The AquaRide / BRX 700 is equipped with a low voltage cutout feature that will turn the scrub system off when the batteries are discharged to their minimum level. There are two different cutout levels to accommodate different battery types.

• Cylindrical Brush System Overview See Figure 6. The machines AquaRide SE and BRX 700 use two cylindrical brushes that counter rotate to sweep up light debris and scrub at the same time. Each scrub brush is powered on opposing ends by 3/4 HP permanent magnet motors attached to separate poly-V belt/pulley drives.
Note: Reference the Main Control Board Troubleshooting Guide in the Electrical System of this manual for specific fault descriptions and service repair actions. FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 FORM NO. 56043089 / AquaRide ™ / BRX 700 - 29 29 29 29 29...

FACTORY DEFAULT: 1 (10 MINUTES) If the AquaRide is left in an idle state for a period determined by the sleep delay setting the control unit will automatically raise the scrub deck and turn off any accessories. This is to conserve battery power. The sleep period is adjustable from 10 to 90 minutes in 10 minute increments.
