CHECKING THE BATTERY WATER LEVEL
Check the water level of the batteries at least once a week.
After charging the batteries, remove the vent caps and check the water level in
each battery cell. Use distilled water in a battery filling dispenser (available at
most auto parts stores) to fill each cell to the level indicator (or to 3/8" (10 mm)
over the top of the separators). DO NOT over-fill the batteries!
CAUTION!
Acid can spill onto the floor if the batteries are overfilled.
Tighten the vent caps. Wash the tops of the batteries with a solution of baking
soda and water (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart / 1 liter of water).
LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
Once a month, apply oil to lubricate the:
• Front Swivel Casters
• Squeegee Pivot Points
• Brush Lift Linkage
• Rear Wheel Bearings
• Solution Valve Linkage
VACUUM MOTOR BRUSHES
Have your Advance Dealer check the carbon motor brushes once a year or after
300 operating hours.
IMPORTANT!
Motor damage resulting from failure to service the carbon
brushes is not covered under warranty. See the Limited War-
ranty Statement.
C - SQUEEGEE CARTRIDGE ROTATION OR REPLACE-
MENT
If the squeegee leaves narrow streaks of water, it is probably dirty or damaged.
Remove the squeegee, rinse it under warm water and inspect the squeegee
blades. Rotate the squeegee cartridge if the rear blade is cut, torn, or worn to
a radius. Replace the squeegee cartridge if both blades are cut, torn, or worn
to a radius.
To Rotate the Squeegee Cartridge...
1 Raise the Squeegee Assembly (8).
2 Remove the Squeegee Assembly (8) from the machine.
3 Remove the squeegee cartridge from the Squeegee and rotate it as
shown (or replace if both blades are severely worn or torn).
4 Reinstall the cartridge into the Squeegee Assembly (8) and the
Squeegee Assembly (8) onto the machine.
NOTE: The Squeegee Assembly (8) is not adjustable.
