How To Clean A Floor
WARNING:Water solutions or cleaning
materials used with this type of
machine can leave wet areas on the
floor surfaces. These areas can
cause a dangerous condition for the
operator or other persons. Always
put CAUTION signs near the area you
are cleaning.
To clean a floor follow this procedure:
1. Set the parking brake (if equipped with machine.)
2. Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the clean
solution tank.
3. Release the parking brake (if equipped with
machine.)
4. Turn the key switch clockwise to the "ON"
position ("L" models only). Press the green "ON"
button.
5. Lower the squeegee.
6. Press the brush down button until yellow light is
illuminated and the correct pressure is achieved.
WARNING:This machine is capable of
maximum head pressure with worn
pads or brushes. With this feature,
there is the possibility of exceeding
the recommended brush pressure on
new pads or brushes. This will
either create re-occurring circuit
breaker tripping or the possibility of
lost traction and control. The brush
switch should be activated to
accomplish only enough brush
pressure for the job. This will allow
longer battery life and cleaning
time.
NOTE: Keep the machine moving when the brush is
rotating on the floor. Pre-wet brush/pad or keep light
pressure on brush until solution flow is adequate to
keep brush/pad from scratching the floor.
