CONTROLS 3. ONE TOUCH SWITCH This switch controls the scrub brushes and vacuum all in one touch. To start scrubbing, press the one touch switch. The brush drive motors will turn on, the scrub deck will lower to the "light scrub" position, the solution will flow at “two bars” rate, the squeegee will lower and the vacuum will turn on.
Page 15
CONTROLS 5. SOLUTION CONTROL SWITCH This switch controls the amount of solution flow to the scrub deck. There are 7 different flow settings. To increase the solution flow, press the solution control switch (+). To decrease solution flow, press the top of the switch (-).

CONTROLS 7. DISPLAY TOGGLE SWITCH The display toggle switch allows you to change the information display screen. Two screens are available. • INFORMATION DISPLAY –SCREEN 1 • INFORMATION DISPLAY –SCREEN 2 • The hour meter is viewed on screen 2 of the information display. Hours are displayed for key ON time, brush run time, and traction motor time.

CONTROLS • The float switch is located inside the recovery tank. The purpose of the float switch is to notify the user that the recovery tank is full. When the float switch is activated, the scrub brush motors and solution flow will stop, the scrub deck will raise, the squeegee will rise after 60 seconds, and the vacuum motor will turn off 10 seconds later.

CONTROLS 9. RECYCLE SWITCH (OPTIONAL) This switch controls the solution recycle pump. To start recycle pump, press the switch. A green light above the circuit breakers will indicate that pump is on. The solution control switch will control the speed of the pump and therefore the amount of solution flow to the scrub deck. Make sure there is an adequate amount of water in recovery tank before starting recycle pump, and turn off recycle pump when water level reaches filter.
