WARNING: This machine is capable of maximum
head pressure with worn brushes. With
this feature, there is the possibility of
exceeding the recommended brush
pressure on new brushes.
This will
either create reoccurring 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 brushes are
rotating on the floor. Pre-wet brushes or keep light
pressure on brushes until solution flow is adequate to keep
brushes from scratching the floor.
To pre-wet brushes you should first turn the speed knob to
the lowest setting. Then lower brushes until brushes are just
touching the floor. Activate the forward/reverse switch to
start motor and solution flow.
7. Turn the solution knob to the right to activate the flow of
solution. Adjust the flow of clean solution to the flow
desired.
8. Move the machine across the floor in the forward direction.
9. Make a 180° turn.
NOTE: When you make more passes across the floor, let the
brush clean 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.
