MACHINE OPERATION
SCRUBBING WITH THE SABER/STRIDE II
Plan the scrubbing pattern in advance. The longest track is around the perimeter of the area to be cleaned. For efficient operation, the runs should be the longest possible without turning, stopping, or raising and lowering scrub deck/ squeegee.
NOTE: In order to achieve the best possible results, the area which is to be cleaned should be swept before scrub- bing. Large debris, strings, wire must be removed to pre- vent being caught in brushes or squeegee.
BEGIN SCRUBBING
1.Turn key switch to “ON” and release the brake.
2.Travel to the start of the scrub pattern. Press the brush button number 1 on the console touch pad to start the vacuum, brush motors, and lower scrub deck and manually lower squeegee to the floor.
3.Press the scrub pressure button to the desired scrubbing pressure.
4.Finally adjust the solution flow using lever to the left of the control panel.
STOP SCRUBBING
1.Raise the scrub head, again using button number 1. Allow directions lever to return to neutral position after squeegee has passed beyond the position where the scrub deck was raised. Vacuum motor will cut off after an additional 14 second delay in order to clear the recovery system of solution.
2.Turn the key switch "OFF” and set the parking brake.
3.Pull back solution knob to full off position if scrubbing operation is complete.
