OPERATING THE MACHINE

The Captor™ is a rider-type automatic oor sweeping and scrubbing machine. It is designed to sweep up debris, lay down cleani ng solution,

scrub the oor, and vacuum dry all in one pass. The sweeping and scrubbing operations can also be performed separately.

The controls on the Captor were designed with one touch operation in mind. For single pass scrubbing the user can simply depress one switch and all scrub functions on the machine will be ready to go. For sweeping, the operator can simply lower the main broom and all sweeping functions will be ready to go.

Note: Bold numbers in parentheses indicate an item illustrated on pages 6-9.

BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE

1Be sure you understand all machine controls and their functions.

2Plan your cleaning route. Arrange long, straight passes with as few turns as possible.

3 Check the Brake Pedal (FF). The pedal should be rm.

If the pedal is “spongy” or fades under pressure, DO NOT DRIVE THE MACHINE. Report all defects immediately to service personnel.

STARTING THE DIESEL ENGINE

1Turn the Key Switch (MM) counter-clockwise to the “Pre-Heat” position and hold it there until the Glow Plug Indicator (E) turns OFF. Once the indicator turns OFF the engine can be started. Skip this step if the engine has been running and is already warm.

2Turn the Key Ignition Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute and try steps 1-3 again.

3Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.

4Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to warm up the hydraulic system.

STARTING THE GASOLINE ENGINE

1Turn the Ignition Key Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not

start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.

2Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.

3Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to warm up the hydraulic system.

STARTING THE PROPANE ENGINE

1Open the service valve on the LP fuel tank (5).

2Turn the Ignition Key Switch (MM) clockwise to the START position and release it as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start after cranking for 15 seconds, release the key, wait for 1 minute, then try again.

3Let the engine run at “IDLE” speed for 5 minutes before using the machine.

4Push the Engine Speed Switch (G) to switch to “FULL THROTTLE” and move the machine around for 2 or 3 minutes at a slow speed to warm up the hydraulic system.

ALWAYS operate the machine with the Engine Speed Switch at full throttle. Use the Drive Pedal (OO) not the Engine Speed Switch

(G)to control the speed of the machine. The speed of the machine will increase as the pedal is pushed closer to the oor. Do not press the Drive Pedal (OO) until the engine has started.

IMPORTANT NOTE: During normal operation the engine will continue to run for a short period of time (1-3 seconds) after turning the key OFF until all fuel is dispelled from fuel system.
