Double Scrub, Emptying and Cleaning Tanks

MACHINE OPERATION

DOUBLE SCRUB

Floors which are heavily soiled or have thick accumulations of floor finish may not clean sufficiently with one pass. In these cases it will be necessary to double scrub.

To double scrub, begin scrubbing as usual, but after push- ing number 1, press the squeegee button to turn off vac mo- tor. Manually raise the squeegee. Make the first pass over the surface being cleaned with the solution on, and brush- es down and squeegee up. This allows the solution to stay in contact with the soil while loosening the surface accumu- lation with the brushes. Allow time for the first application to stay in contact with floor. Length of time between the first and second pass depends on amount of accumulation and the type of chemical being used. A second scrubbing with the squeegee down and again the solution and brushes on will further loosen soil. The additional application of solu- tion will further assist the difficult cleaning job.

EMPTYING AND CLEANING TANKS

RECOVERY TANK

1.Park the SABER/STRIDE II next to a floor drain. Drain hose is on left rear corner of machine.

2.Turn “OFF” the key switch and set the machine parking brake.

3.Unhook the large drain hose from the retainer and unscrew T-handle on plug enough to release the plug, then lower hose in direction of the drain. Recovered solution will come out with some force.

4.The recovery tank should then be flushed out with clean water. Hinge solution tank open to access

recovery tank.

5.If machine is to be stored, leave solution tank hinged open.

SOLUTION TANK

1.Drain solution tank by unhooking the small solution drain hose from left rear of tank.

2.Loosen T-handle on plug enough to remove plug. Allow tank to drain completely.

3.Flush tank of all chemical solution.

4.Run several gallons of clean water through system.

NOTE: Never allow solution to remain in tank. Damage to tank, seals and valves could occur.
