MACHINE SET UP & INSTALLATION UNPACK MACHINE Be sure and check packing carton for any damage. Immediately report any damage to carrier. Be careful not to let machine vibrate while carrying, Check contents of package to ensure that the following items are included: Machine, squeegee assembly, pad driver. MACHINE SET UP PRE-OPERATION CHECKS. Sweep the outside of the machine.. Make sure the voltage of machine conform to local voltage. 3. Check that squeegee is properly installed. 4. Check that brush / pad is properly installed. 5. Bumper doesn t touch the floor directly. The gap between the bumper and the floor surface can be adjusted by adjusting sliding plate. 6. The forward speed of machine can be controlled by turning the butterfly nut. Turn the nut clockwise to speed up machine. or turn the nut anticlockwise to slow down machine. 7. Make sure the working surface can support the machine weight, the gradient of the floor can t exceed the limit that machine allow. INSTALLING PAD DRIVER OR BRUSH. Unplug machine.. Tilt the machine backwards, line up the drive pulley hub with the hole of brush or pad driver, make sure the three blocks are fitted into the three slots of drive pulley. 3. If a pad driver is being used, the appropriate pad should be attached to the pad driver first. 4. Plug power cord into a grounded outlet, switch on the brush motor and then pull the operating triggers gently to mount the pad driver or brush automatically. INSTALLING THE SQUEEGEE. Loosen the two knobs on the squeegee and slide the squeegee into the slots at the rear of the squeegee bracket. (the wheels on the squeegee point to the back). Tighten the knobs securely. FILLING THE SOLUTION TANK. The fill port is located at the rear of machine.. Fill solution tank with water. (water temperature should not exceed 04 F) The clear tube in the back right of the machine has gallon markers to help determine the water level in the solution tank : Do not put any flammable materials into solution tank. This can cause an explosion or a fire. Only use recommended cleaning chemicals. Contact your janitorial supply distributor for recommendations on proper chemicals. MACHINE OPERATION : Do not operate machine unless you have read and understand this manual.. Adjust control housing to a comfortable operating height by squeezing together the two thumb levers directly underneath the housing.. Lower squeegee assembly to the floor. 3. Turn brush motor switch to on position. 4. Turn vacuum motor switch to on position. 5. Rotate the ball valve of solution tank to horizontal position. Solution will not begin to flow until the operating triggers are pulled. 6. To begin scrubbing, pull on one or both of the red operating triggers, when these triggers are pulled, the pad driver will begin to spin and the solution will begin to flow. 7. Begin scrubbing by moving the machine forward. : Do not keep the machine in the same position with the pad / brush spinning, or you could cause damage to the floor.
8. Adjust solution flow by adjusting the position of ball valve knob. WHILE OPERATING MACHINE. Occasionally look through the clear recovery tank lid to see if there is any foam build-up. If excessive foam is found, add defoamer to the recovery tank. : Foam must not enter the float shut-off screen, or damage can occur to the vacuum motor. Foam will not activate the machines float shut-off device.. Occasionally view the clear tube at the back right of the machine to check the amount of cleaning solution that is right of the machine. If the squeegee assembly leaves streaks on the floor, raise the squeegee off the floor and wipe the blades down with a damp cloth. : Do not use your fingers to wipe or remove debris from the blades, as injury may occur. When the solution tank runs empty, turn off the brush switch and ball valve of solution tank. Keep the squeegee down and continue to vacuum until all the dirty water is picked up. TANK DRAINING. Turn the switches on the control panel to off position.. Raise the squeegee, transport machine to approved area for draining tank(s). DRAINING THE RECOVERY (DIRTY) TANK : Any time scrubbing is completed, or when refilling solution tank, the recovery tank should be drained and cleaned. : If the recovery tank is not drained when the solution tank has been refilled, foam or water may enter the float shut-off mechanism and cause damage to the vacuum motor.. Remove the drain hose from the holder, and place the drain hose over the floor drain. Twist off the drain hose plug to begin the draining process.. Clean the recovery tank after every use. Use a fresh water hose to rinse out the recovery tank. Be careful not to spray water into the float shut-off mechanism. : If you are storing the machine for any period of time, always leave the clear recovery tank lid off the tank so the tank can dry completely and smell fresh. DRAINING THE SOLUTION (CLEAN) TANK : Any time scrubbing operation is completed, the solution tank should be drained and cleaned.. Pull down on the clear tube (back right of the machine) to remove it from the hose barb. This will allow the solution to flow freely into a bucket or floor drain.. Rinse the solution tank with clean water after every use. This will help prevent chemical buildup and clogging of the solution lines. 3. Once tank is rinsed, flushed and drained, reconnect the clear tube to the hose barb. Be sure the tube is pushed all the way up on the hose barb.
