8. Loosen the two knobs on the clamping studs located on
the left side of the machine. Rotate the two studs
outward from the center of the brush head unit.

the brush head unit towards you and slide the unit out of
the machine.
How to Operate the Squeegee and the Vacuum Motor
The squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor
removes the dirty solution from the floor. To operate the
squeegee, follow this procedure:
1. To lower the squeegee and start the vacuum motor,
press the squeegee up/down switch to the down position.
NOTE: The vacuum motor will start immediately
when the down position of the switch is pressed, but
the squeegee will not lower until the machine begins
to traverse forward.
2. To raise the squeegee, press the squeegee up/down
switch to the up position. The squeegee will then raise
and the vacuum motor will shut off.
NOTE: The center position of the squeegee up/
down switch will raise the squeegee, but lets the
vacuum motor continue to run to avoid drips flowing
back through the squeegee and onto the floor. This
also allows the use of the off isle wand option.
NOTE: The squeegee will rise automatically when traversing
in reverse during scrubbing operations.
How to Fill the Solution Tank
The solution tank fill port is located under the seat (see figure
34). To fill the solution tank, follow this procedure:
1. Turn the key switch to the “OFF” position and set the
parking brake.
2. Rotate the seat support forward and open the solution
tank lid.
3. Add a cleaning chemical to the solution tank. For the
correct amount of chemical, follow the directions shown
on the container. NOTE: Excess foam in the recovery
tank could damage the vacuum motor, so use only
the minimum amount of detergent necessary.
WARNING: Always use low foam detergent. To
avoid the production of foam,
before starting to clean, put a
minimum quantity of antifoam liquid
into the recovery tank. NEVER USE
PURE ACID.
4. Fill the solution tank with clean water (see figure 34).
5. After filling the solution tank, close the solution tank lid and
return the seat support.
WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning
materials used with this type of
machine can leave wet areas on the
floor surface. These areas can
cause a dangerous condition for the
operator or other persons. Always
put CAUTION signs near the
area you are cleaning.
