Squeezing the
Accelerator Handle
turns on the
Transport,
Brushes, Water Flow, Vacuum
and
lowers the
Rear Squeegee
accordingly to the Mode selected. If the operator triggers the
accelerator handle before, or turns the key switch “ON” at the same time, the machine will not
move as a safety precaution. Simply release the handle and squeeze the handle again to drive
the machine. Please refer to the
Main Keyboard section
of this manual for a complete
description of the functions.
When
Reverse
is selected on the Directional Switch, the
Rear Squeegee
automatically is
raised. However, the Scrub brushes will continue to rotate and solution will continue to flow.
Start scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at 3/4 speed and overlap each
path by 2 to 3 inches. Adjust your speed and solution flow according to the condition of the
floor.
When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all the dirty water is being
picked up. If streaking occurs, your
Water Flow
setting may be
too high
, the
Recovery Tank
may be
full
, the
Squeegee hose
may be
clogged
, or the
Rear Squeegee
may require some
adjustment or cleaning.
Make the necessary adjustments on the
Rear Squeegee
if streaking occurs both in straight
paths and in turns. Please refer to the
Rear Squeegee
section of this manual before making
any adjustments.
The recovery tank has an overflow protection to guard against water from entering the vacuum
system when the recovery tank is full. A ball float shut-off system has been integrated into the
Recovery Tank. When the dirty water reaches a certain level, the ball gets suctioned into the
vacuum manifold and blocks the airflow thus, preventing the machine from picking up more
liquid. When this happens, the operator is then required to stop scrubbing and empty the
recovery tank.
To stop scrubbing, select the
Transport mode
. This will automatically stop the
Solution Flow
,
raise the
Scrub deck
, and raise the
Rear squeegee
(there is a 15 second delay for the
vacuum motor and a 8 second delay on the rear squeegee).
Drive the
unit
to a designated dirty water disposal area and empty the Recovery tank. To
empty, remove the
Drain hose
from its storage hanger. Unscrew the plug and hold the hose
end above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled flow of dirty water. With the
plug completely off, carefully direct the water flow to the desired drain. Reinsert the plug and
tighten and return to its storage hanger.
The recovery tank should be rinsed out to remove solids in the tank. Open the
Cleanout cap
to remove the
Stopper
plug.
Tilt the recovery tank (similar to accessing the batteries) and
clean the sludge that has settled in the sump area by either back flushing or by scraping it out.
Be sure to tightly secure the
Stopper
plug
and cleanout cap before continuing to operate the
scrubber.
Refill the solution tank and continue scrubbing until the job is done or when the machine runs
out of power.
The
battery gauge bar icon
will flash to signal the operator that the machine is almost out of
power. Once this signal is displayed to the operator,
all functions will shut off
(brush will turn off
and the scrub deck will raise up, water flow will cease, the rear squeegee will raise up and the
vacuum motor will turn off) including the transport mode. The machine then will only have a
few minutes left of reserve power for a short
Vacuum only mode
to pick up remaining solution
on the floor and
Transport
power to drive to the battery recharging station.
AFTER USE:
When finished scrubbing, select the
Transport mode,
all functions will shut off
(brush will turn
off and the scrub deck will raise up, water flow will cease, the rear squeegee will raise up and
