    (make sure recovery tank has been drained before tilting). The battery compartment contains six 6-volt batteries connected in series. Connect the batteries according to the battery connection diagram (see diagram). The recommended batteries are 275Ah (Minuteman P/N 956740).
  • Page 14: Scrub Deck

    SCRUB DECK Minuteman offers two deck types (Cylindrical and Disc) to fit your specific needs. The ES2832 design is very dynamic wherein the decks are interchangeable in a matter of minutes whenever necessary (removal of four bolts, and two quick-connects). The cylindrical brush deck has five built-in spray jets to uniformly dispense cleaning solution on the floor and a wet sweeping debris tray to collect loose objects on the floor.

Use a piece of cardboard underneath the deck to prevent scratches to the painted surface when sliding the deck under the machine.
  • Page 16 Remove the two access doors (one each end) by removing the (3) nyloc nuts. Install the brushes by sliding through the access opening. Align the notches on the brush with the drive pins on the hub. Push brush all the way until it bottoms out. Insert access door hub to the other end of brush.
  • Page 17: Rear Squeegee

    REAR SQUEEGEE The rear squeegee is the main element that acts as the conduit that transfers the spent solution into the recovery tank. A daily maintenance check of this component is essential to have optimum machine performance. The rear squeegee assembly is equipped with a universal front blade that allows the operator the option to use a slotted and a non-slotted side for specific applications.
  • Page 18: Rear Squeegee Adjustment

    REAR SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT Ensure that the scrubber is on a relatively flat surface. Turn on the key switch and select the Vacuum only mode. This lowers the squeegee to the floor and turns the vacuum motor on. Move the scrubber one or two feet forward slowly while someone behind the machine checks the rear squeegee blade (item A) for uniform deflection to the floor.
  • Page 19: Off-Aisle Wand (Optional)

    OFF-AISLE WAND (optional) The ES2832 is equipped with a ready-to-use built-in telescoping off-aisle wand system for use in hard to reach areas. This integrated system eliminates attaching hose for use and detaching hoses for storage. By turning the pump switch ON (located behind the right handle of the control console) the off-aisle wand is ready to use in seconds.
  • Page 20: The Es2832

    The ES2832 has four available scrub head types and sizes to fit specific applications. Please contact your Minuteman representative for specific recommendations for the correct scrub head type, size, and brush type and chemical applications.
  • Page 21 Simply release the handle and squeeze the handle again to drive the machine. Please refer to the Main Keyboard section of this manual for a complete description of the functions. When Reverse is selected on the Directional Switch, the Rear Squeegee automatically is raised. However, the Scrub brushes will continue to rotate and solution will continue to flow.
  • Page 22: Maintenance Schedule
