BATTERY INSTALLATION AND CHARGING BACK OF MACHINE TOWARD OPERATOR BLACK WIRE TO WIRE TO SCRUBBER SCRUBBER BATTERY INSTALLATION Turn off all switches. Drain solution tank and recovery tank. Disconnect recovery dump hose from hooks on rear of machine so that recovery tank can lift. Lift recovery tank lid and tilt up recovery tank.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE To receive the longest life from the batteries, charge them when they have between 25% and 50% of a full charge. Do not allow batteries to remain in a discharged state for very long, as this shortens the total battery life. Be aware that a discharged battery will freeze easily.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEMS Before starting work Inspect pads for wear. Replace if needed. Turn on brush motors and check battery indicator gauge to assure that there is enough charge to scrub floor. After you are finished using scrubber for the day Raise squeegee and leave up.
