INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
OPERATING THE MACHINE
The SC8000 is a rider-type automatic
fl
oor scrubbing machine. It is designed to lay down cleaning solution, scrub the
fl
oor, and vacuum dry all in
one pass.
The controls on the SC8000 were designed with
one touch operation
in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one switch
and all scrub functions on the machine will be activated.
NOTE: Bold numbers in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on pages 6-9.
NOTE!: MAKE SURE THE FOOT PEDAL IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK IF THE FOOT PEDAL IS NOT IN
NEUTRAL. EITHER THE SEAT SWITCH MUST BE CLOSED OR THE BRAKE ENGAGED BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL START.
STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE
1 Turn the key switch
(50)
clockwise to the RUN (ON) position. The glow plugs will activate for 10 seconds as indicated by the attention
indicator
(66)
and the glow plug icon
(66d)
on the display. If the engine is already warm, turn the key switch to the start position to crank the
engine. If the engine is cold, wait for the attention indicator and glow plug icon to turn off before cranking the engine. The engine should start
immediately. If the engine does not start within 15 seconds release the key, wait for approximately one minute and repeat the above steps.
2 Let the engine run at IDLE speed for
fi
ve minutes before using the machine.
3 Press the Engine Speed Switch
(51)
once to switch to “RUN” speed and move the machine around for two to three minutes at slow speed to
warm up the hydraulic system.
STARTING THE LPG ENGINE
1 Open the service valve on the LP fuel tank
.
2 Turn the Ignition Key Switch
(50)
clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start
after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.
3 Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.
4 Push the Engine Speed Switch
(51)
once to switch to “RUN” speed and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to warm
up the hydraulic system.
ALWAYS operate the machine with the Engine Speed Switch at run throttle.
Use the
Drive Pedal (29)
not the Engine Speed Switch
(51)
to
control the
speed
of the machine. The speed of the machine will increase as the pedal is pushed closer to the
fl
oor. Do not press the Drive Pedal
(29)
until the engine has started.
NOTE!: If the operator leaves the seat without setting the brake, the engine will be turned off.
Engine Speed Switch (51):
There are three engine speed settings that can be selected by the engine speed switch
(51)
on the control panel.
1 “Idle” (1200 RPM – LPG) (1300 RPM – Diesel). Use for warm up and cool down. The engine speed switch light will be off.
2 “Run” (2200 RPM). Use for transporting and most scrubbing operations. The engine speed light will be on.
3 “Maximum” (2400 RPM). Use only for heavy engine load situations such as heavy scrubbing on inclines. The engine speed light will be on.
4 To select between Idle and Run press and release the engine speed switch.
5 To select the Maximum speed,
fi
rst set the speed to Run. Then press and hold the engine speed switch for 2 seconds. To go back to Run
speed, press the switch again.
6 The SC8000 has an automatic idle feature that will reduce the engine speed to idle when the foot pedal
(29)
has been in the neutral position
for 20 seconds or more. The selected engine speed will automatically resume when the foot pedal is moved from neutral. If the engine speed
switch
(51)
is pressed while in idle-override, the automatic idle feature will be temporarily disabled until the next time the foot pedal is moved
from the neutral position. This can be useful during troubleshooting or if it is desired to let the machine run at full speed for warming up.
