INSTALLING THE BRUSH OR PAD HOLDER
WARNING!
Moving parts - turn the Solution Switch (15), Brush Switch (13)
and Vac Switch (14) OFF and disconnect the Battery Connector
/ Charger Plug (17) before servicing.
IMPORTANT!
Empty the solution and recovery tank before tipping the machine
back to install or change a brush, or to install or turn over a pad.
1
If using a pad, install the pad on the pad holder.
2
Make sure the brush drive motor is in the raised position.
3
Remove the Squeegee Assembly (8), tip the machine back and flip
down the Kick Stand (20) at the front of the machine. Use the Kick Stand
(20) to hold the machine up while installing the brush or pad holder.
4
Align the slots on the brush or pad holder with the lugs on the drive hub.
5
Turn the brush or pad holder counter-clockwise (to the left) until it locks
into place.
6
Latch the Kick Stand (20) back into place and tip the machine back
forward. Re-install the Squeegee Assembly (8).
INSTALL THE SQUEEGEE
1
Install the Squeegee Assembly (8) onto the Squeegee Mount (18) as
shown on page 1 (Figure A). Tighten the thumb nuts securely.
2
Attach the Squeegee Hose (6) to the Squeegee Assembly (8) as shown.
FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK
Fill the solution tank with a maximum of 23 liters (6 gallons) of cleaning solution.
Do not fill the solution tank above 8 cm (3 inches) from the top of the tank. The
solution should be a mixture of water and the proper cleaning chemical for the
job. Always follow the dilution instructions on the chemical container label. The
amount of solution in the Solution Tank can be determined at-a-glance with the
Solution Level Indicator (21). Line up the solution level in the clear Solution
Tank Drain Hose (7) with the marks (21) on the side of the Solution Tank (22).
The top mark indicates a full tank or 23 litres (6 gallons) and each mark under
that indicates a drop of 5.75 litres (1-1/2 gallons) or 1/4 tank.
CAUTION!
Use only low-foaming, non-flammable liquid detergents intended
for machine application.
MACHINE OPERATION - WET SCRUBBING
Note: Bold numbers in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on page
2 (Figure A).
1
Move Squeegee Raise / Lower Handle (3) down to lower the squeegee
assembly.
2
Lower the Brush Raise / Lower Pedal (5) by pushing the foot pedal down
and to the right.
3
Position the Solution Flow Control Lever (16) at its mid range.
4
Turn the Brush Switch (13), Vac Switch (14) and Solution Switch (15)
ON. The solution will not come ON unless the Brush Switch (13) is ON.
5
Grip the Operator Handle Tube (1) and push the machine forward to
scrub at a slow walking speed for best results.
CAUTION!
To avoid damaging the floor, keep the machine moving while
the brush is turning.
6
Re-adjust the Solution Flow Control Lever (16) so a thin , even layer
of solution can be seen in front of the Squeegee Assembly (8).
7
The Recovery Tank (9) has an Automatic Float Shut-Off (12) to block
the vacuum system when the recovery tank is full. You can tell when
the float closes by the sudden change in the sound of the vacuum
motor. When the float closes, the recovery tank must be emptied. The
machine will not pickup water with the float closed.
8
When the Recovery Tank (9) is full, turn the Solution Switch (15), Brush
Switch (13) and Vac Switch (14) OFF and raise the Squeegee
Assembly (8) and Brush (5). When the Brush Switch (13) is turned OFF
the solution valve will also automatically shut off. Move the machine
to a designated "DISPOSAL SITE".
NOTE: The brush motor WILL NOT shut off when the brush is raised
off the floor, so make sure you turn the Brush Switch (13) OFF before
raising the brush.
9
To empty the Recovery Tank (9) open the Solution / Recovery Tank
Cover (11) until the prop rod catches and direct the Recovery Tank
Drain Hose (10) to a designated "DISPOSAL SITE" and remove the
plug.
WET VACUUMING
Fit the machine with optional attachments for wet vacuuming.
1
Disconnect the Squeegee Hose (6) from the Squeegee Assembly (8).
2
Install a 3.8 cm (1-1/2" ) dia. hose coupler into the end of the Squeegee
Hose (6).
3
Attach a 3.8 cm (1-1/2" ) dia. vacuum hose to the coupler. Then attach
a two bend wand and squeegee floor tool to the hose.
4
Turn the Vacuum Switch (14) ON.
AFTER USE
1
Turn the Solution Switch (15), Brush Switch (13) and Vac Switch (14)
OFF.
2
Raise the brush (or pad) and raise the squeegee. Move the machine
to a designated "DISPOSAL SITE".
3
To empty the solution tank, take the Solution Tank Drain Hose (7) off
its Barbed Elbow Connector. Direct the hose to a designated "DIS-
POSAL SITE". Rinse the tank with clean water. Inspect the solution
hoses; replace if kinked or damaged.
