MACHINE PREPARATION 1. UNPACKING THE MACHINE Use a fork truck to move the machine when packaged. Take off the outer package The machine is fixed on the pallet with wooden wedges that block the wheels and metal brackets anchored to the wooden skid. Take the wheel wedges and metal brackets off.
MACHINE PREPARATION Place the batteries in their compartment. Reassemble. 3. CHARGING THE BATTERIES NEVER ALLOW THE BATTERIES TO RUN COMPLETELY DOWN, recharge them within a few minutes after the battery indicator starts blinking. Never leave the batteries completely discharged, even if the machine is not being used. When charging the batteries, keep the recovery tank lifted with the prop as shown in the figure.
MACHINE PREPARATION 4. CONNECTING THE BATTERY CONNECTOR After charging the batteries, reconnect the battery connector (2) to the connector of the machine (1). 5. BATTERY INDICATOR The battery indicator is digital with 4 fixed positions and a blinking one. The numbers, which appear on the display, show the approximate charge level.
MACHINE PREPARATION 8. ADJUSTING THE SQUEEGEE INCLINATION During operation, the rear squeegee blade is most efficient when tilted back about 3/16 inch (5mm) along its whole length. To increase the blade bending in the central part, tilt the squeegee body backward by turning the adjuster (1) counter-clockwise. Subsequently, turn the adjuster clockwise to increase the bending at the sides of the squeegee blade.
MACHINE PREPARATION 10. BRUSH ASSEMBLY CONTINUED Place the brushes under the base. Line up the three lugs with the holes in the brush plate. Insert the brushes into the plate and turn each brush so the lugs are pushed toward their retaining springs, until clamped in place. The figure shows the direction of rotation for the coupling of the right brush.
OPERATION 1. STARTING WORK Connect the machine connector to the battery connector (1). Turn the key (2) clockwise to position I (ON) . The green signal light will come on (3) indicating the batteries are charged (if blinking, the batteries need to be charged). Press in on the top of the brush motor switch (1), the brush indicator light (4) will illuminate.
OPERATION 2. MOVEMENT The movement of this machine is obtained through lever (1), which causes tension on a flat belt. The machines speed is proportional to the force carried on the lever. Push down on the lever for forward movement. For reverse movement press on the lower half of the brush motor switch.
UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK After finishing your work and before any type of maintenance is done, it is necessary to do the following: Close the water valve through lever (1). Lift the brush base with the foot pedal. Lift the squeegee with lever (2). Note: The squeegee blades can be damaged if the squeegee is not raised during starage or transport.
DAILY MAINTENANCE 1. CLEANING THE RECOVERY TANK AND FILTER Release the drain hose on the rear panel. Unscrew the drain plug and completely empty the tank. Use gloves to protect yourself from contact with dangerous solutions Lift the cover of the recovery tank. Take off the vacuum plug by rotating it counter-clockwise.
DAILY MAINTENANCE 3. CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE To have the best drying results, keep the squeegee clean. To clean the squeegee: Lift the squeegee with its lever. Remove the hose (1) from the squeegee assembly. Clean the inside of the squeegee thoroughly with water. Clean the squeegee blades with water.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE 1. REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR SQUEEGEE BLADE If the rear squeegee blade is worn and does not dry the floor well, reverse the cleaning edge or replace it as follows: 1. Push the fixing plates (1) by tapping with a hammer, then rotate them. 2.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE 4. CLEANING THE SQUEEGEE HOSE Weekly or whenever the suction is insufficient, make sure the squeegee hose is not obstructed. To clean: Take off the hose from its coupling on the squeegee. Take off the other end from the recovery tank. Wash the inner part of the hose with a water jet from the tank side.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE 1. INSUFFICIENT WATER ONTO THE BRUSH Make sure the water valve is open. Confirm there is water in the solution tank. Make sure the solenoid valve switch is on. Make sure the brush switch is on. Clean the solution filter. Check the solenoid valve.
2. Upon compliance with the above warranty procedure, all warranted repairs will be completed at no additional charge or cost to the user. 3. Only Pacific Steamex Inc. or its authorized dealers and agents may make no charge warranty repairs on this product. All others do so at their own risk.
