The Phoenix 30/34
This machine was designed with total
operator comfort and ease of use in mind. All machine
components have been designed as a total system to efficiently clean dirty floors. The
Phoenix
has four available scrub head types and sizes to fit specific applications.
Please contact your
PowerBoss
representative for specific recommendations for the correct scrub head type, size,
and brush type and chemical applications.
Before using the machine, always perform the following steps to ensure proper machine
operation.
Check under the machine for leaks.
Check the rear squeegee for wear and damage.
Check the solution and recovery tank levels.
After using the machine, always perform the following steps:
Check the battery charge level. Charge batteries if necessary. When charging batteries, extra
precaution is required:
Battery acid can cause burns. When working on or around batteries, always wear protective
clothing and safety glasses. Remove metal jewelry. Do not lay tools or metal objects on top of
the batteries.
Charging batteries generate explosive gasses.
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES WHEN OPEN
FLAMES OR SPARKS ARE PRESENT. DO NOT SMOKE.
Make sure the charger is turned
off before disconnecting it from the batteries. Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Fluid levels should be checked before and after charging and maintained at the proper levels.
If low, add distilled water until the metal plates are covered. If the machine is not used for an
extended period of time, batteries should be kept fully charged with a boost charge once a
week.
Check for wire, string, or twine wrapped around the scrub brushes.
Check the rear squeegee for wear and damage.
Check the rear squeegee suction hose and off-aisle wand hose for obstructions.
Empty and clean the debris box (cylindrical systems only).
Drain and clean the recovery tank.
Check under the machine for leaks.
Check the service records to determine maintenance requirements.
