brushes. After double scrubbing, the operator should use
the vacuum only mode
to
recover the dirty solution water from the floor.
4. VACUUM ONLY MODE
When the machine is running in this mode, the machine will only lower the rear
squeegee and turn on the vacuum system to recover the dirty solution from the floor.
This mode is usually chosen after double scrubbing to recover the dirty solution but it
can also be used to pick up spills. When the operator sets the
directional switch
to
forward
, the rear squeegee will be lowered to the floor as the vacuum turns on, pulling
the dirty solution water from the rear squeegee into the recovery tank. If the operator
stops moving forward and sets the directional switch to
reverse,
the rear squeegee will
retract (protecting it from damage) and the vacuum motor will turn off after a few
seconds. If the operator quits moving in either direction, the machine will automatically
raise the squeegee and turn off the vacuum motor after a few seconds.
5. TRANSPORT MODE
When the machine is set in this mode, none of the cleaning functions of the machine
will operate. This mode is only used to transport the machine from one location to
another at a faster rate of speed.
6. WATER FLOW
Located on the left side of the control console. This knob controls the rate at which
water / solution is distributed to the scrub deck. The farther the knob is turned
clockwise the more water will be distributed.
7. SPEED CONTROL
Located on the right side of the control console. This knob controls the propelling
speed of the machine. The farther the knob is turned clockwise the faster the machine
will travel. As discussed earlier, the directional switch governs the direction of travel
the machine will take.
OPERATION OF CONTROLS
POWER SAVE MODE
The
Phoenix
is equipped with a power save feature to conserve battery power. If the
key switch power is left ON and none of the controls are activated for a period of
fifteen minutes, the
Phoenix
automatically goes into “power down mode” and turns
OFF the power to conserve your batteries in case the operator forgets to turn the key
switch off or leaves the machine unattended.
