2. To begin cleaning, rotate the control grips forward
and gradually turn the speed control knob to the
recommended cleaning speed of 30m (100 ft.) per
minute for ReadySpace and 15m (50 ft.) per
minute for Restorative Extraction (Figure 7).
NOTE:
The machine’s maximum cleaning speed is
preset at 36m (120 ft.) per minute for ReadySpace
and 15m (100 ft.) for Restorative Extraction.
To operate the machine in reverse, simply rotate
the control grips backwards. The machine will
continue to clean in reverse during ReadySpace
cleaning. This allows you to back clean over
heavily soiled areas, into corners and tight spaces.
When reversing during restorative extraction the
scrub head will raise and cleaning stops.

pour a recommended foam control solution into
the tank.
ATTENTION: Do not allow foam to enter the float
shut-off screen, vacuum motor damage will result.
Foam will not activate the float shut-off screen.
4. Do not operate machine on inclines that exceed 3
°
when cleaning or 11
°
while transporting.
FOR SAFETY: When using machine, go slow on
inclines and slippery surfaces.
5. Observe the battery meter discharge level
(Figure 10). When the meter begins to flash, stop
scrubbing and transport the machine to the
recharging area. When two lights begin to flash
alternately, the scrub head will automatically raise
to the transport position. This will protect the
batteries from total discharge. Recharge batteries
immediately.
