How To Prepare the Machine For Operation (cont.)
NOTE: To prevent permanent damage to the batteries,
avoid their complete discharge. Never leave the batteries
completely discharged, even if the machine is not being
used. When recharging the batteries, keep the base
support of the seat lifted. After every 20 recharging
operations, check the level of the electrolyte and if
necessary top off with distilled water.
Level Indicators for the Charge of the Batteries
The battery meter ( see figure 13) on the control panel
has a digital read out with 4 fixed positions and also a
blinking indicator. The numbers that appear on the
display show the approximate charge level. 4 =
maximum charge, 3 = 3/4 charge, 2 = 2/4 charge, 1 =
1/4 charge, 0 = (blinking) discharged battery.
NOTE: A few seconds after the meter reads “0” it will
start blinking. The brush motors will then automatically
switch off.
How To Install the Squeegee
To install the squeegee onto the machine, follow this
procedure:
1. Insert the left stud bolt (1) on the squeegee into the
left slotted hole in the support frame on the
machine. Install the hair pin (2) into the stud bolt
hole (see figure 14).
2. Attach the vacuum hose cuff to the squeegee hose
fitting (see figure 15).
3. The squeegee assembly has a break away feature
that is also used for mounting the squeegee on the
right side. Loosen the spring loaded tension knob
on the squeegee. Slide the stud with the washer
and spring into the slotted hole in the support frame
on the machine. The washer should be located
above the support. Tighten the knob to apply the
spring tension (see figure 16).
NOTE: To prevent damage to the squeegee or machine,
the squeegee was designed to break away from the
machine on the right side. If the squeegee is impacted
and it breaks away from the machine, simply reinstall it
by following step 3.
How to Adjust the Squeegee
During operation, the rear squeegee blade should have
a constant 3/16” flare along the entire squeegee blade
(see figure 17).
1. The squeegee body can be tilted to adjust the
squeegee blade flare in the middle to match the
flare on the ends. To adjust the tilt, loosen the lock
nut (3) on the adjusting bolt located on the left side
of the squeegee (see figure 14).
2. Turn the adjusting bolt counter clockwise to
increase the flare in the middle.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise to decrease the
flare to the middle.
