Process of Cleaning • For effective floor cleaning with the ORBOT SprayBorg, move the machine forward and backwards. We recommend you to wet the floor as you move the machine forward, releasing the spray button when you move the machine backwards.
• Remove the pad from the driver plate by pulling it down firmly. To remove the HOS brush, see p.9. • Put the machine frame in an upright position by pulling the black knob with the left hand and move the handle frame upwards with the right hand.
• To eliminate the ORBOT from rolling or sliding during transport, lower the frame as far down as possible until it touches the wheels (Fig. 26). The frame acts as a brake, preventing uncontrolled movements. This form of transportation requires sufficient space in a vehicle.
SuperZorb Pads. • Mount the HOS brush with the same countersink screws used for mounting the driver plates. • IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION: Tighten the screws sufficiently to avoid disengagement of the brush from the machine during operation.
Fig. 29 Fig. 30 Fig. 31 • To remove the cap and spray hose from the water bottle, turn the bottle clockwise and secure the cap with the other hand until the cap comes off the bottle (fig. 32). Remove the hose and the filter from the water bottle.
Damaged screws can cause further damage. • Attach a HOS driver plate to the machine base by lining up the holes of the driver plate with the appropriate threads of the bearing retainer ring. It is recommended to align the threads of the bearing horizontally to the ground (fig.33, page 12).
HOS Standard Driver Plate • The HOS standard driver plate (15” in diameter/38 cm) is supplied as a standard with the ORBOT SprayBorg. It is suitable for the use with all HOS pads for textile and hard floor applications. •...
The SuperZorb pads can be washed and reused, if cared for appropriately, up to 100 times. HOS Glider • The HOS Gliders reduce the friction on textile surfaces. They are used to clean sensitive and long- fiber carpets gently or to facilitate the handling of the machine on very rough carpets. •...
HOS Multi-Purpose Brush • The bristles of the HOS brush are made of high quality nylon. This unique brush design works exclusively for the ORBOT and is ideal for cleaning tile and grout, concrete, rubber flooring and micro-porous surfaces such as porcelain and safety tiles, but can also be used for any other hard surfaces.
The mixing ratio of Environ HP is 1-4 oz/gal. (10-40 ml a liter), depending on the level of soil. • Enter the appropriate solution quantity in a HOS water bottle and store it in the provided holder as described on page 9.
Clean the machine with a soft cloth and a neutral pH cleaner. Cleaning the spray system: • Rinse the ORBOT spray system after each application to prevent clogging of the hoses, filters and the pump system. • To rinse the spray system, install a bottle filled with clear water and place a SuperZorb pad in front of the spray jets.
