How To Operate the Machine

How to Operate the Forward / Reverse Switch (see figure 28).

1.To go forward, push the up arrow side of the switch.

2.To go in reverse, push the down arrow side of the switch.

How to Fill the Solution Tank

The solution tank fill port is located at the left side of the machine (see figure 29). To fill the solution tank, follow this procedure:

1.Turn the key switch to the “OFF” position.

2.Remove lid.

3.Add a cleaning chemical to the solution tank. For the correct amount of chemical, follow the directions shown on the container. NOTE: Excess foam in the recovery tank could damage the vacuum motor, so use only the minimum amount of detergent necessary.

WARNING:

Always use low foam detergent. To

 

avoid the production of foam, before

 

starting to clean, put a minimum

 

quantity of antifoam liquid into the

 

recovery tank. NEVER USE PURE

 

ACID.

4.Fill the solution tank with clean water (see figure 29).

5.After filling the solution tank, replace the solution tank lid.

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. Only use a cleaning

 

concentration recommended by the

 

chemical manufacturer.

WARNING:

ALTO recommends a maximum

 

water temperature of 120°F (49°C).

Operating the Machine

NOTE: Before scrubbing with the machine, become familiar with the operations and handling of the machine. Run the machine at the lowest traverse speed. Use the machine in an area that has no furniture or objects until you can do the following:

1.Traverse the machine in a straight direction, forward and backward.

2.Stop the machine safely.

3.Turn the machine both left and right and return to a straight direction.

4.Turn a 180o turn where one rear wheel just pivots.
