How To Operate The Squeegee
The squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor removes the dirty solution from the floor. Use your hand to lower or raise the squeegee handle. To operate the squeegee, follow this procedure:
1.To lower the squeegee and start the vacuum motor, move the squeegee lever to the right and down (See figure 25).
2.To raise the squeegee, lift the squeegee lever up (See figure 26.)
NOTE: The center position lets the vacuum motor continue to run with the squeegee off the floor to avoid drips and also allows you to back up the machine.
How To Fill The Solution Tank
The solution tank is filled at the rear of the machine (See figure 27). To fill the solution tank follow this procedure:
1.Add a cleaning chemical to the solution tank. For the correct amount of chemical, follow the direc- tions shown on the container.
2.Remove the solution lid and fill the solution tank with water.
WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials used with this type of machine can leave wet areas on the floor surface. These areas can cause a dangerous condition for the operator or other persons. Always put CAUTION signs near the area you are cleaning.
WARNING: Machines can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use with or near flammables such as gasoline, grain dust, solvents and thinners. Use only a commercially available cleaners and concentrations intended for floor scrubbing applications.
