OPERATING THE MACHINE
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.
To Scrub...
Follow the instructions in “preparing the machine for use” section of this manual.
1
See Figure 8.
While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls found on
the seat and Steering column Tilt Adjust
(16)
.
2
Place the Magnetic Smart Key
(W)
onto the Smart Key Reader
(A)
. Press the Power Switch
(B)
. This will activate the Display
(C)
. Reference the Battery
Condition Indicator
(C3)
and Hour Meter
(C1)
before proceeding.
3
To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal
(3)
to go forward or the rear of the pedal for
reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
4
Press the Solution Switch
(H)
and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the
fl
oor.
NOTE:
This will help prevent scarring of the
fl
oor surface when starting to scrub
with dry brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch
(E)
.
5
Press the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch
(E)
once for Regular Scrub. Press the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch
(F)
once for Heavy Scrub or twice for Extreme
Scrub mode. The solution
fl
ow has settings that coincide with the scrub pressure, it will increase and decrease along with the scrub pressure.
NOTE:
The solution
fl
ow rate can also be increased or decreased independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Flow Increase Switch
(J)
or
Solution Flow Decrease Switch
(K)
, observe the Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph
(C10)
(see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will
reset the solution
fl
ow rate to default.
6
When the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch
(E)
is selected, the brushes and squeegee are automatically lowered to the
fl
oor. The scrub, solution, vacuum and
detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are all automatically enabled and will start when the Drive Pedal
(3)
is activated. Any individual system can be turned
OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.
NOTE:
When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.
7
Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the
machine speed and solution
fl
ow when necessary according to the condition of the
fl
oor. Pull the Timed Solution Off Paddle
(R)
before entering a turn to
temporarily turn off the solution
fl
ow. The Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph
(C10)
will be replaced by a 5 second countdown timer showing how long the solution
fl
ow will be off. Pull paddle again before timer runs out to cancel solution off.
NOTE:
While scrubbing the maximum machine speed can be set by pressing the Speed Limiter Switch
(N)
. Adjust the machine to the desired speed using
the Drive Pedal
(3)
then press the Speed Limiter Switch
(N)
. The operator can now press the pedal all the way forward without increasing the machine speed
thereby reducing operator fatigue. The machine Speed
(C5)
is shown on the display.
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 last cleaning mode used Minimum or Maximum Concentration Detergent (if detergent is installed and was activated). Pull the
EcoFlex Paddle
(S)
to override the current cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution
fl
ow and if installed the detergent percentage
(unless in Maximum Concentration). This will cause the EcoFlex Indicator
(C15)
to be displayed along with a countdown timer 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 be at the Maximum Concentration level
(detergent system will be turned on at Minimum Concentration level if it was off).
NOTE:
Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch
(Q)
will cycle between Minimum Concentration, Maximum Concentration and detergent off.
The EcoFlex system will only function if the scrub system
(E)
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 and scrub deck blades are in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch
(L)
to
raise the squeegee). Open both scrub deck Side Doors
(15)
and step down on the side blade Raise/Lower Lever
(AA)
to raise the side blades. 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 and side blades (step down on
Lever
(AA)
again to lower) lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
11 The recovery tank has a Tank Full Switch
(19)
that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this switch
is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the switch activated.
NOTE:
Scrub, solution and detergent indicators vanish and the Recovery Tank Full Indicator
(C13)
appears on the Display Panel when the switch is
activated.
12 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the One-Touch Scrub Switch
(E)
once. This will automatically stop the scrub
brushes and solution
fl
ow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional delay
(this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).
13 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose
(20)
from its rear storage area,
then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled
fl
ow of waste water). Re
fi
ll the solution tank
and continue scrubbing.
NOTE:
Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover
(1)
and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose
(20)
cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.
When the batteries require recharging the Battery Low Voltage Indicator
(C14)
will come on, the scrub brushes and solution
fl
ow will stop and the scrub deck will
raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge
the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
