CHEMICAL INJECTION For machines equipped with the optional chemical injection system: Place a 1-gallon chemical container in the holder (located behind the battery compartment, under the Recovery Tank). Insert the hose into the container so that the filter at the end of the hose rests on the bottom of the container.
SCRUB HEAD Running the machine in SCRUB ONLY or VACUUM+SCRUB will lower the scrub head to the floor. The scrub head motors will begin running when the throttle pedal is depressed. Scrub head down pressure is set using the DOWN PRESSURE selector on the Control Panel.
DISK SCRUB HEAD STANDARD OPERATION NOTE: Do not operate the Disk Scrub Head without a pad installed on the pad driver. Operating the head without a pad will damage the floor. With power off and the Scrub Head raised, lift the Side Squeegees to the raised position. Align the pad driver assemblies with the bayonet drivers on the machine.
RECOVERY SYSTEM RECOVERY TANK To drain and rinse the recovery tank: Remove the Recovery Drain Hose from the holder and lower the end into the drain location. Remove the press-fit cap from the Recovery Drain Hose, squeezing the restriction collar to control the flow. As the tank drains, lean the Recovery Tank back and open the lid.

SQUEEGEE SYSTEM Squeegee Blades and system should be inspected and maintained regularly to achieve peak machine performance.

Remove: Loosen the easy-grip knobs, remove the vacuum hose, and remove the assembly.
Page 21
INSPECTION & CLEANING Inspect both squeegee blades. Blades edges are considered worn if the edge is not clearly defined or if the edge is worn halfway through the thickness of the blade. Blades can be flipped and rotated to use all four edges. Thoroughly clean the blades, frame, and neck of any debris.
