Page 13
MAINTENANCE CAUTION Do not overfill the battery cells. Do not use a hose or pail. If batteries are accidentally overfilled, remove excess water with the hydrometer provided with the machine. Dispose of excess in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. 3.
B.Amber light: All cells are OK but the total battery capacity is reduced. This usually indicates that the batteries are aging. C.Red light: The battery capacity is low and the entire charger/battery system needs to be inspected by a qualified Tornado serviceman.
MAINTENANCE Squeegee Blades 1. If a squeegee blade is worn or ripped, raise the squeegee assembly and remove the entire squeegee assembly. Disconnect vacuum hose, loosen two thumb screws and slide pivot frame out. Remove the wing nuts on the rear of the squeegee housing.
MAINTENANCE Squeegee Adjustment 1. Height and flatness adjustments are made by loosening the four screws (A & B) and lifting or lowering the entire squeegee mechanism as desired. 2. Turn machine on and move machine forward slightly. 3. Look down at the contact being made between the squeegee blades and the floor.
MAINTENANCE Vacuum and Water Recovery System NOTE: A dirty or clogged filter will greatly reduce suction and ability of machine to recover water. Inspect vacuum filter after each use as follows: 1. Disconnect hose. 2. Turn the two cam-shaped thumb locks. 3.
MAINTENANCE Draining Solution Tank: 1. Locate drain hose at front of unit and position over acceptable floor drain or container. 2.Turn valve handle to open drain valve. 3.Return valve handle to closed position. Tuck drain hose back on machine. Flush and clean tanks after each use and allow to air dry to eliminate odors and corrosion of vacuum motor.
Use the appropriate hour meter on the LCD Display to monitor runtimes for each motor. Tornado recommends changing motor brushes at the intervals specified below in order to avoid potential damage to the commutators. Replacement brushes need to be inspected and changed more often due to commutator wear.
