How To Prepare the Machine For Operation

Absorption Stage - In the absorption stage the red and green light will be illuminated on the charger (See Figure 17). During this stage the charger maintains constant voltage and lets the batteries absorb the charge at their own rate.

Float and Maintenance Stage - In the mainte- nance stage the red light turns off and only the green light will be illuminated on the charger (See Figure 17. During this stage the charger applies a lower, closely regulated voltage to maintain full charge and prevents discharge. Batteries can be connected indefinitely without harm.

8.Unplug charger power cord from the wall outlet before powering up control panel on machine. Store the charger power cord in the storage compartment located under the control handle (See Figure 16).

9.Unlatch and stow prop rod back in solution tank and close recovery tank after charging has been com- pleted.

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the brush housing assembly when removing or installing the brush or pad driver. For greater access to the brush or when driving the machine up a ramp, the brush housing assembly can be removed. To remove brush housing assembly, pull outward on the spring loaded pin on the left side of the housing, then lift the brush housing assembly up and outward (See Figure 18). Reinstall the brush housing assembly in reverse order, making sure the cross bar in the brush housing is inserted into the two slots located in the motor mount and the spring loaded pin is locked into position (See Figure 19).

How To Install Rotary Brush or Pad Driver (if equipped)

To install the brushes or pad drivers on the machine, follow this procedure:

1.Turn the key switch clockwise ("L" models only). Press the green "ON" button.

2.Raise the brush head by pressing and holding the brush up switch until brush head is in it's full up and rotated position (See Figure 20).

3.Press the red "OFF" button or turn the key switch counter- clockwise on machines equipped with key.

4.Put a brush or pad driver under the brush motor plate and align the lugs on the motor with the slots on the brush gimbal.

5.Push the brush up and rotate counter direction to scrub rotation, until lugs lock (See Figure 20).

6.Reinstall brush housing if removed.

DANGER: Operating a machine that is not completely or fully assembled could result in injury or property damage. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled. Inspect the machine carefully before operation.
