OPERATING THE MACHINE

WARNING!

Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.

While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in “Starting the Machine” section and drive the machine to the starting point for cleaning.

1 Press the Solution Switch (H) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the ﬂ oor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the ﬂ oor surface when starting to

scrub with dry brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch (E).

2 Press the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (E) once for Regular Scrub. Press the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (F) once for Heavy Scrub or twice

for Extreme Scrub mode. The solution ﬂ ow has settings that coincide with the scrub pressure, it will increase and decrease along with the scrub

pressure.

NOTE: The solution ﬂ ow rate can also be increased or decreased independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Flow Increase

Switch (J) or Solution Flow Decrease Switch (K), observe the Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10) (see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub

pressure adjustments will reset the solution ﬂ ow rate to default.

3 When the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (E) is selected, the brushes and squeegee are automatically lowered to the ﬂ oor. The scrub, solution,

vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are all automatically enabled and will start when the Drive Pedal (3) is activated. Any individual

system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.

NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.

4 Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust

the machine speed and solution ﬂ ow when necessary according to the condition of the ﬂ oor. Pull the Timed Solution Off Paddle (R) before entering a

turn to temporarily turn off the solution ﬂ ow. The Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10) will be replaced by a 5 second countdown timer showing how

long the solution ﬂ ow will be off. Pull paddle again before timer runs out to cancel solution off.

NOTE: While scrubbing the maximum machine speed can be set by pressing the Speed Limiter Switch (N). Adjust the machine to the desired speed

using the Drive Pedal (3) then press the Speed Limiter Switch (N). The operator can now press the pedal all the way forward without increasing the

machine speed thereby reducing operator fatigue. The machine Speed (C5) is shown on the display.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the ﬂ oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.

5 When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine,

you may be dispensing too much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.

6 The machine defaults to the last cleaning mode used Minimum or Maximum Concentration Detergent (if detergent is installed and was activated).

Pull the Burst of Power Paddle (S) to override the current cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution ﬂ ow and the detergent

ratio (unless in Maximum Concentration). This will cause the Burst of Power Indicator (C15) to be displayed along with a countdown timer for one

minute, solution ﬂ ow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent ratio will be at the Maximum

Concentration level (detergent system will be turned on at Minimum Concentration level if it was off).

NOTE: Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (Q) will cycle between Minimum Concentration, Maximum Concentration and

detergent off. The EcoFlex system will only function if the scrub system (E) has been enabled.

7 For extremely dirty ﬂ oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a “double-scrub” operation may be required. This operation

is the same as a one-pass scrubbing except on the ﬁ rst pass the squeegee and scrub deck blades are in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand

Switch (L) to raise the squeegee). Open both scrub deck Side Doors (15) and step down on the side blade Raise/Lower Lever (AA) to raise the side

blades. This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the ﬂ oor to work longer. The ﬁ nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee and

side blades (step down on Lever (AA) again to lower) lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.

8 The recovery tank has a Tank Full Switch (19) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When

this switch is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the switch activated.

NOTE: Scrub, solution and detergent indicators vanish and the Recovery Tank Full Indicator (C13) appears on the Display Panel when the switch is

activated.

9 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the One-Touch Scrub Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the

scrub brushes and solution ﬂ ow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an

additional delay (this is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).

10 Drive the machine to a designated waste water “DISPOSAL SITE” and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (20) from its rear

storage area, then remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled ﬂ ow of waste water).

Reﬁ ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (20) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water

correctly.

When the batteries require recharging the Battery Low Voltage Indicator (C14) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution ﬂ ow will stop and the scrub

deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional delay. Transport the machine to a service

area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
