FACTORY DEFAULT: 1 (FULL RANGE) The CR 1100/1200 has three scrub pressure settings. The default pressure settings range from the minimum pressure required for adequate cleaning to the maximum pressure that the scrub motors can safely handle with one setting halfway in between. It is possible to bias these settings either to a low range or a high range.
Page 63
RANGE: 0 - 2 The side brooms on the CR 1100/1200 are programmed to always come on when the main broom is fi rst activated. If this is not desired, the operating mode of the side booms can be changed. To select the operating mode: Turn the main power key switch to the off position.
Page 64
FACTORY DEFAULT: 2 (no change) RANGE: 0 - 2 The dust control on the CR 1100/1200 can be programmed to turn on or off or stay in its current state when the hopper is raised for dumping. To select the operating mode: Turn the main power key switch to the off position.
Page 65
RANGE: 1 - 3 The CR 1100/1200 can be programmed to automatically limit the maximum travel speed while scrubbing only, sweeping only, or either scrubbing or sweeping. To select which operation will cause the automatic speed reduction, perform the following steps: Turn the main power key switch to the off position.

RANGE: 0 - 9 If the CR 1100/1200 is left in an idle state for a period determined by the sleep delay setting the control unit will automatically turn off any accessories. This is to conserve battery power. The sleep period is adjustable from 10 to 90 minutes in 10 minute increments. It can also be turned off. To change the sleep delay period perform the following steps: Turn the main power key switch to the off position.

If you are using a programmer, put it into the test mode by pressing the TEST key. Scroll down to observe the status of the forward, reverse and brake switch (brake switch is actually the seat switch on the CR 1100/1200). Cycle each switch in turn, observing the programmer. Each input should show the correct state on the programmer.
