.
NOTE:
Speed Control Knob
(30)
is used to control the maximum speed in either forward or reverse.
4
Press and hold the Solution Switch
(C)
for 5 seconds to pre-wet the
fl
oor.
NOTE:
This must be done prior to pressing the Scrub ON/OFF Switch
(H)
.
5
Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch
(H),
the scrub pressure will default to Normal (one scrub pressure indicator lit). Use the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch
(G)
and Scrub
Pressure Decrease Switch
(I)
to change between Regular and Heavy Scrub modes. Only one pressure sensing is available for cylindrical machines.The solution
fl
ow rate will
automatically adjust to coincide with the scrub pressure.
NOTE:
The solution
fl
ow rate can be changed independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Increase Switch
(B)
or Solution Decrease Switch
(D)
. Any
subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution
fl
ow rate to correspond with the scrub pressure.
NOTE:
The scrub, solution, vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON/OFF Switch
(H)
is pressed. Any individual system
can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing. No further action is required other than lowering the squeegee
(12)
.
6
Lower the squeegee with the Squeegee Raise / Lower Lever
(14)
.
7
When the Drive Paddle
(29)
is in the neutral position, the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are activated but not running. Grip the Operator
Control Handle
(2)
and push the Drive Paddle
(29)
forward to start the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (EcoFlex models), and to move the machine forward. For best
results, move the machine at a slow walking speed. Press the Solution Switch
(C)
once to turn OFF while making sharp turns. Pull the Drive Paddle
(29)
backward to move the
machine in reverse. The brushes will run while moving the machine in reverse, but solution and chemical will not be dispensed.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the
fl
oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.
8
When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine, you may be dispensing too
much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.
9
The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit GREEN) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch
(J)
to override the
EcoFlex cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution
fl
ow and the detergent percentage. This will cause the indicator to
fl
ash (YELLOW) for one minute,
solution
fl
ow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent percentage will increase to the next larger percentage.
NOTE:
Pressing and holding the EcoFlex Switch
(J)
for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the EcoFlex Switch
(J)
again. Cycling the
Key Switch
(A)
does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the Scrub System
(H)
has been enabled.
10
For extremely dirty
fl
oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation is the same as a one-pass
scrubbing except on the
fi
rst pass the squeegee is in the up position. This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the
fl
oor to work longer. The
fi
nal pass is made over the
same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
11
The recovery tank has a shut-off
fl
oat
(4)
that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this
fl
oat is activated, the recovery
tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the
fl
oat activated.
NOTE:
All other indicators vanish and a “Recovery Tank FULL” Indicator
(F7)
turns on in the Display Panel when the switch is activated on “EcoFlex” models.
12
When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full;
Press the Scrub ON/OFF Switch
(H)
once. This will automatically stop the scrub motors and the solution
fl
ow and the deck will raise to its upper limit.
NOTE:
The vacuum will
stop after a 10 second delay. This is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on.
Raise the squeegee with the Squeegee Raise / Lower Lever
13
(14)
. and drive the machine to a designated wastewater “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty,
pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose
(24)
from its hanger and open the cap (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled
fl
ow of waste
water). The Recovery Tank Drain Hose
(24)
can be squeezed to regulate the
fl
ow. Re
fi
ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
NOTE:
Make sure the Recovery Tank Lid
(6)
and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose
(24)
cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly. When
the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator
(F8)
will come on (EcoFlex models) and the vacuum motor will shut off after 30 seconds. Transport the
machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
WET VACUUMING
Fit the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.
1
Disconnect the Recovery Hose
(16)
from the Squeegee
(12).
2
Attach suitable wet pick-up tools to the hose (Available from Advance).
3
Turn the Master Key Switch
(A)
ON.
4
Press the Vacuum/Wand Switch
(L)
(EcoFlex models) once to turn ON the vacuum motor.
The vacuum motor will run continuously until the switch is pressed again to turn it OFF.
NOTE: The “Recovery Tank FULL” indicator is disabled when the wand mode is activated.
The
fl
oat will stop the
fl
ow into the recovery tank.
