Troubleshooting; Brush And Selection Use - BETCO STEALTH ASD20BT Operator And Parts Manual

INSUFFICIENT WATER ON THE PAD
1. Check the valve – located beneath the symbol – (1) is turned on.
2. Check there is water in the solution tank.
THE MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN WELL
1. Check the wear of the scrubbing pad and, if necessary, replace it.
THE SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY WELL
1. Check that the squeegee blades are clean.
2. Adjust the inclination of the squeegee.
3. Ensure the vacuum hose is correctly inserted in its housing in the recovery
tank.
4. Check the inner fi lter inside the recovery tank to ensure that it is clean and, if
necessary, clean it thoroughly.
5. Disassemble the entire vacuum unit and clean it.
6. Replace the squeegee blades, if worn.
7. Check squeegee wheel adjustment.
TOO MUCH FOAM IS GENERATED
Check that low-foam detergent is being used. If necessary add a small amount of defoamer liquid to the recovery tank.
Remember that more foam is generated when the fl oors are not very dirty. Dilute the detergent more when cleaning fl oors that
are not very dirty.
POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)
Used on all types of fl oors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 140°F (60°C)).
NYLON BRUSH
Used on all types of fl oors. Excellent resistance to wear and tear and hot water (even over 140°F (60°C)).
ABRASIVE BRUSH
The bristles of this type of brush are coated with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very dirty fl oors.
THICKNESS OF THE BRISTLES
Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth fl oors or fl oors with small joints. On uneven fl oors or those with
deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the gaps easier. Remember that when the bristles are worn and
too short, they will become rigid and are no longer able to penetrate and clean deep and cause the brush to bounce.
PAD DRIVER
A pad driver is recommended for cleaning smooth surfaces. There are two types of pad drivers:
1. The traditional pad holder is fi tted with a series of anchor points that allow the abrasive fl oor pad to be held while working.
2. The CENTER LOCK type pad holder not only has anchor points, but also a snap-type central locking system made of plastic
that allows the abrasive fl oor pad to be centered and held without any risk of it becoming detached.
