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.

To Scrub...

Follow the instructions in "preparing the machine for use" section of this manual.

See Figure 8. While seated on the machine, adjust the seat and steering wheel to a comfortable operating position using the adjustment controls (23) and (5).

Turn the Master Key Switch (A) ON (I). This will display the control panel indicator lights. Reference the Battery Condition Indicator (K5) and Hour Meter (K3) before

proceeding.

Release the Parking Brake (6). To transport the machine to the work area, apply even pressure with your foot on the front of the Drive Pedal (8) to go forward or the

rear of the pedal for reverse. Vary the pressure on the foot pedal to obtain the desired speed.

Press the Solution Switch (F) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the ﬂ oor. 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 Scrub ON Switch (D).

Press the Scrub ON Switch (D) once for Regular Scrub, twice for Heavy Scrub or three times for Extreme Scrub mode. Both the solution ﬂ ow and detergent (EcoFlex

models) ﬂ ow have 3 presets that coincide with the 3 scrub modes (see Control Panel).

NOTE: There is a solution ﬂ ow rate override function if you wish to increase solution ﬂ ow without increasing scrub pressure. Hold the Solution Switch (F) for

3 seconds (solution indicator will start ﬂ ashing) and then let go. You then have 3 seconds to set a different ﬂ ow rate by simply pressing the Solution Switch (F)

repeatedly until the Solution Flow Indicator (K1) shows the rate you desire (1-5 / see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the

solution ﬂ ow rate to default.

NOTE: The scrub, solution, vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems are automatically enabled when the Scrub ON Switch

(D) is pressed. Any individual system can be turned OFF or back ON by simply pressing its switch at any time during scrubbing.

When the Scrub ON Switch (D) is selected, the brushes, squeegee and side brooms (cylindrical models) are automatically lowered to the ﬂ oor. The scrub, solution,

vacuum, detergent (EcoFlex models) and side broom (cylindrical models) systems all start when the Drive Pedal (8) is activated.

NOTE: When operating the machine in reverse the squeegee automatically raises.

Begin scrubbing by driving the machine forward in a straight line at a normal walking speed and overlap each path by 2-3 inches (50-75 mm). Adjust the machine

speed and solution ﬂ ow when necessary according to the condition of the ﬂ oor.

NOTE: The maximum scrub speed can be increased by pressing the Scrub Speed Switch (L). The normal max scrub speed is 80% of transport speed. Pressing this

switch increases it to 100% of transport speed.

If scrubbing on a smooth ﬂ oor surface or double-scrubbing turning on the Traction Control™ button (B) regulates the drive wheel torque providing increased control

and enhanced traction on the ﬂ oor.

The side broom height can be adjusted. See the "Side Broom Maintenance" section of this manual.

CAUTION!

To avoid damaging the ﬂ oor, keep the machine moving while the brushes are turning.

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.

The machine defaults to the EcoFlex cleaning mode (EcoFlex Switch Indicator is lit) conserving solution and detergent. Press the EcoFlex Switch (G) to override

the EcoFlex 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 pre-programmed ratio. The

pre-programmed ratio that is used during EcoFlex override can be adjusted. With the detergent system OFF, press and hold the Detergent ON/OFF Switch (J) for

2 seconds. The detergent indicator will ﬂ ash and each press of the switch will cycle through the available ratios (1:32, 1:50, 1:64, 1:100, 1:128, 1:150, 1:200, 1:256,

1:300, 1:400). Once the desired ratio is displayed on the screen (K9), stop and it will lock in after 5 seconds.

NOTE: Pressing and holding the EcoFlex Switch (G) for 2 seconds disables the EcoFlex system. The only way to re-enable is to push the EcoFlex Switch (G) again.

Cycling the Key Switch (A) does not re-enable the system. The EcoFlex system will only function if the Scrub System (D) has been enabled.

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 (I) to raise the squeegee). This allows the cleaning

solution to remain on the ﬂ oor to work longer. The ﬁ nal pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.

The recovery tank has a shut-off ﬂ oat (15) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this ﬂ oat is activated, the

recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the ﬂ oat activated.

NOTE: All other indicators vanish and a "Recovery Tank FULL" Indicator (K7) appears on the Display Panel when the ﬂ oat is activated. If the control repeatedly gives

a full indication when the tank is not full, the automatic shut-off feature can be disabled, have a qualiﬁ ed service technician refer to the service manual to perform this

function.

When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the Scrub OFF Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and

solution ﬂ ow and 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).

Drive the machine to a designated waste water "DISPOSAL SITE" and empty the recovery tank. To empty, pull the Drain Hose (19) from its rear storage area, then

remove the plug (hold the end of the hose above the water level in the tank to avoid sudden, uncontrolled ﬂ ow of waste water). Reﬁ ll the solution tank and continue

scrubbing.

NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (19) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.

When the batteries require recharging the Battery LOW Indicator (K8) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution ﬂ ow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up. The

squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after a brief delay. Transport the machine to a service area and recharge the batteries according to the

instructions in the Battery section of this manual.
