The switch should be in the “on” position during normal operation.
OPERATION When the red light lights up, the machine will completely shut down. BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR The battery discharge indicator shows the charge level of the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, all seven lights are lit. As the batteries discharge, the lights go out until only the left light is blinking. Sweeping functions will continue. Recharge the batteries when only the left light is blinking. NOTE: Do not charge batteries more often than necessary.

MAINTENANCE LEAD ACID BATTERIES BATTERIES The batteries are designed to hold their power for long periods of time. The lifetime of the batteries is limited to number of charges the batteries receive. To get the most life from the batteries, recharge them immediately when the battery discharge indicator begins to blink. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell before and after charging, and after every 25 hours of operation. Never add acid to the batteries. Add distilled water only.
MAINTENANCE CHARGING BATTERIES The following charging instructions are intended for battery chargers supplied with the machine. To prolong the life of the batteries only recharge the batteries if the machine was used for a total of 30 minutes or more. Do not leave batteries discharged for lengthy periods. WARNING: Fire Or Explosion Hazard. Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep battery compartment open when charging. 1.
MAINTENANCE NOTE: The machine will not operate once the battery charger is connected. 5. Once the batteries are fully charged, the charger will stop suppling power, but will continue to monitor the battery voltage. The charger will restart if the batteries self--discharge. NOTE: The charger may take up to 30 seconds to turn off once the charger cord is disconnected. During this time, the machine will not power up. The charger cord must also be disconnected for 30 seconds before the charger can be restarted.
MAINTENANCE INSTALLING THE MAIN BRUSH BRUSHES MAIN BRUSH Inspect the main brush daily for wear or damage. Remove any string or wire tangled on the main brush, the main brush drive hub, or the main brush idler hub. REMOVING THE MAIN BRUSH FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, set parking brake, and turn off machine. 1. Place the main brush lift handle in the (Main Brush Free-Float) position. 2. Open the main brush access door (D). 3.
MAINTENANCE SIDE BRUSH THERMO-SENTRY The side brush should be inspected daily for wear or damage. Remove any string or wire tangled from the side brush, side brush drive hub, or shaft. The side brush should be replaced when the remaining bristle length measures 25 mm (1 in) in length. The Thermo--Sentry, located inside the hopper, senses the temperature of the air pulled up from the hopper. If there is a fire in the hopper, the Thermo--Sentry stops the vacuum fan and cuts off the air flow.
MAINTENANCE DUST FILTER REMOVING THE DUST FILTER The dust filter is located inside the dust filter compartment. The filter shaker will shake the filter for 20 seconds when the machine is powered off. Inspect and clean or replace the dust filter after every 100 hours of operation. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, set parking brake, and turn off machine.
MAINTENANCE HOPPER TOP SEAL SKIRTS AND SEALS The hopper top seal is located on the front edge of the machine frame. Inspect the seal for wear or damage daily. HOPPER LIP SKIRT The hopper lip skirt is located on the lower rear of the hopper.
