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 ES 2832 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 ES 2832 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.
