3. Place the squeegee up/down switch in the middle
position to raise the squeegee and allow the vacuum
motor to continue to run. Allow the vacuum motor to run
for another 20 seconds and then place the squeegee up/
down switch to the up position. This will shut the vacuum
motor off.
4. Take the machine to a water drain.
5. Turn the key switch “OFF” and set the parking brake.
6. Remove the drain hose from the holding hook.
7. Unscrew the drain plug and empty the recovery tank (see
figure 43).
NOTE: To simplify the draining operation, it is
recommended to hold the hose bent with one hand and
with the other hand unscrew the knob and take off the
plug. Slowly straighten the hose so the liquid will start
draining at the desired speed.
WARNING: Use gloves to protect your hands
from contact with dangerous
solutions when preforming the steps
listed above.
8. Flush the tank. Put clean water in the tank through the
opening at the top.
9. If the tank or drain hose has an obstruction, use water
pressure to flush the tank or hose. Put the water hose
into the drain hose.
10. Leave the tank and drain plug removed to air dry.
11. Check the squeegee blade. Use a cloth to clean the
squeegee blade. If the squeegee blade is damaged or
worn, turn or replace the blade.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the squeegee, the squeegee
must be lifted when the machine is not in operation.
12. Take off the brushes and clean them with a jet stream of
water.
13. If you are scrubbing with the cylindrical brush head unit,
remove the hopper (see figure 44). Clean it carefully.
14. Use a clean cloth and wipe the surface of the machine.
15. Check the batteries and add distilled water as needed.
The correct level is between ¼’ (½ cm) below the bottom
of the tube in each cell and above the tops of the plates.
See the instructions in the section of this book called
“Battery Maintenance”.
CAUTION: Tap water may contain contaminants
that will damage batteries. Batteries
must be refilled with distilled water
only.
WARNING: Lead acid batteries generate gases
which can cause an explosion. NO
SMOKING. Always wear eye
protection and protection clothing
when working near batteries.
16. Charge the batteries. See the instructions in the section
of this book called “How to Charge the Batteries”.
