The brushes will start rotating only when the machine begins to traverse.

7.Reset the solution flow valve by using the + / - solution switch.

NOTE: The solution will flow only if the machine is moving forward.

8.After a few feet of scrubbing, check to see that the amount of solu- tion being applied is correct and that the squeegee is picking up water and drying the floor. Make adjustments as required.

9.Once the machine is set properly continue to scrub until the solution low indicator comes on or until you run out of solution.

NOTE: When making multiple passes across the floor, overlap the brush cleaning path 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.
