PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION
Do a pre-run inspection to find possible
problems that could cause poor performance or
lost time from breakdown. Follow the same
procedure each time to avoid missing steps.
NOTE: See maintenance section for pre-run
machine inspection checklist items.
FILLING SOLUTION TANK
FOR SAFETY:
Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off
machine.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Remove solution tank cover.
3. Fill the solution tank with clean water,
leaving enough room for the required
amount of cleaning solution. The solution
tank capacity is 8 gallons (30.3 liters). The
water must not be hotter than 140
°
F (60
°
C)
to prevent damage to the tank.
4.
Measure
the chemical into the solution
tank. Liquid chemicals should be added to
the solution tank after filling with water. Dry
chemicals should be thoroughly mixed
before being added into the solution tank.
Commercially available, high alkaline floor
cleaners are suitable for use in the solution
system.
NOTE: Read the chemical manufacturers
recommended proportion instructions.
5. Replace solution tank cover.
Flammable materials can cause an
explosion or fire. Do not use flammable
materials in the tanks.
NORMAL SCRUBBING
Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The
longest track is around the perimeter of the
area to be cleaned. For efficient operation, the
runs should be the longest possible without
turning, stopping, or raising and lowering scrub
brush/squeegee.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible
results, the area that is to be cleaned should be
swept before scrubbing. Large debris, strings &
wire must be removed to prevent being caught
in the brush or squeegee.
