WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials used with this

For one touch automatic cleaning follow this procedure:
1. Turn the key switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the solution tank.
3. Sit on the driver seat. NOTE: The machine will not traverse if the
operator is not properly seated.
4. Turn the key switch “ON”. NOTE: The key switch turns on the
battery and LED screen displays, which shows the machines
condition.
5. The machine has a one touch button on the control panel (see fi gure
33) that is preset for brush pressure and solution fl ow. Momentarily
depress the one touch button if you wish to use these settings.
NOTE: If this is not the settings that you desire see page 16 or

For manual control of cleaning process, follow these

The brushes will start rotating only when the machine begins to
traverse.
7. Reset the solution fl ow valve by using the + / - solution switch.
NOTE: The solution will fl ow only if the machine is moving

8. After a few feet of scrubbing, check to see that the amount of solu-
tion being applied is correct and that the squeegee is picking up
water and drying the fl oor. Make adjustments as required.
9. Once the machine is set properly continue to scrub until the solution
low indicator comes on or until you run out of solution.
NOTE: When making multiple passes across the fl oor, overlap the brush
cleaning path approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of the area already cleaned by
the brush.
NOTE: During most cleaning procedures, apply and remove the solution in
one operation.
