Operations 8. BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR Indicates the charge level of the batteries. The meter display is divided into 10 bars. Bars illuminated on the far right indicate full charge. Bars flashing near the left side indicate the batteries should be recharged. Further operation of the machine could damage the machine or the batteries.
Operations Scrub Controls 1. Function Mode Dial The first two positions are for transport only. See drive controls section. Daytime cleaning / light cleaning This mode is used for light cleaning. In this mode the machine will propel at a maximum of medium speed.
