Procedures For Transporting
How to Put the Machine Into a Van or Truck
WARNING: This machine is heavy. Get
assistance before attempting
to transport or move it. Use
two able persons to move the
machine on a ramp or
incline. Always move slowly.
Do not turn the machine on a
ramp. Do not stop and leave
the machine on a ramp or
incline. The loading ramp
must be a minimum of 32"
wide.
WARNING: Machines can topple over if
guided over the edges of
stairs or loading docks and
cause injury or damage.
Stop and leave this machine
only on a level surface.
When you stop the machine,
put all switches into their
"OFF" position.
1. Make sure the loading ramp is at least eight
(8) feet (2.5m) long and a minimum of 32" (0.8m)
wide, and strong enough to support the machine.
2. Make sure the ramp is clean and dry.
3. Put the ramp in position.
4. Remove squeegee assembly, brush housing and
brush or pad driver before loading. Clarke
recommends that both the solution tank and
recovery tank are empty before loading.
5. On the L17/L20 models only, turn the key switch
"ON" and press the green "ON" button.
6. Align the machine on a level surface five (5) feet
(2 m) in front of the ramp.
7. Put the traverse knob at full speed (on L17/L20
models only).
8. For the L17/L20 machines, push in either one of
the forward/reverse switches while pushing in the
white reverse switch. Back the machine up the
ramp. See figure 1.
9. For the S17/S20 machines, push the machine
backwards to the top of the ramp.
10. Switch machine "OFF", and on the L17/L20
models, turn key switch "OFF".
