recommended. First scrub area with squeegee up,
let solution set for 15–20 minutes, then scrub area
a second time with squeegee down.
ATTENTION: Do not operate machine with pad
pressure meter in red zone, circuit breakers will
trip and floor damage may occur.
6. Change or turn pads over when worn.
7. If squeegee leaves streaks, raise and wipe blades
with a cloth. Pre-sweep area to prevent streaking.
