How To Prepare the Machine For

Operation

Level Indicators for the Charge of the Batteries

The battery meter ( see figure 7) on the control panel has a digital read out with 10 fixed positions (A) and also a blinking indicator (B). The bars that appear on the display show the approximate charge level with icon (blinking) discharged battery.

NOTE: A few seconds after the voltage reads 32V it will start blinking. The brush motors will then automatically switch off.

How To Install the Squeegee

To install the squeegee onto the machine, follow this procedure:

1.The squeegee assembly has a break away feature that is also used for mounting the squeegee. Loosen the knobs on the squeegee (figure 8). Slide the stud into the slotted hole in the support frame on the machine.

2.Attach the vacuum hose cuff to the squeegee hose fitting (see figure 9).

3.Tighten knobs. NOTE: Do not overtighten or break away feature is lost and damage may occur.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the squeegee or machine, the squeegee was designed to break away from the machine. If the squeegee is impacted and it breaks away from the machine, simply reinstall it by following step 1-3.

How to Adjust the Squeegee

During operation, the rear squeegee blade should have a constant 3/16” minimum flare along the entire squeegee blade (see figure 10).

1.The squeegee body can be tilted to adjust the squeegee blade flare in the middle to match the flare on the ends. To adjust the tilt, loosen the adjusting bolt located on the left and right side of the squeegee (see figure 9).

2.Press down on the squeegee until both sets of guide wheels contact floor.

3.After making adjustments, retighten the screw(s).

NOTE: It is important that the right and left wheels are contacting the floor in order for the squeegee to work.

NOTE: As the rear squeegee blade wears, it can be rotated and/or flipped to obtain four good edges before having to change blades.
