To turn the machine off, rotate key counterclockwise.
Operations 4. THROTTLE PEDAL Controls the speed of the vehicle within the speed control setting selected. Pressing the pedal causes the machine to travel in the direction selected by the Directional Control Switch. To increase speed, increase pressure on the pedal. To decrease speed, decrease pressure on the pedal. 5. HORN BUTTON The horn is activated by pressing the horn button. 6. STEERING WHEEL The steering wheel turns the front wheel causing the machine to change direction. 7.
Operations 8. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR Indicates the charge level of the batteries. The meter display is divided into 10 bars. Bars illuminated on the far right indicate full charge. Bars flashing near the left side indicate the batteries should be recharged. Further operation of the machine could damage the machine or the batteries. When the machine is left overnight with less than a full charge, the display may initially indicate a full charge.
Operations Scrub Controls 2 1 1. Function Mode Dial The first two positions are for transport only. See drive controls section. A1-Interim Mode-Slow This mode is used for interim cleaning. In this mode the machine will propel at slow speed. The brush deck will automatically lower to contact the floor. The water will flow at a low rate set by the controller. Water will automatically shut off in neutral and resume as machine propels forward.
Operations B2-Deep Extraction-Fast This mode is used for deep carpet extraction. In this mode the machine will propel at fast speed. The brush deck will automatically lower to contact the floor. The vacuum shoes will automatically lower to the floor and the vacuum motors will turn on. The water will flow at a high rate. Water will automatically shut off in neutral and resume as machine propels forward.
Operations Machine Operation Filling Solution Tank Pre-Run Machine Inspection Do a pre-run inspection to find possible problems that could cause poor performance or lost time from breakdown. Follow the same procedure each time to avoid missing steps. NOTE: Perform Pre-run Machine Check before operating machine . See Service Schedule in Maintenance Section. Starting Machine FOR SAFETY: Before starting machine, make sure that all safety devices are in place and operating properly. 1.
Operations Normal Scrubbing Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The longest track is around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned. For efficient operation, the runs should be the longest possible without turning, stopping, or raising or lowering scrub deck/squeegee. In order to achieve the best possible results, the area which is to be cleaned should be swept before scrubbing. Large debris, strings and wire must be removed to prevent being caught in brushes or vacuum shoe.
Operations To Begin Scrubbing To Stop Scrubbing When operating the machine around people, pay close attention for unexpected movement. Use extra caution around children. 1. Rotate the function knob to either transport position. The brush motor will stop and the scrub deck will rise to the park position. After 10 seconds the vacuum shoe will raise, and 10 seconds later the vacuum motor will turn off. This delay is to clear the vacuum hose of recovered solution. 2.
Operations Solution Tank 1. Remove the recovery tank lid. Recovery Tank Lid 2. Pull the solution drain hose from its mounting pocket. Unscrew the cap, then lower hose in direction of drain. 3. Remove the solution tank cap. 4. Flush the solution tank out with clean water and run several gallons of clean water through systems. Do not use water hotter than 140°F (60°C) to clean tank. Damage may occur. 5. If machine is to be stored, leave solution cap off. NOTE: Never allow solution to remain in tank.
Operations Vacuum Shoes 2 1 3 1. Vacuum Shoe Release The latch holds the vacuum shoe in place. 2. Vacuum Hoses and Y-Tube Vacuum shoe hose and y-tube carry the recovered solution to the recovery tank. 3. Vacuum Shoes Contact the carpet to recover solution. Vacuum Shoes The dual offset vacuum shoes are designed to remove soiled solution from the carpet. The plastic vacuum shoe glides minimize damage to the carpet.
Operations To Operate Off-Aisle Cleaning Option 1. Turn Function Mode Dial to selection B2 to lower vacuum shoes. 5. Connect Off-Aisle Tool vacuum hose and Solution hose. 6. Turn key to “on”. 7. Turn Function Mode Dial to selection-C. 2. Turn key to off when vacuum shoes touch the floor. 3. Disconnect water supply from deck and connect to off-aisle pump. 4. Disconnect both vacuum hoses from vacuum shoes and connect to off-aisle vacuum port connections. 8.

Maintenance Batteries (Wet Cell Only) The batteries provide the power to operate the machine. The batteries require regular maintenance to keep them operating at peak efficiency. The machine batteries will hold their charge for long periods of time, but they can only be charged a certain number of times. To get the greatest life from the batteries, charge them when their charge level reaches 25% of a full charge. Use a hydrometer to check the charge level.
Maintenance Checking Battery Specific Gravity Charging Batteries Use a hydrometer to check the battery specific gravity. When servicing machine, avoid contact with battery acid. Lors de l'entretien de la machine, évitez tout contact avec l'acide de batterie. Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result. Keep sparks and open flame away. Keep covers open when charging. Les batteries émettent du gaz hydrogène. Une explosion ou un incendie peut en résulter.
Maintenance Use a 36 volt, 20 amp maximum output DC charger which will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged. 1. Stop the machine in a clean, well ventilated area next to the charger. 2. Turn “OFF” machine. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 3. Open rear cover, unplug batteries from machine, unlatch battery tray and pull out to expose batteries. Batteries emit hydrogen gas. Explosion or fire can result.
Maintenance Changing Batteries Stop the machine in a clean area next to the charger. Turn off machine. FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or servicing the machine; stop on level surface, turn off machine and remove key. 1. Remove the rear cover. 2. Disconnect battery pack from machine. 3. Unlatch battery tray from machine and pull out to expose batteries. 4. Use the proper size open end wrench to disconnect main ground wire first and secure cable terminal away from batteries. 5.
