SQUEEGEE SYSTEM SQUEEGEE SYSTEM The Magnum’s squeegee system is designed to work with the recovery system to pick up water and dirt from the floor using air flow created by the vacuum motor. The front blade of the squeegee tool is designed with notches that allow the air ,water and dirt to pass through it while metering the air, increasing its speed through the tool and recovery system.
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM A pitch adjustment that allows the operator to adjust the squeegee for different floor surfaces. This is used for creating more of a leak under the front blade for smooth floors or less of one for rough floors. SQUEEGEE SUSPENSION BREAKDOWN �...
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM TRIANGLE PLATE & TOW BAR These parts cannot be bent at all. They must be completely straight and flat. If either is bent replace it. If you replace the triangle plate, adjust the clearance between the bottom of the plate and the top of the tow bar so clearance is 7/8”...
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM The front blade wears very well when properly adjusted, but it can get torn. It can be installed one of two ways: “3 notches down” for normal floors, and “5 notches down” for extremely smooth floors. REPLACING BLADES We stock individual blades or blade kits that include a blade set and new set of squeegee wheels.
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT A squeegee needs to be adjusted to the type of surface that it is operating on. This means the adjustments that pick up well on rough concrete will probably not work well on glass- smooth vinyl tile or ceramic tile. The reverse would hold true also, a squeegee set up for a smooth surface will not work well on rough surfaces.
SQUEEGEE SYSTEM The squeegee assemble has adjustable squeegee wheels. The adjustment for this is a 5/16 fine thread bolt and lock nut. It was designed this way to keep non-service person- nel from adjusting it. The squeegee wheels wear with use and periodic adjustment of their height is required.

SQUEEGEE LIFT SYSTEM SQUEEGEE LIFT SYSTEM The squeegee lift system on the Magnum was designed with simplicity in mind. It has very straight forward operation and minimal parts to assure consistent and highly reliable opera- tion. TO OPERATE Move the squeegee lift lever from right to left. The squeegee will drop and the vacuum motor will then run.

RECOVERY SYSTEM RECOVERY SYSTEM The recovery system of the Magnum series is powered by a 24 volt 550 watt vacuum motor. The recovery tank is designed with a large lid to facilitate 100% access for complete clean- ing out the recovery tank when use of the machine is finished. The vacuum motor draws air in through the squeegee tool, through the squeegee hose and into recovery tank.
RECOVERY SYSTEM VACUUM FLOAT The vacuum float assembly is located inside the RETAINING recovery tank and is accessed by opening the re- CLAMP covery tank lid. The float assembly stops the flow of air in the event that the recovery tank is filled to capacity.
RECOVERY SYSTEM VACUUM MOTOR The vacuum motor used on the Magnum series scrubbers is a high efficiency, shunt would motor. The motor runs a approximately 12, 000 RPM. The motor is rated at 550 watts and has 72” of water lift. Although the motor has service parts available it is advised to replace the entire motor as all the motor parts have about the same life and repairs are usually cost prohibitive.

SOLUTION SYSTEM SOLUTION SYSTEM The solution system on the Magnum series consists of main body of the machine which is also the solution tank, the fill opening, sight gauge/drain, filter, potentiometer, controller, and solution solenoid valve. The solution is turned on automatically when the brush deck is turned on and turns off automatically when the brush deck tuns off.
SOLUTION SYSTEM SOLUTION SYSTEM ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT The electrical circuit of the Magnum series is divided into two parts. The input circuit and the output circuit. The input circuit consists of the controller, the scrub switch and the solution potentiometer. The controller produces a high (5 volt) and a low (0 volt) signal that is sent to the potentiometer the potentiometer outputs a varied voltage from 0 to 5 volts.

BRUSH DRIVE SYSTEM BRUSH DRIVE SYSTEM The brush drive system on the Magnum Series comes in two versions. The disc type and the cylindrical type. Each one has its own merits although they do the same thing which is turn the scrub brush or scrub pad.
BRUSH DRIVE SYSTEM SETTING BRUSH PRESSURE The scrub deck pressure is adjusted continuously while scrubbing. Using the brush pres- sure switch on the control panel you set the desired scrubbing pressure. The desired brush pressure is shown on a bar graph on the LCD display. There are 5 different settings to choose from.
BRUSH DRIVE SYSTEM INSTALLING & REMOVING BRUSHES DISC MACHINES With the machine turned on, turn off the brush deck switch. Turn machine power off. Open the two latches on the jaws and swing them aside. Rotate each brush until both tabs of the spring clip are accessible.

BRUSH LIFT SYSTEM BRUSH LIFT SYSTEM The active brush lift system on the Magnum series consists of an actuator, down pres- sure springs, scrub switch and the controller. The brush deck is raised and lowered by the brush deck actuator which is driven by the controller. The actuator circuit is internally protected from electrical overload by the controller.
BRUSH LIFT SYSTEM ing the parameters of the controller. When the throttle button is depressed the controller monitors the amp draw of the brush motor and adjusts the scrub deck height to obtain the target amp draw on the scrub motors. The target amp draw of the motors is set using the brush pressure switch on the control panel.
BRUSH LIFT SYSTEM ACTUATOR ADJUSTMENT To access the limit switch in the actuator remove the black rubber strip on the face of it. Loosen the set screw just enough for the switch to slide. To increase the travel of the deck slide the limit switch down toward the floor.

