TO BEGIN SCRUBBING
When operating the machine around people, pay
close attention for unexpected movement. Use
extra caution around children.
Flammable liquids and/or reactive metals can
cause explosions or fire! Do not pick up.
1.
Turn the machine power on.
2.
Lower the squeegee.
3.
Turn the vacuum on.
4.
Lower the scrub brushes to the floor.
5.
Turn the scrub brushes on (brushes will start
when machine is propelled).
6.
Drive machine forward to begin scrubbing.
NOTE: Shut machine off immediately if water or
foam is expelled from the machine.
7.
Adjust the speed of the machine, solution flow
and scrub brush pressure as necessary.
NOTE: Once solution flow rate is set it is not
necessary to shut off solution when stopping
scrubbing. Solution flow is automatically shut off
when brush motors stop. When brush motors are
activated, flow automatically resumes.
TO STOP SCRUBBING
1.
Release the directional control lever.
2.
Turn the scrub brushes off.
3.
Raise the scrub brushes.
4.
Raise the squeegee.
5.
Turn the vacuum off.
6.
Turn the machine power off.
DOUBLE SCRUB
Floors which are heavily soiled or have thick
accumulations of floor finish may not clean
sufficiently with one pass. In these cases it will be
necessary to double scrub.
To double scrub, make the first pass over the
surface being cleaned with the squeegee up,
vacuum off, the solution on, and brushes down. This
allows the
solution to stay in contact with the soil
while loosening the surface accumulation with the
brushes. Allow time for the first application to stay in
contact with the floor. Length of time between the
first and second pass depends on amount of
accumulation and the type of chemical being used.
A second scrubbing with the squeegee down and
again the solution and brushes on will further loosen
soil. The additional application of solution will further
assist the difficult cleaning job.
FOR SAFETY:
When using machine, go slow on
inclines and slippery services.
EMPTYING AND CLEANING TANKS
1.
Park the machine next to a floor drain. Drain
hose is on left rear corner of the machine.
2.
Turn the machine power off and set parking
brake, if your machine is equipped with this
option.
SOLUTION TANK
1.
Unhook the small drain hose from the retainer.
Unscrew T-handle on plug enough to loosen
plug, then lower hose in direction of the drain.
Slowly remove plug from drain hose.
2.
Remove the solution tank cover.
3.
Flush the solution tank out with clean water and
run several gallons of clean water through
systems. Do not use water hotter than 140°F
(60°C) to clean tank. Damage may occur.
NOTE: Never allow solution to remain in tank.
Damage to tank, seals and valves could occur.
4.
Replace the drain plug and secure drain hose in
bracket.
RECOVERY TANK
1.
Unhook the large drain hose from the retainer.
Unscrew the T-handle on plug enough to loosen
plug, then lower hose in direction of the drain.
Do not stand in front of end of hose. Recovered
solution will come out with force. Slowly remove
plug from drain hose.
2.
Raise solution tank to access recovery tank.
Make sure the support arm is fully engaged.
Flush the recovery tank out with clean water. Do
not use water hotter than 140°F (60°C) to clean
tank. Damage may occur.
3.
Clean off the float switch and check for free
movement of float. The float switch is located in
the front of the recovery tank.
4.
Replace
the drain plug and secure drain hose in
bracket.
5.
If machine is to be stored, leave solution tank in
raised position.
