How To Clean A Floor

WARNING: Water solutions or cleaning materials used with this type of machine can leave wet areas on the floor surfaces. These areas can cause a dangerous condition for the operator or other persons. Always put CAUTION signs near the area you are cleaning.

To clean a floor follow this procedure:

1.Set the parking brake (if equipped with machine.)

2.Put the water and a cleaning chemical in the clean solution tank.

3.Release the parking brake (if equipped with machine.)

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

5.Lower the squeegee.

6.Press the brush down button until yellow light is illuminated and the correct pressure is achieved.

WARNING: This machine is capable of maximum head pressure with worn pads or brushes. With this feature, there is the possibility of exceeding the recommended brush pressure on new pads or brushes. This will either create re-occurring circuit breaker tripping or the possibility of lost traction and control. The brush switch should be activated to accomplish only enough brush pressure for the job. This will allow longer battery life and cleaning time.

NOTE: Keep the machine moving when the brush is rotating on the floor. Pre-wet brush/pad or keep light pressure on brush until solution flow is adequate to keep brush/pad from scratching the floor.