BATTERY SYSTEM BATTERY SAFETY DANGER OF EXPLODING BATTERIES Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen. Because self-discharge action generates hydrogen gas even when the battery is not in op- eration. Make sure batteries are stored and worked on in a well ventilated area. ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 (U.S.
BATTERY SYSTEM HANDLING BATTERY ACID Battery acid, or electrolyte, is a solution of sulfuric acid and water that can destroy clothing and burn the skin. Use extreme caution when handling electrolyte and keep an acid neu- tralizing solution - such as baking soda or house hold ammonia mixed with water - readily available.
BATTERY SYSTEM STUD TERMINAL The stud terminal is typically used on heavy duty batter- ies. The terminals have a stainless steel threaded stud embedded in them that the connections are made to. COMBINATION TERMINAL The combination terminals come in a few different configurations.
BATTERY SYSTEM BATTERY SYSTEM The battery system for the Magnum series consists of either 2 - 12 volt or 4 -6 volt deep cycle batteries. They are offered in 3 different sizes of lead acid and 2 sizes of mainte- nance free gel battery for each machine.
BATTERY SYSTEM BATTERY CABLES & TERMINALS The battery cable connections must remain tight and corrosion free. In the event that the battery cables or terminals become corroded follow accepted battery safety precautions, disassemble and clean the terminals with a baking soda and water solution and a wire brush, making sure not to get any INSIDE the battery.
Page 61
BATTERY SYSTEM The state-of-charge of a lead acid battery can be determined by the specific gravity of the electrolyte (its weight compared to water). The specific gravity can be measured directly with a hydrometer or determined by the stabilizing voltage. A hydrometer is a bulb-type syringe which will extract electrolyte from a cell.
Page 62
BATTERY SYSTEM When testing with a load tester you are looking for a difference between cells of the batter- ies. All the battery cells should have similar readings. Any battery that contains a cell that has a value lower than .050 of the rest of the cells indicates you have a bad battery. Load test with a load tester: Make sure batteries are fully charged.
BATTERY CHARGERS There are 2 different chargers available for the Magnum series machines. We offer an off- board charger standard with the machine and an on-board charger is available as an op- tion.
BATTERY SYSTEM ON-BOARD CHARGER An on-board charger is offered as an option on the Magnum series of machines. The charger is a waterproof charger that is mounted right to the chassis of the scrubber. It is operated by simply plugging the power cord into the wall. The charger then will run through its charge cycle and automatically shut off.
BATTERY SYSTEM FAULT CODES FLASHING RED LED: Corrupt program memory in micro controller detected, charger mi- croprocessor has become corrupted. Charger must be returned to the factory. FLASHING YELLOW LED: Timer has expired. The 253-2441 uses a timer to independent- ly monitor each mode of the charge cycle: bulk, absorption and finish.

RELAYS The Magnum series uses only one relay. This relay is used to power the buss bars and iso- late them from the controller. There are relays internally mounted in the controller but these are not serviceable.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VACUUM MOTOR The vacuum motor is a very high speed motor that develops vacuum for the recovery sys- tem. The motors are designed to give a service life of 500 hours. See the “Recovery Sys- tem” chapter 5 for more information. ACTUATORS The Magnum uses only one actuator.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REMOVAL TOOL MOLEX MINI-FIT JR. CRIMPING TOOL CONTROLLER HIGH AMP OUTPUT TERMINALS (Brush, Vacuum, Traction) The controller high amp output connectors are crimped with a special crimping tool at the factory. The tool is not practical to use in the field so in the event that a new terminal is needed a wire end kit is available that is field installable.

COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM The Magnum series of machines is equipped with the Central Command II control system. Central Command II is designed around a very powerful controller that is has a industrial computer integrated into it. The controller is linked to a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to relay information to the operator or the service technician.
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM SOFT START Three of the outputs; traction, brush & vacuum, have a soft start function on them. This function provides the ability to start and stop a motor gradually over a measured period of time, 0-10 seconds. This aids in the longevity of the motors and anything driven by them as it greatly decreases the shock load on them.
Page 81
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM LCD DISPLAY The LCD display is a multi function display that conveys machine information to the opera- tor about the operation state of the machine and diagnostic information in the event of a malfunction. The LCD display communicates to the controller on a serial data connection that is made via the 6 wire connector running from the display to the controller.
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM SCREEN 3 To access this from screen 1 press the green page button twice. 9: BATTERY METER - This meter shows the charge level of the batteries in the machine. This gauge is designed to read properly while the machine is in use and therefore will vary during usage of the machine.
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS The Central Command II control system utilizes a Diagnostic Code system that displays diagnostic codes on the LCD display should a malfunction of the machine occur. The diag- nostic code can be looked up in the diagnostic code chart and it will assist you in determin- ing the cause of malfunction.
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM decide what device there is a request for and how it should operate the device. TRI-STATE LOGIC The Central Command II system uses very low voltage throughout it’s control system. This voltage is less than battery voltage and the controller will be destroyed if battery volt- age is induced into the control circuits.
COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM PROGRAMMING We use the same controllers on nearly all of our machines. The controller’s embedded computer needs a set of instructions to operate the machine. The instructions are the program the computer runs and we can modify this program by changing it’s “parameters”. This is what makes it possible to use the same controller in most of our machines but have each one of them react differently.
