OPERATING THE MACHINE

WARNING!
Be sure you understand the operator controls and their functions.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills. Clean only while
ascending (driving up) the ramp.
1 Follow the instructions in the "Preparing The Machine For Use" section of this manual.
2 Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. The Hour Meter will display for 5 seconds followed by the Battery
Indicator in the upper left on the Display Panel (D2).
3 To transport the machine to the work area, push the Drive Paddle (20) forward to go forward or pull the Drive Paddle (20) backward to move the machine in
reverse. Vary the pressure on the Drive Paddle (20) to obtain the desired speed.
NOTE: Speed Control Knob (21) is used to control the maximum speed in either forward or reverse.
4 Press the Scrub ON Switch (J) once for Maintenance Extraction (D5) or twice for Restoration Extraction (D6) mode.
Maintenance Mode: Lower solution fl ow, higher travel speed. Recommended for frequent surface cleaning.
Restoration Mode: Higher solution fl ow, lower travel speed. Recommended for less frequent deep cleaning.
NOTE: The solution, vacuum and detergent (AXP only) systems are automatically activated when the Scrub ON Switch (J) is pressed. Any individual system
can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time while extractiing.
5 When the Drive Paddle (20) is in the neutral position, the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (AXP only) systems are activated but not running. Grip the
Operator Control Handle (19) and push the Drive Paddle (20) forward to start the scrub, vacuum, solution and detergent (AXP only), and to move the machine
forward. For best results, move the machine at a slow walking speed. Press the Solution/Pre-Spray Switch (C) once to turn OFF while making sharp turns.
Pull the Drive Paddle (20) backward to move the machine in reverse. The brushes will run while moving the machine in reverse, but solution and detergent will
not be dispensed.
6 Watch the fl uid entering the Recovery Tank Dome Lid (3). If there is a large amount of suds in the recovery tank, add a defoamer chemical to the recovery tank.
CAUTION!
Empty the recovery tank before the fl uid or foam enters the Vacuum Motor Inlet Screens (12) at the rear of the Recovery Tank Dome
Lid (3).
If there is little or no fl uid entering the recovery tank, check the Solution Drain Hose / Level Indicator (22), the solution tank may be empty. Each time the solution
tank becomes empty be sure to empty the recovery tank prior to refi lling the solution tank.
7 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub OFF Switch (H) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes
and solution fl ow and the scrub deck will raise UP. NOTE: the vacuum will stop after a 10 second delay, this is to allow any remaining water left in the vacuum
hose to be picked up rather than draining back onto the fl oor.
8 Drive the machine to a designated wastewater "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (25) from its
hanger, then open the cap (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled fl ow of waste water). The Recovery Tank
Drain Hose (25) can be squeezed to regulate the fl ow. Refi ll the solution tank and continue cleaning.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (3) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose Cap (32) is properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.
When the batteries require recharging the Battery Low Indicator (D9) will come on and the vacuum motor will shut off after 30 seconds. Transport the machine to a
service area and fully recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
