How to Operate the Squeegee and the Vacuum Motor

The squeegee wipes the floor while the vacuum motor removes the dirty solution from the floor. To operate the squeegee, follow this procedure:

1.To lower the squeegee and start the vacuum motor, press the squee- gee up/down switch to the down position (figure 24). NOTE: The vacuum motor will start immediately when the down position of the switch is pressed, and the squeegee will lower.

2.To raise the squeegee, press the squeegee up/down switch to the up position (figure 24). The squeegee will then raise and the vacuum motor will shut off after short delay NOTE: The center position of the squeegee up/down switch is for use with one touch control.

NOTE: The squeegee will rise automatically when traversing in reverse during scrubbing operations.

How to Operate the Solution Flow

The solution is used to loosen and remove dirt from the floor. The amount of solution applied can be adjusted to five different levels to accommodate many different floor conditions. These different levels are shown on the LCD display on the front of the machine. To adjust the amount of solution applied, use the Solution Flow Switch (figure 25). NOTE: There are five different settings on the display. See figure 26, A.

To increase solution flow:

1.Press the “ + ” side of the switch (figure 25).

2.Press and hold the “ + ” switch to achieve the desired level of solution flow.

To decrease solution flow:

1.Press the “ - “ side of the switch (figure 25).

2.Press and hold the “ - “ side of the switch to achieve the desired level of solution flow.

How to Operate the Brush Pressure

The brushes are used to supply agitation for the solution, which improves the cleaning process. The amount of brush pressure applied can be ad- justed to five different levels to accommodate many different floor condi- tions. These different levels are shown on the LCD display on the front of the machine (figure 26, B). To adjust the amount of brush pressure, use the brush up/down switch (figure 27).

To increase brush pressure:

1.Press the “ + ” side of the switch (figure 27).

2.Press and hold the “ + ” switch to achieve maximum level of pres- sure.

To decrease brush pressure:

1.Press the “ - “ side of the switch (figure 27).

2.Press and hold the “ - “ side of the switch to achieve minimum or no brush presssure.
