SCRUBBING
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.
Follow the instructions in preparing the machine for use section of this manual. Start the engine following the instructions in the appropriate
"Starting the ... Engine" section (LP and Diesel models).
1
While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel (tilt steering is optional) to a comfortable operating position.
2
Release the Parking Brake (38). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (37) to
go forward or the rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.
3
Press and hold the Solution Switch (U) to pre-wet the fl oor, solution will be dispensed while the switch is held. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring
of the fl oor surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the One-Touch™ Scrub Switch (R).
4
Press the One-Touch™ Scrub Switch (R), the scrub deck and squeegee will automatically be lowered to the fl oor. The scrub, vacuum, solution and
detergent (EcoFlex models) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (37) is activated.
The scrub pressure will default to Normal (one scrub pressure indicator lit). Use the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (Q) and Scrub Pressure
Decrease Switch (S) to change between Normal, Heavy and Extreme Scrub modes. The solution fl ow rate will automatically adjust to coincide with
the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The solution fl ow rate can be changed independently of the scrub pressure simply by pressing the Solution Flow Increase (T) or Solution
Flow Decrease Switch (V). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution fl ow rate to correspond with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are automatically enabled when the One-Touch™ Scrub Switch (R) is
pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.
NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises and the solution fl ow will stop.
5
Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3" (5.08-7.62cm). Adjust the
machine speed and solution fl ow when necessary according to the condition of the fl oor.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the fl oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning (the brushes will turn OFF after a 2 second
delay when the drive pedal is placed in the neutral position).
Raise scrub deck when crossing speed bumps.
6
When scrubbing, check behind the machine occasionally to see that all of the waste water is being picked up. If there is water trailing the machine,
you may be dispensing too much solution, the recovery tank may be full, or the squeegee tool may require adjustment.
7
The machine defaults to the Low Concentration Detergent cleaning mode (if detergent is installed) (Burst of Power Switch Indicator is lit) conserving
solution and detergent. Press the Burst of Power Switch (P) to override the Low Concentration Detergent cleaning mode and temporarily increase
scrub pressure, solution fl ow and the detergent ratio. This will cause the indicator to fl ash for one minute, solution fl ow rate will increase to the next
level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent ratio will increase to the next higher ratio from the last one used (detergent
system will be turned on if it was off).
NOTE: Pressing and holding the Burst of Power Switch (P) for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the
Burst of Power Switch (P) again. Cycling the Key Switch (A) does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the scrub
system has been enabled.
8
For extremely dirty fl oors, a one-pass scrubbing operation may not be satisfactory and a "double-scrub" operation may be required. This operation
is the same as a one-pass scrubbing except on the fi rst pass the squeegee is in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (W) to raise the
squeegee). This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the fl oor to work longer. The Side Skirts (8 & 39) can also be raised for double scrubbing
if needed and held in place with the catch (AE) shown in Figure 4. The fi nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee and skirts lowered
to pick up the accumulated solution.
9
The recovery tank has two shut-off fl oats (52) that cause ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When the
fl oat(s) is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the fl oat activated.
NOTE: The Warning Indicator (J) will light up RED and the Recovery Full Icon (C21) will display when the shut-off fl oat (52) is activated. If the control
repeatedly gives a full indication when the tank is not full check to make sure the fl oats move freely.
10 When the operator wants to stop scrubbing, press the One-Touch™ Scrub Switch (R) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes, solution
fl ow and detergent fl ow. The scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay (this
is to allow any remaining water to be picked up without turning the vacuum back on).
11 Drive the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (7)
from its storage area, then unscrew 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 (7) can be squeezed to regulate the fl ow. Refi ll the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Lid (5) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (7) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water
correctly.
Battery Models: When the batteries require recharging the Battery Low Indicator (C12) will be displayed. Then the scrub and sweep systems will
automatically shut down. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the instructions in the maintenance section of
this manual.
