Operation
3.1.3
Suction turbines (suction)
(Fig. 13/3)
The two suction turbines are located on
the rear panel of the solution tank and can
be accessed after opening the rear doors.
The suction turbines are switched on
and off automatically when lowering and
raising the squeegee, respectively. A float
switch in the recovery tank switches the
suction turbine off automatically on reach-
ing the maximum fill height.
3.1.4
Solution tank
(Fig. 13/2)
The solution tank is located behind the
driver’s seat, on the right-hand side (when
facing the front). It has a capacity of ap-
prox. 174 liters. Pivot the gray tank cap
open and lock to fill. Fill water, max. 50 °C,
and add the cleaning agent in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Pivot
the tank cap back down.
Only use cleaning agents (non-
foaming) suitable for the vehicle’s
vendor.
We recommend using our clean and care
products which are specially balanced for
the Admiral 38C. These products meet the
requirements stipulated in the washing and
cleaning agent directive (WRMG - Wasch-
und Reinigungsmittelgesetzes). Observe
the correct dosage of the cleaning agent.
The correct dosage helps to reduce costs
and protect the environment. The devel-
opment of excessive foam impairs the
machine’s function. It indicates overdos-
age of the cleaning agent; components of
the cleaning agent which are fed back to
the waste water cause foaming. Informa-
tion on dosage is provided on the cleaning
agent container. Use the manufacturer’s
information as an initial guideline. Practi-
cal experience will ensure that you quickly
find out which is the right cleaning agent
and the optimum dosage to suit your
needs. The solution feed to the brushes
is automatically opened when the scrub-
bing program is activated. If necessary, the
feed can be stopped manually by means
of the ball cock.
Operating times with one tankful:
•at 2 l/min. approx. 87 minutes
•at 4 l/min. approx. 43 minutes
•at 7 l/min. approx. 24 minutes
3.1.5
Recovery tank
(Fig. 13/1)
The recovery tank is located behind the
driver’s seat, on the left-hand side (when
facing the front). It has a capacity of ap-
prox. 174 liters. The waste water is fed
to the recovery tank via the squeegee
by means of a vacuum. A float switch at
the top of the recovery tank switches the
suction turbine off automatically as soon
as the maximum tank fill level is reached.
In this case, the control lamp (Fig. 15/2)
on the left operating panel lights up. An
acoustic signal is also issued. A vacuum-
ing tool (refer to Section 4), which can
be connected to the vehicle, is optionally
available with which to clean and vacuum
up water from areas difficult to access.
