Machine Controls and Features
Recovery Tank Float
The Scrubtec R is equipped with a oat that shuts the vacuum off when
the recovery tank is full. The squeegee will no longer pick up water. If
this should happen, raise the squeegee and empty the recovery tank.
The Traverse
The Scrubtec R is equipped with an electronically controlled traverse
system with variable speeds in forward and reverse.
1. To traverse the machine, the power to the machine must be
turned on with the key switch and the operator must be properly
seated.
2. The traverse speed can be adjusted by varying the pressure on
the foot pedal.
NOTE: During reverse motion, the squeegee raises and the solu-
tion ow stops automatically. Reverse also reduces maximum
traverse speed.
Brakes
The machine is equipped with an electronic braking system. The elec-
tronic braking is activated automatically. NOTE: During training, you
should allow machine to come to a full stop until you become familiar
with stopping distances required.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is activated automatically when the machine comes
to a stop. It disengages automatically when you begin to traverse.
The transaxle is equipped with a manual brake release. NOTE:
Machine will not function when manual brake release is engaged. See
gure 2.
Reverse Alarm
The reverse alarm will sound intermittently and automatically when the
machine is in reverse.
