PRE-RUN MACHINE INSPECTION
1. Do a pre-run inspection to find possible
problems that could cause poor performance or
lost time from breakdown. Follow the same
procedure each time to avoid missing steps.
Visually check for exterior damage, leaks,
damaged or worn tires.
2. Check brushes or pads and drivers for proper
installation and wear. Weekly check scrub deck
skirts for proper contact with floor. See
BRUSHES in MAINTENANCE SECTION.
3. Check squeegee for wear and proper
adjustment. See SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT in
MAINTENANCE SECTION.
4. Check for securely attached drain hose, plug,
and caps.
5. Check battery condition, recharge if necessary.
See BATTERIES in maintenance section.
6. Check the brakes and steering for proper
operation. See BRAKES and STEERING in
MAINTENANCE SECTION.
STARTING MACHINE
NOTE: Perform pre-run machine check before
operating machine.
FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make
sure that all safety devices are in place and
operating properly.
1. The operator should be in the seat with the right
foot on the brake pedal or with the parking brake
on. The directional pedal must be in the neutral
position to avoid unintentional movement.
NOTE: The Operator must be in position on the
seat to activate machine in desired direction.
2. Turn the key switch clockwise to the “ON”
position.
3. Release the brake, then press lightly on the
directional pedal in the desired direction and
drive to the filling area.
FILLING THE MACHINE
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing
machine; stop on level surface, set parking
brake, turn off machine and remove key.
1. Set squeegee and scrub deck to up position, set
parking brake, and turn off key switch.
2. Remove solution tank cover.
Flammable materials can
cause an explosion or fire.
Do not use flammable materials in the tanks.
3.
The solution tank can be filled to the FULL
marking of the fill inlet. Leave room for
detergent. The solution tank capacity is 30
gallons (114 liters).
The water must not be hotter than 140' (60'C) to
prevent damage to the tank. Measure the
required amount of chemical into the solution
tank after filling with water. Dry chemicals
should be thoroughly mixed before being added
into solution tank. Commercially available, high
alkaline floor cleaners are suitable for use in the
solution system.
4. Inspect solution tank cover vent for obstructions.
Replace solution tank cover.
SCRUBBING
Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The longest
track is around the perimeter of the area to be
cleaned. For efficient operation, the runs should be
the longest possible without turning, stopping, or
raising or lowering scrub deck/squeegee.
In order to achieve the best possible results, the
area which is to be cleaned should be swept before
scrubbing. Large debris, strings and wire must be
removed to prevent being caught in brushes or
squeegee.
The machine will automatically raise the squeegee
slightly when reverse travel is selected. If the
machine is allowed to stand in neutral with the scrub
deck down for more than 2 seconds, the solutions
flow stops and brush motors stop. If either forward
or reverse travel is selected, the solution flow will
continue in the same setting and the scrub brush
motors will continue in their same setting once
movement of machine begins. Overlap the brush
path and avoid transporting over previously cleaned
areas.
