OPERATING FaST SCRUB SYSTEM (OPTION)
How the FaST System operates (Foam Scrubbing
Technology). The FaST--PAK concentrate agent is
injected into the system with a mixture of a small
amount water and compressed air. This mixture creates
a large volume of expanded wet foam. The expanded
foam mixture is then dispersed onto the floor while two
scrubbing disks go to work. By the time the squeegee
picks up the mixture, the patented foaming agent has
collapsed and recovered into the recovery tank. By
performing the FaST system application, you can
increase your productivity rate by 30% by reducing your
dump/fill cycle. You will also reduce your chemical usage
and storage space. One FaST--PAK of concentrated
agent allows you to scrub up to 90,000m
2
(1,000,000 ft
2
).
1. Make sure that the FaST--PAK MP Hard Floor
Concentrate carton is properly installed
(See INSTALLING FaST--PAK AGENT).
2. Make sure that the solution tank is filled with clear
cool water only. DO NOT add conventional
cleaning agents in solution tank. Conventional
cleaning agents/restorers in the solution tank will
result in premature FaST system failure.
3. Press the FaST Scrub/Conventional Scrub Switch
toward the FaST Scrub mode position (Figure 20).
NOTE:
To scrub with clear water only, simply press
the FaST Scrub/Conventional Scrub Switch toward the
Conventional Scrub mode position. This allows you to
operate the machine in a rinsing application.
FIG. 20
4. Make sure that the main solution switch is in the
ON position.
NOTE:
The water flow rate from the solution tank is
automatically regulated by the operation of the FaST
system. The solution flow rate can not be adjusted by
the Solution Control Adjustment Knob during the FaST
Scrub mode.
5. Follow the standard MACHINE OPERATION
instructions to begin scrubbing.
General Information:
The FaST and ES options can
not be equipped on the same machine.
WHILE OPERATING MACHINE
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slow on
inclines and slippery surfaces.
WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard. Do Not
Pick Up Flammable Materials Or Reactive Metals.
1. Observe amount of solution flow on floor. To
increase or decrease water flow, adjust solution
control knob (Figure 21).
NOTE:
When scrubbing with the FaST Option, the
solution flow knob is inactive.
FIG. 21
2. Periodically observe recovery tank for excessive
foam. If excessive foam appears, pour a
recommended foam control solution into recovery
tank.
ATTENTION: Do not allow foam or water to enter
float shut--off screen, vacuum motor damage will
result. Foam will not activate float shut--off
screen.
3. Always operate at a slower speed when scrubbing
around walls or obstacles.
4. Always reduce speed to maintain control when
turning machine.
5. If squeegee leaves streaks, raise and wipe blades
with a cloth. Pre-sweep area to prevent streaking.
6. Overlap each pass by 2 in / 51 mm.
7. Change or turn over pads when worn.
8. Stay clear of floor obstructions, such as electrical
plates or grates, they will destroy pads.
9. During brief stops, you do not have to turn off any
switches, the brushes and solution flow will
automatically stop when control grips are
released.
10. Periodically check battery meter discharge level.
When needle drops to the red zone, recharge
batteries.
