Troubleshooting Guide - Pacific Proteus 26 Operating & Maintenance Instructions

1) INSUFFICIENT WATER TO THE BRUSHES
a) Make sure the water valve is open (lever 1).
b) Confirm that there is water in the solution tank.
2) THE MACHINE DOES NOT CLEAN SATISFACTORILY
a) Check the condition of the brushes or pads and replace
them if necessary.
b) The brushes should be replaced when the bristles reach a
length of 5/8 inches (15mm).
3) THE SQUEEGEE DOES NOT DRY THE FLOOR WELL
a) Check that the squeegee blades are clean.
b) Adjust the inclination of the squeegee.
c) Confirm the vacuum hose is correctly fitted into its port in the recovery tank.
d) Remove the entire vacuum assembly and clean it.
e) Replace the blades if worn.
f) Check that the vacuum motor switch is on.
g) Check the squeegee height adjustment (see "MACHINE PREPARATION" section).
4) EXCESSIVE FOAM PRODUCTION
a) Check that a low foaming detergent has been used. If required, add a small quantity of
defoamer liquid to the recovery tank. More foam is generated when a floor is lightly
soiled. Use less detergent if this is the case.
