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.
STARTING MACHINE
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before
operating machine.
FOR SAFETY:
Before starting machine, make
sure that all safety devices are in place and
operating properly.
1.
Turn the machine power on.
2.
Release the parking brake.
3.
Move the direction control lever in the desired
direction.
EMERGENCY STOP PROCEDURES
1.
Release the directional control lever.
2.
Turn machine power off with key switch.
3.
If an electrical problem is suspected push in
emergency stop button.
4.
Set the parking brake.
NOTE: Turning the key switch off during normal
running operation will stop all motors and lift
actuators. When the key is turned back on the
systems will assume they are in the normal
parked mode (scrub deck up, squeegee up, and
motors off). Any switch command will send the
selected system to the working position
regardless of the position it was in when the key
switch was turned off. Two touches of the
respective switch are required to raise the scrub
deck and squeegee and turn off motors. This is
normal. No damage to machine will result.
FILLING SOLUTION TANK
FOR SAFETY:
Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, turn off
machine and remove key.
1.
Turn the machine power off.
2.
Set the parking brake.
3.
Remove solution tank cover.
4.
Fill the solution tank with clean water, leaving
enough room for the required amount of
cleaning solution. The solution tank capacity
filled to 2” (5cm) from bottom of fill inlet is 35
gallons (132 liters). The water must not be
hotter than 140
°
F (60
°
C) to prevent damage
to the tank.
5.
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 solution tank. Commercially
available, high alkaline floor cleaners, are
suitable for use in the
solution system.
NOTE: Read the chemical manufacturers
recommended proportion instructions.
6.
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
deck/squeegee.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible
results, the area which is to be cleaned should be
swept before scrubbing. Large debris, strings &
wire must be removed to prevent being caught in
brushes or squeegee.
