Overview

This document describes the Victor V-SD 40 Scrubber Drier, a floor care machine designed for cleaning hard floor areas in various settings such as schools, hospitals, and office buildings.

Function Description

The Victor V-SD 40 is a scrubber drier that simultaneously cleans and dries hard floors. It operates by applying a cleaning solution to the floor, scrubbing it with a rotating brush, and then recovering the dirty water using a squeegee and vacuum system. The machine is designed for efficient and safe operation, with features that simplify its use and maintenance.

  • Brush Diameter: 500mm
  • Brush Speed: 175 rpm
  • Working Down Force: 35 KG
  • Solution Tank Capacity: 40 Litres
  • Recovery Tank Capacity: 40 Litres
  • Drying Width: 750mm
  • Cable Length: 24M
  • Vacuum Motor Power: 1150W
  • Brush Motor Power: 1000W
  • Dimensions (Height x Width x Length): 1100mm x 570mm x 1000mm
  • Weight (Empty): 73Kgs

The machine is equipped with a key switch for power on/off, and separate activation pads for the vacuum and brush functions, each with indicator lights (amber when not in use, green when active). A "Tank Full Light" indicates when the recovery tank needs emptying. Water flow can be adjusted incrementally using a dedicated control, with lights indicating the selected level. A "Power On Indicator Light" confirms that power is supplied to the machine.

Usage Features

The V-SD 40 is designed for user-friendly operation. Before use, the solution tank is filled with clean water (up to 60°C) and the recommended cleaning solution. The brush or drive board is attached by tipping the machine backward, aligning the board with a grey locator ball, and rotating it clockwise to lock. The skirt is then lowered to act as a splash guard. The squeegee assembly is removed from its housed position and its pressure can be adjusted via a knob on the kick bar.

To operate, the user holds the handle and clasps the "Grab & Go Bar," pulling it upwards. The machine is started using the key switch and desired settings are input on the control panel. If the machine stops or cuts out during operation, a reset button can be pressed and held for a few seconds to restart it. If the problem persists, the brush or pad should be checked for wear or oversoiling.

The vacuum motor continues to run for eight seconds after the "Grab & Go Bar" is released, ensuring all excess water is removed and preventing water from traveling back through the hose. This feature enhances drying efficiency.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the V-SD 40. Before any maintenance, cleaning, or part replacement, the machine must be unplugged from the mains socket.

After each cleaning task, both the recovery and solution tanks should be drained. The recovery tank should be cleaned to prevent dirt buildup and odors. The squeegee assembly should be replaced in its park position, and the brush/drive board should be removed and placed on its hanging hook. The power cable should be neatly coiled onto its hook.

To clean the recovery tank more thoroughly, the hose from the squeegee assembly and the solution tank dump hose can be removed, and the open ends of the hoses attached together. Turning on the vacuum will then draw clean liquid from the solution tank into the recovery tank, which can then be drained.

The clear cover of the machine should be left off when not in use to allow the filter to dry out and prevent moisture buildup in the motor. The recovery tank splash foam must be inserted correctly and changed at least every three months; failure to do so can cause machine failure and invalidate the warranty. The squeegee should be monitored for normal wear and tear.

The machine is earthed, and the wiring in the mains lead follows standard color codes: blue for neutral, brown for live, and yellow/green for earth. Only "Victor" approved cables should be used for replacement.

The product is registered under the WEEE Directive, and procedures are in place for end-of-life treatment and disposal of obligated equipment. Users are advised to contact the company or visit their website for more details on disposal.
