DAILY MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH USE
MAKE SURE THE CHARGER HAS TURNED ”OFF”
by assuring the needle on the charger is at ”0.”
Unplug the charger from the wall receptacle, then
disconnect the charge from the machine (Figure 9).
FIG. 9.
Check all battery cells for low water level. Add distilled
water to just below the fill ring, if needed. Replace
caps. Wipe off the tops of batteries with a clean cloth.
FOR SAFETY: When servicing machine, avoid
contact with battery acid.
WARNING: Batteries emit hydrogen gas.
Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and
open flame away. Keep battery compartment open
when charging.
Make sure brushes or pad drivers with pads are
installed on machine before using the machine in the
scrub mode.
AFTER EACH USE
Drain and flush the recovery tank with clean water.
Replace the drain plug on the hose and return the
hose to its storage compartment.
Remove the float shut–off assembly from the
recovery tank. The float shut–off easily pulls off, and
and pushes on its mounting plate. Rinse the float
shut–off and install on the machine (Figure 10).
FIG. 10.
Locate the recovery tank filter inside the tank, directly
below the float shut off. Unscrew and remove the
filter. Rinse off all debris from the filter screen and
install.
NOTE: NEVER REMOVE THE RECOVERY TANK
FILTER WITH SOLUTION IN THE TANK. Drain the
tank first, to avoid having debris enter the tank’s drain
passages.
Remove the brushes and squeegee tool from the
machine. Rinse under water. Inspect the brushes and
squeegee blades for wear; replace if required.
Reinstall on the machine.
Wipe down the entire machine with a damp cloth. A
light spray of Armor–All
or a similar product will
keep the exterior looking like new!
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Remove all battery caps and check the water level in
each cell. Add distilled water only to cover plates, or
a maximum or 1/4” below fill neck ring.
Never add acid to the batteries, only distilled water.
Always keep the battery caps on, except when adding
water or taking hydrometer readings (Figure 11).
