INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
OPERATING THE MACHINE
In short This section explains how to scrub a floor: pre-wet the floor, turn on One-Touch Scrub, drive forward at walking speed, and watch for water left behind. It also covers double-scrub, the full recovery tank, emptying the tank, and what happens when the batteries run low.
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.
While on ramps or inclines, avoid sudden stops when loaded. Avoid abrupt sharp turns. Use low speed down hills.
To Scrub...
Follow the instructions in “Starting the Machine” section and drive the machine to the starting point for cleaning.
- Press the Solution Switch (H) and hold for 5 seconds to pre-wet the floor. NOTE: This will help prevent scarring of the floor surface when starting to scrub with dry brushes. This must be done prior to pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch (E).
- Press the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (E) once for Regular Scrub. Press the Scrub Pressure Increase Switch (F) once for Heavy Scrub or twice for Extreme Scrub mode. The solution flow has settings that coincide with the scrub pressure, it will increase and decrease along with the scrub pressure.
NOTE: The solution flow rate can also be increased or decreased independently of the scrub pressure by pressing the Solution Flow Increase Switch (J) or Solution Flow Decrease Switch (K), observe the Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10) (see Control Panel). Any subsequent scrub pressure adjustments will reset the solution flow rate to default. - When the One-Touch Scrub ON Switch (E) is selected, the brushes and squeegee are automatically lowered to the floor. The scrub, solution, vacuum and detergent (EcoFlex models) systems are all automatically enabled and will start when the Drive Pedal (3) is activated. 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. - 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 flow when necessary according to the condition of the floor. Pull the Timed Solution Off Paddle (R) before entering a turn to temporarily turn off the solution flow. The Solution Flow Rate Bar Graph (C10) will be replaced by a 5 second countdown timer showing how long the solution flow will be off. Pull paddle again before timer runs out to cancel solution off.
NOTE: While scrubbing the maximum machine speed can be set by pressing the Speed Limiter Switch (N). Adjust the machine to the desired speed using the Drive Pedal (3) then press the Speed Limiter Switch (N). The operator can now press the pedal all the way forward without increasing the machine speed thereby reducing operator fatigue. The machine Speed (C5) is shown on the display.
CAUTION! To avoid damaging the floor, 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 last cleaning mode used Minimum or Maximum Concentration Detergent (if detergent is installed and was activated). Pull the Burst of Power Paddle (S) to override the current cleaning mode and temporarily increase scrub pressure, solution flow and the detergent ratio (unless in Maximum Concentration). This will cause the Burst of Power Indicator (C15) to be displayed along with a countdown timer for one minute, solution flow rate will increase to the next level, scrub pressure will increase to the next level and the detergent ratio will be at the Maximum Concentration level (detergent system will be turned on at Minimum Concentration level if it was off).
NOTE: Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Detergent Switch (Q) will cycle between Minimum Concentration, Maximum Concentration and detergent off. The EcoFlex system will only function if the scrub system (E) has been enabled. - For extremely dirty floors, 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 first pass the squeegee and scrub deck blades are in the up position (press the Vacuum/Wand Switch (L) to raise the squeegee). Open both scrub deck Side Doors (15) and step down on the side blade Raise/Lower Lever (AA) to raise the side blades. This allows the cleaning solution to remain on the floor to work longer. The final pass is made over the same area, with the squeegee and side blades (step down on Lever (AA) again to lower) lowered to pick up the accumulated solution.
- The recovery tank has a Tank Full Switch (19) that causes ALL systems to turn OFF except the drive system when the recovery tank is full. When this switch is activated, the recovery tank must be emptied. The machine will not pick up water or scrub with the switch activated.
NOTE: Scrub, solution and detergent indicators vanish and the Recovery Tank Full Indicator (C13) appears on the Display Panel when the switch is activated. - When the operator wants to stop scrubbing or the recovery tank is full, press the One-Touch Scrub Switch (E) once. This will automatically stop the scrub brushes and solution flow and the scrub deck will raise up. The squeegee will raise up after a brief delay and the vacuum will stop after an additional 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 (20) 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 flow of waste water). Refill the solution tank and continue scrubbing.
NOTE: Make sure the Recovery Tank Cover (1) and the Recovery Tank Drain Hose (20) cap are properly seated or the machine will not pick-up water correctly.
When the batteries require recharging the Battery Low Voltage Indicator (C14) will come on, the scrub brushes and solution flow will stop and the scrub deck will raise up.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SIDE BLADE MAINTENANCE
In short The side blades channel waste water to the squeegee and wear over time. To reverse or replace them, unlatch the retaining strap and turn the blade to a clean edge or swap sides, then reinstall and adjust for floor contact.
The side blade’s function is to channel the waste water to the squeegee, helping contain the water within the machines cleaning path. During normal use the blades will wear in time. The operator will notice a small amount of water leaking out underneath the side blades. A height adjustment can easily be made to lower the blades so that all the water can be picked-up by the squeegee.
To reverse or replace the scrub system side blades ...
- Unlatch and open the scrub deck side doors (15).
- See Figure 14-1. Unlatch the retaining strap (AA) and remove the strap and blade.
- The main side blade has 4 working edges as shown. Turn the blade so a clean, undamaged edge faces toward the center of the machine. Swap the right and left side blades to use the remaining two edges. Replace the blades as a set if all edges are nicked, torn or worn beyond their ability to be adjusted.
- Reinstall the blade onto the blade assembly and secure by latching the retainer strap (AA). Adjust the blade for proper contact to the floor when the brush deck is placed in the scrub position.
SIDE BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
- The down stop can be adjusted on the side blades to compensate for blade wear.
- Make sure the machine is on a level surface.
- Lower the scrub deck by pressing the One-Touch Scrub Switch (E) and drive the machine forward a short distance to ensure the blades fold over.
- Open the scrub deck side doors (15) and observe blade fold over.
- To adjust, loosen the Side Blade Lock Knob (AB). Turn the Down Stop Knob (AC) (Up or Down) to where the blades just fold over enough when scrubbing that all the waste water is contained inside the deck. NOTE: Make small adjustments to obtain good blade wiping. Do not lower the blades too much to where they fold over excessively and cause unneeded blade wear.Tighten the Side Blade Lock Knob (AB) to lock the adjustment.
SIDE BLADE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
- The scrub deck side blades have two settings for down pressure.
- See Figure 14-2. Position 1 (AE) is normal wiping pressure, it is recommended to start at this setting. Position 2 (AF) is heavy wiping pressure, this setting can be used if wiping performance is not satisfactory. NOTE: Position 2 will cause faster blade wear.
- Pull Bracket (AG) to change between the two settings. Use the same setting on both sides of the scrub deck.
DOUBLE SCRUB POSITION
- See Figure 14-3. Step down on Blade Raise/Lower Lever (AH) to raise blade. NOTE: This position can also be used for installing/removing brushes.
- When finished double scrubbing with the machine, step down again on Lever (AH) or pull Release Bracket (AJ) to lower side blade back to its normal operating position.
