How To Operate the Machine (cont.)
6.
Lower the squeegee. NOTE: The vacuum motor will
turn on when the squeegee up/down switch is
placed in the middle or lower position.
7.
Lower the brush head until it reaches the full stroke down.
NOTE: The brushes will start rotating only when the
accelerator pedal is pressed.
8.
Place the forward/neutral/reverse switch in the forward
position.
9.
Open the solution flow valve by lowering the lever.
NOTE: The solution will flow only if the machine is
moving forward.
10. Press the accelerator pedal. After the accelerator pedal
is pressed the machine will begin to move, the squeegee
will lower and the brushes will start to rotate.
11. After a few feet of scrubbing, check to see that the
amount of solution being applied is correct and that the
squeegee is picking up water and drying the floor. Make
adjustments as required.
12. Once the machine is set properly continue to scrub until
the solution runs out.
WARNING:
If the machine develops operating
problems while working, remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal
and apply the emergency brake. Set
the parking brake and turn the key
switch "OFF". After resolving the
problem, release the parking brake
and continue working.
NOTE: When making multiple passes across the floor, let the
brush clean approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of the area already
cleaned by the brush.
NOTE: During most cleaning procedures, apply and remove
the solution in one operation.
How to Clean a Very Dirty Floor
To clean a very dirty floor, follow this procedure:
1.
Apply solution to the floor.
2.
Do not lower the squeegee. This will keep the vacuum
motor off.
3.
Lower the brush or pad and scrub the floor.
4.
Scrub the floor again with additional solution and lower
the squeegee.
5.
Pick up all the solution with the squeegee.
Do These Procedures When You End Your Work Period
Having finished the job and before any type of maintenance is
done, follow these procedures:
1.
Close the solution flow valve by sliding the handle to its up
most position (see figure 42).
2.
Press the brush up/down switch to the up position until
the brush head has reached its up most position.
