How To Operate The Machine (cont)

WARNING: This machine is capable of maximum head pressure with worn brushes. With this feature, there is the possibility of exceeding the recommended brush pressure on new brushes. This will either create reoccurring 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 brushes are rotating on the floor. Pre-wet brushes or keep light pressure on brushes until solution flow is adequate to keep brushes from scratching the floor.

To pre-wet brushes you should first turn the speed knob to the lowest setting. Then lower brushes until brushes are just touching the floor. Activate the forward/reverse switch to start motor and solution flow.

7.Turn the solution knob to the right to activate the flow of solution. Adjust the flow of clean solution to the flow desired.

8.Move the machine across the floor in the forward direction.

9.Make a 180° turn.

NOTE: When you make more passes across the floor, let the brush clean approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of the area already cleaned by the brush.

NOTE: During most cleaning procedures, apply and remove the solution in one operation.

How To Clean A Very Dirty Floor

To clean a very dirty floor, follow this procedure:

1.Apply solution to the floor.

2.Do not lower the squeegee. This will keep the vacuum motor off.

3.Lower the brush or pad and scrub the floor.

4.Scrub the floor again with additional solution and lower the squeegee.

5.Pick up all the solution with the squeegee.
