THE ES2832
This machine was designed with total operator comfort and ease of use in mind. All machine
components have been designed as a total system to efficiently clean dirty floors. The ES2832 has four
available scrub head types and sizes to fit specific applications. Please contact your Minuteman
representative for specific recommendations for the correct scrub head type, size, and brush type and
chemical applications.
Before using the machine, always perform the following steps to ensure proper machine operation.
Check under the machine for leaks.
Check the rear squeegee for wear and damage.
Check the solution and recovery tank levels.
After using the machine, always perform the following steps:
Check the battery charge level. Charge batteries if necessary. When charging batteries, extra precaution
is required:
Battery acid can cause burns. When working on or around batteries, always wear protective clothing and
safety glasses. Remove metal jewelry. Do not lay tools or metal objects on top of the batteries.
Charging batteries generate explosive gasses. DO NOT CHARGE BATTERIES WHEN OPEN
FLAMES OR SPARKS ARE PRESENT. DO NOT SMOKE. Make sure the charger is turned off
before disconnecting it from the batteries. Charge the batteries in a well-ventilated area. Fluid levels
should be checked before and after charging and maintained at the proper levels. If low, add distilled
water until the metal plates are covered. If the machine is not used for an extended period of time,
batteries should be kept fully charged with a boost charge once a week.
Check for wire, string, or twine wrapped around the scrub brushes.
Check the rear squeegee for wear and damage.
Check the rear squeegee suction hose and off-aisle wand hose for obstructions.
Empty and clean the debris box (cylindrical systems only).
Drain and clean the recovery tank.
Check under the machine for leaks.
Check the service records to determine maintenance requirements.
WARNING!
Be sure you understand the machine controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when tanks are filled.
Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Slow down driving speed when going downhill.
MACHINE OPERATION
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use as described in this manual.
Turn the Key switch ON (I). The Battery Gauge will light up for a few seconds then display the
Battery Condition. Do NOT attempt to operate during this time.
Select one of the five available Modes on the Control Console for the required task. Refer to the Main
Keyboard section of this manual for a complete description of the functions.
Determine the direction you need to travel by selecting forward or reverse on the Directional Switch.
Vary the acceleration knob to propel the machine at the desired speed.
Squeezing the Accelerator Handle turns on the Transport, Brushes, Water Flow, Vacuum and lowers
the Rear Squeegee accordingly to the Mode selected. If the operator triggers the accelerator handle
before, or turns the key switch “ON” at the same time, the machine will not move as a safety precaution.
