How to Clean a Floor

WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials
used with this type of machine can leave
wet areas on the floor surface. These
areas can cause a dangerous condition
for the operator or other persons.
Always put CAUTION signs near the area
you are cleaning.
For one touch automatic cleaning follow this procedure:
1. Turn the key switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the solution tank.
3. Sit on the driver seat. NOTE: The machine will not
traverse if the operator is not properly seated.
4. Turn the key switch "ON". NOTE: The key switch turns on
the battery and LED screen displays, which shows the
machines condition.
5. The machine has a one touch button on the joystick (see
figure 33) that is preset for brush pressure and solution
flow. Momentarily depress the one touch button if you wish
to use these settings. NOTE: If this is not the settings that
you desire see page 16 or one touch operation.
For manual control of cleaning process, follow these
procedures:
1. Turn the key switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the solution tank.
3. Sit on the driver seat. NOTE: The machine will not
traverse if the operator is not properly seated.
4. Turn the key switch "ON". NOTE: The key switch turns on
the battery and LED screen displays, which shows the
machines condition.
5. Lower the squeegee. NOTE: The vacuum motor will turn
on when the squeegee up/down switch is placed in the
lower position.
6. Lower the brush head until it reaches the full stroke down.
NOTE: The brushes will start rotating only when the
machine begins to traverse.
7. Reset the solution flow valve by using the + / - solution
switch. NOTE: The solution will flow only if the machine
is moving forward.
8. Press the joystick in the desired direction/position. After
the joystick is pressed the machine will begin to move and
the brushes will start to rotate and solution will begin to
flow.
9. 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.
10. Once the machine is set properly continue to scrub until the
solution low indicator comes on or until you run out of
solution.
WARNING: If the machine develops operating
problems while working, remove your
hand from the joystick. After resolving
the problem, continue working.
NOTE: When making multiple passes across the floor, overlap
the brush cleaning path 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.
