MACHINE START AND STOP

Starting the machine

1. Prepare the machine as shown in the previous sections.
2. Turn the ignition key (58) to "I" without pressing the drive pedal (4). Check if the battery green warning light (62) turns on.
•
If the yellow or red warning light turns on, turn the ignition key (58) back to "0" and charge the batteries (see the procedure
in Maintenance chapter).
3. Drive the machine to the working place with both hands on the steering wheel (1) and by pressing the pedal (4).
4. Reverse speed is selected with the switch (51, LED 52 on).
5. To go back to forward speed press again the switch (51, LED 52 off).
NOTE
The driver's seat (17) is equipped with a safety sensor which allows the machine to be moved with the pedal (4) only
when the operator is on the driver's seat.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with an anti-skid safety system (LED (72) flashing) that reduces the speed when turning and
when the machine tilts laterally, regardless of the pressure on the pedal.
In this case, the reduction of speed is not a malfunction but a characteristic that improves the machine stability and
safety in every condition.
6. Lower the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by pressing switch (63).
Press the solution flow control switches (59 and 60) according to the type of cleaning to be performed.
7.
8. Start scrubbing, by starting it with both hands on the steering wheel (1) and by pressing the pedal (4).
•
Adjust the speed with the switches (69) according to the necessities or the work to be performed.
NOTE
The machine is equipped with a safety system that turns on the brushes and vacuum system only when the machine is
moving.

Stopping the machine

9. Release the pedal (4).
10. It is not necessary to lock the machine during stopping or parking, because the electromagnetic brake on the wheel turns on
automatically when the drive pedal is not pressed.
11. Lift the brush/pad-holder deck and the squeegee by pressing the switch (63).

MACHINE OPERATION (SCRUBBING/DRYING)

1. Start the machine as shown in the previous paragraph.
2. If necessary, adjust the solution quantity by pressing the switches (59 and 60).
3. If necessary, to reduce the noise, turn on the mute function by pressing the switch (55).
NOTE
The mute function will reduce the vacuum suction performances as well, so it is suggested to use the mute function only
on smooth floors without joints.
NOTE
For correct scrubbing/drying of floors at the sides of the walls, Clarke suggests to go near the walls with the right side of
the machine as shown in figure 4.
